food IS a theme park
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is BACK in Disney World, and we’re feeling festive about it!
Welcome to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
We’ve been to the party and seen the spectacular entertainment offerings, shopped the exclusive merchandise, and met some of the rare characters. But one of the biggest highlights for us here at DFB is the exclusive snacks…and several of our favorites are BACK this year, baby!
The holidays have arrived in Disneyland Resort…do you know what that means? It’s time to EAT!
YUM!
Just like any other seasonal celebration, the holliest jolliest time of year comes with tons of new sweets and savory items in the parks, and as the Disney Food Blog, it’s our duty to try a BUNCH of them and report back to you. So are these new snacks worth your time and money? Let’s find out!
The Disney Destiny is HERE, and the new Disney Cruise Line ship comes with some incredible details, theming, and storytelling.
The hydra!
One of the standout offerings onboard a Disney Destiny sailing is the entertainment, namely the new Broadway-style show, Hercules. This incredible production features live singers and dancers, as well as some larger-than-life effects. And during our media sailing on board the ship, we got to go behind the scenes of the show.
Getting ready to book your flight to Disney World? A new option is about to join the market!

When traveling to Disney World, people most often fly into the Orlando International Airport (MCO). MCO is home to several airlines and hundreds (sometimes thousands) of flights per day. Now, JetBlue Airways is expanding its options for flights to the Orlando airport!
Okay, all you chronic Disney World overpackers, raise your hands! (*slowly slides hand into the air guiltily*)
What shoes do you wear in the parks?
It can be seriously challenging to pack all your park outfits, Minnie ears, Loungefly backpacks, and hotel essentials in your luggage while still saving room for souvenirs on the way home. But you know what’s probably taking up too much space? Shoes! You really only need 3 pairs of shoes for Disney World — allow me to explain.
When Toy Story Land opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2018, it wowed fans with its incredible theming and larger-than-life set pieces.

With three rides and a popular quick service restaurant (followed by a table service spot and gift shop that opened a few years later) inside a land based on a beloved movie series, it’s no wonder that Toy Story Land stays busy year-round. But if there’s one complaint that the masses have about the land…it’s the lack of shade! [Read more…]
It’s time to start decorating for the holidays — that is, unless you’re one of those “not until after Thanksgiving” people.
It’s tiiiime!
But if you ask me, the Disney parks are decorated, and that means I have permission to decorate as well! If you’re looking for some inspiration, we’re dropping some of our favorite Disney-themed decor from Amazon below.
Holiday snacks have arrived in Disney World, and that means we’re running around from parks to hotels to Disney Springs with full bellies and Tupperware in hand.

Over the next few days and weeks, dozens of treats will pop up across the property, and we’ll be trying a BUNCH of them. Recently, we made a trip to Disney Springs to try several snacks, and we’re here to give you the roundup!
There’s a NEW hotel coming to Disney World, and we’re keeping a close eye on construction.

Disney Lakeshore Lodge is currently being constructed on the shores of Bay Lake in the Magic Kingdom area. It’s going to be a hotel that blends Disney stories with the natural environment, and we can’t wait to see it in person! But long before that happens, we’ve got a construction update to share.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has returned for the 2025 season, and we’re ready to PARTAYYYY!

This party offers some spectacular entertainment, unique characters, and a holly jolly atmosphere, but one of our top priorities when we stop by is the FOOD (it’s in our name, after all). Last year, we had some really delicious eats at the party that sadly haven’t returned for 2025!
