Opening night of Frozen Holiday Surprise in the Magic Kingdom
Embark on a magical journey with our Frozen friends from Arendelle as they usher in the festive season. The enchanting spectacle unfolds as Olaf, accompanied by over 100 adorable snowgie siblings, adorns Cinderella Castle with twinkling garlands, festive ornaments, wreaths, and more.
Following this whimsical transformation, join Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff on stage, all clad in their holiday finery, as they celebrate the joyous occasion alongside Olaf.
The grand finale is a breathtaking display of Elsa’s ice magic, culminating in the transformation of Cinderella Castle into a dazzling crystallized palace.
The opening night of Frozen Holiday Surprise, which took place last night, was a magical extravaganza that set the stage for nightly enchantment.

Earl of Sandwich Opening a Pop-up shop in the West End of Downtown Disney District
Fan-favorite Earl of Sandwich has had a tumultuous life at the Downtown Disney District in Disneyland. Soon, the sandwich shop will have a pop-up shop in the west end of Downtown Disney.
Earl of Sandwich closed in 2022 when the Downtown Disney District began a multi-year reimagining. Earlier this year, however, the fan-favorite spot took over the location of La Brea Bakery at the other end of Downtown Disney.
Now, the restaurant will be moving again as its current location will be the new home to Porto’s Bakery. A temporary Earl of Sandwich pop-up shop will open in the west end of Downtown Disney District (near Star Wars Trading Post) this winter, featuring a curated menu of guest favorite sandwiches!

Walt Disney World has officially transitioned from the Halloween to the Christmas season. While the transition is most evident in the change over of holiday decorations, the various snack shops throughout the parks also mark the transition via an offering of holiday treats sure to satisfy even voracious sweet tooth in your party!
Animal Kingdom is serving up a variety of caramel apples, including these two super cute options.
The caramel apples, like the treat on the left, feature Werthers Caramel. The cupcakes are always a popular option, especially when they are decorated like a Mickey Mouse Christmas tree!
Over at Magic Kingdom, the Main Street Confectionery is of course stocked with all of your favorite holiday treats. These Mickey Mouse Rice Crispy Treats are always super popular, and the Holiday Cheere North Pole Cotton Candy is the perfect snack to enjoy either in park or take home with you.
I love finding treats like this in the parks since they make great stocking stuffers or gifts to give to family for the holidays!
