The outdoor street area of the France Pavilion in Epcot has been decorated with large tinsel snowflakes. The shimmery blue and white snowflakes hang high between the buildings.
The large snowflake decorations are a simple but effective way to adorn the street in festive cheer. They’re also the only holiday decorations we saw in the France Pavilion.
Will you be heading to the France Pavilion soon to see the holiday decorations?

A visit to Universal Orlando just got a little more expensive
If you are planning a visit to Universal Orlando Resort, you may need to adjust your budget as your next trip just became a bit more expensive. In a move that is sure to affect vacation planning for many, Universal Orlando has confirmed that the ticket prices for theme park entry have been increased.
For those looking to spend a day at either Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure, the cost of a single park ticket ranges from $119 to $179, up from the previous range of $109 to $159 according to reporting by the Orlando Sentinel. Single Day Park to Park tickets have seen a similar increase, up to a range of $174 to $234 (based on date) from the previous range of $164 to $214.
For those planning to visit both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando during their central Florida vacation, the single day ticket prices for Walt Disney World range from $109 to $189 for adults (age 10+), with the single day park hopper add-on costing and additional $65. Disney World single day ticket prices vary both by date and park selected.
Universal Orlando released a statement in response to the increases that reads, in part: “Our pricing reflects the incredible, world-class entertainment experiences we continue to offer our guests, and with our date-based variable pricing model, guests have more flexibility when planning a visit to our destination and can choose the best time to visit that suits their needs.”

Walt Disney World is serving up a bevy of holiday treats to satisfy your sweet tooth
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!
