New caramel yummy seasonal treats are here! We are in that in-between time of year where we are all still loving the fall flavors and cozy feeling of the season but most of us can’t wait for Christmas too. Some of these treats are just perfect for that Fall / Winter transition.

Caramel Treats from Epcot’s german Pavilion

Two words, Epcot & Germany. I bet you can smell exactly what I am talking about, caramel! Walking past Epcot’s Karamell-Küche you are met with the most heavenly smell of buttery rich caramel even without stepping foot in the door. Not many guests have been able to walk by without stopping in at the only Werther’s Original store in the world.

You can find traditional treats like caramel apples, caramel popcorn, and more. You can also find fun seasonal treats as well.

Werther’s Original Holiday Caramel Flight

Check out this caramel flight. Four Werther’s Original Caramel mini-Squares inspired by Cranberry, Eggnog, Gingerbread, and Snickerdoodle flavors.

Werther’s Original Caramel Snickerdoodle Cookie

Cinnamon Sugar Cookie drizzled with Werther’s Original Caramel looks so amazing.

Werther’s Original Gingerbread Cookie Sandwich

The caramel flavor says Fall and the gingerbread says Christmas and holiday time. With its two soft Gingerbread Cookies, Buttercream Icing, and Werther’s Original Caramel sauce, it looks like the perfect cozy treat.

Werther’s Originals Caramel Hot Cocoa Square

This Werther’s Original Caramel Hot Cocoa flavored Square with Dark Chocolate and Mini Marshmallows is everything perfect that is Fall and Winter combined.

Werthers Original Caramel Fruit and Nut Granola Bar

Granola Bar with Almonds, Oats, and Cranberries layered with Werther’s Original Caramel and a sprinkle of Sea Salt. It can almost pass as a healthy snack right? When in Disney calories don’t count either.

Mickey Red Ornament Apple

This red Granny Smith Caramel Apple with White Chocolatey Coating, Marshmallows, Red Sugar, and Fondant Snowflakes is a winter wonderland of fun.

Mickey Blue Ornament Apple

If red is not your color this blue Granny Smith Caramel Apple with a white Chocolatey Coating, Marshmallows, Blue Sugar, and Fondant Snowflakes should do the trick.

Minnie Reindeer Apple

Of course I had to save the best for last! This Minnie Reindeer Apple is just the cutest. Who can resist that face?

Find Werther’s Original Caramel Treats at other select locations around Disney World.

Big Top Treats at Magic Kingdom Theme Park
Zuri’s Sweets Shop at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Candy Cauldron and Goofy’s Candy Company at Disney Springs
Bayview Gifts at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Screen Door General Store at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn

Disney’s 2022 Magical Holiday Celebration Taping in Disney World. Disney Cast members and select guests joined in on the taping of Disney’s Holiday Special segments being recorded at Disney’s Magic Kingdom over the past few days.

Tune in on Sunday, November 27th at 8 pm on ABC. We are unsure if it will show up on Hulu or Disney+ like in years past. Stay tuned for more details. We did catch the performance of Derek Hough, the social media star and former Dancing With The Stars performer and host, doing an amazing performance with dancers and fireworks.

Last night’s taping was for the Thanksgiving performance of Wonderful World of Disney Magical Holiday Celebration. Tonight, they are taping the Christmas show.

Magical Holiday Celebration

Derek Hough oversees his backup dancers and makes sure the choreography is tight.

Christmas Tree Stroll Returns to Disney Springs for 2022

The Christmas Tree Stroll is back and better than ever. With over 20 trees total, a few new ones, and some returning guest favorites there is so much to see!

Before you get started be sure to grab a Christmas Tree Stroll Map at one of the following locations.

Christmas Tree Stroll Map

You will need to mark your tree locations on the map using the included stickers.

You can start wherever you like but be prepared for a lot of walking. The trees can be found from one end of Disney Springs to the other. Consider this a great opportunity to do some shopping and exploring. Maybe even stop for a fun family photo or two as you come across all the great holiday photo opportunities.

Christmas Tree Themes

There are so many fun themes this year. You will have to cover a lot of ground to spot them all.

Encanto Tree

The Encanto tree is so colorful and bright. Butterflies and exotic flowers bring this tree to life.

Black Panther

You have to get up close to this Black Panther tree to take in all the gorgeous details. A glowing black panther in the middle of the tree reaches out with its black claws. The base of the tree shows landscapes and people. The top of the tree is adorned with a gold tower.

Coco

The Coco tree is decked out with phrases and scenes from the movie. It is both beautiful and touching.

Disney+

The Disney+ tree is lit up with a glowing blue garland and a glowing Disney+ sign tree topper.

Frozen

You can’t have a Disney Christmas without a little Frozen. This Frozen tree has Sven-inspired ornaments and we even spotted some carrots. Snacks for Sven or replacement noses for Olaf?

Guardians of the Galaxy

It looks like Star Lord himself decorated this tree. Complete with tape cassettes and futuristic baubles, this tree is out of the galaxy.

Haunted Mansion

No foolish mortal would want to miss this tree. The lovely Bride Constance Hatchaway graces this lovely tree complete with candelabras and other assorted haunted menageries.

The Lion King

You can’t help but smile at the baby Simba perched at the top of this Lion King tree. Natural materials and beautifully carved ornamentals. Toucans and wooden lion masks add just the perfect touch here.

Mickey & Minnie Mouse

Gold, red, and white make up our favorite duo’s tree. Mickey and Minnie are both represented here and of course, they didn’t forget the polka dots!

Moana

This tree will call you with its beautiful colors and adorable details. You can’t miss Hei Hei peaking out of the tree. You can even find the Kakamora around the tree in search of Moana’s boat which is surrounded by a sea of blue netting to resemble the ocean.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

This Nightmare Before Christmas tree is what most of us are dealing with right now! Half Halloween down and half Christmas up! You have the love the fun details hidden in this tree.

The Princess & the Frog

The vivid purples and greens here give you a heads up on this trees theming before you even get close enough to see the tiny details. Check out that sassy-looking gator tucked in there!

Raya & the Last Dragon

Rayas pals peek out at you beneath the shade of Raya’s straw hat. Glittery dragons encircle the branches.

Star Wars

C-3PO waves to guests below on this Star Wars-themed tree. Storm Troopers keep watch because you know they never miss a thing, while Jawas just keep watches. If you are a rebel spy you might want to be careful here.

Toy Story

The Christmas Angel Kitty tree topper on this Toy Story Tree is just so cute. You can tell the toys have been playing on this tree. Woody’s badge a couple of rockets and some LGM’s and more make up this fun tree.

Annual Passholder Tree

This Passholder tree is decked out with Passholder magnets and encircled with a monorail. Mickey’s likeness tops this tree off!

Once Upon a Toy Tree

This is one of the larger trees and you will have to really walk around this tall tree to take it all in. Its traditional decor brings out the kid in you.

Sphere Tree

This modern-looking tree greets guests entering Disney Springs and is pretty awe-inspiring. Its simple design is both elegant and glamorous.

Town Center Tree

This very large tree is gold and glittering in the sunlight. I can’t wait to see it lit up at night.

Coming Soon

The Make-A-Wish tree was not in place at the time of this article. A place marker and a coming soon notice informed guests to keep an eye out for this up-and-coming tree.

Don’t Forget to Collect Your Prize

Don’t forget to return to one of the map pickup locations to show them your completed map for a Christmas Tree Stroll prize button. A little bird told us you can always ask for it when you pick up your map if you might not be able to return later. The pins are only available while supplies last.

The Christmas Tree Stroll is free and is open during Disney Spring’s normal hours. You can really see the details on the trees during the day but you can really get the full effect with the pretty Christmas tree lights in the evening. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

Have you ever done the Christmas Tree Stroll? Let us know in the comments below.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach Officially Reopens today at Disney World

Cast members welcomed guests back to Disney’s Blizzard Beach today, just in time for the holiday season. Plus, for the first time in forever, the water park will include touches from the popular Disney film “Frozen!”

315539088_5565629526866184_3003374980136583683_n

The new Frozen features will be part of the kid-sized thrills of Tike’s Peak that’s popular among young guests who will delight in the statuettes of Olaf and his Snowgie pals in the warm wading pool, as well as Anna and Elsa’s igloo castle.

315334244_5565629580199512_9125481683225813586_n

The water park, which features heated water throughout the park, will also have an enhanced holiday atmosphere. This year there will be limited-time holiday offerings through Dec. 31 that include holiday-themed treats, snowfall and festive inner tubes. Guests can even meet a tropical-dressed Santa for the ultimate Florida holiday experience.

As the legend goes, Disney’s Blizzard Beach was once Florida’s first ski-resort after a blizzarding winter storm hit Walt Disney World Resort. Yet, before the skiers could strap on their boots, sunny Florida weather returned and powdery snow quickly turned to slippery slush. Bobsled and toboggan runs became downhill waterslides; a creek of melted mountain snow became a relaxing tube ride; and the chairlift now carries swimmers instead of skiers. Full of plenty of icy architecture and water-ful attractions, the water park’s snowy atmosphere amid the warm temperatures of Florida continues to bring guests back to the winter wonderland year after year.

Are you excited for the Reopening of Disney’s Blizzard Beach?

The holiday has arrived at Disney Springs! From the moment you come down the escalator you cannot help but notice the feeling of Christmas in the air. Ornately decorated light posts greet you as you step into Disney Springs Marketplace. Looking to your left you see swags of garlands bejeweled with ornaments and lights.

To your right you see storefronts decked out with beautifully themed swags and decor.

Heading toward the World of Disney you can’t help but notice a large beautiful Encanto-themed tree.

Christmas Tree Stroll

Not only is Disney Springs decorated for the holiday. You can also partake in a fun Christmas Tree Stroll. You can grab a free map from select locations, fill in the map with the appropriate sticker, and redeem it at the end for a free Christmas Tree Stroll button.

Holiday Picture Spots

There are so many cute photo-op spots to grab that selfie or even maybe take the next family photo for that Christmas card.

Everywhere you look archways, walls, and little nooks were decorated with Christmas magic.

You can’t help but get into the Christmas spirit after spending some time walking around Disney Springs. It may even convince the “Don’t rush Christmas” relative to put the tree up early!

Holiday Treats Galore

Disney Springs is the perfect place to get your shopping done but there are also so many fun holiday treats to try out.

Santa Stops Here Too

Even Santa himself will be stopping by Disney Springs to greet children of all ages. A virtual queue will be in place this year to help keep lines manageable.

Santa will meet guests inside the Once Upon a Toy Store location from November 11th through December 24th. You must be inside Disney Springs to access the virtual queue.

If you have any grinches in your family drag them on over to Disney Springs and you will have them decking the halls in no time. It really helps put you in the holiday spirit, even if it is almost 90 degrees out!
