Joy Through the World! Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort Return Nov. 8

Before we know it the Halloween decorations will vanish just as quickly as they materialized. Starting November 8, you will be able to celebrate all the holiday magic at Walt Disney World Resort and this my most favorite time of the year begins!

The whimsy and magic that comes with Christmas at Walt Disney World is like no other! From the Candle Light Processional in Epcot to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, there is something for all ages. Even the Walt Disney World resorts get into the holiday spirit with resort themed Christmas trees and in select resorts larger than life gingerbread displays.

On select nights in the Magic Kingdom you and your family can experience snow on Main Street, U.S.A. during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. During this event you can enjoy hot cocoa, snickerdoodles, and a variety of complimentary treats while you listen to the joyful sounds that transform the Magic Kingdom. There are special meet and greets with limited time characters including one very busy Santa Claus, you might even get a glimpse of Sandy Claws. Mickey invites you to join him in front of Cinderella’s castle for the night time firework spectacular Holiday Wishes! Followed by Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parade featuring your beloved Disney Characters and the world famous Toy Soldiers!

Tickets for this exclusive event start at $94.00(usd).

Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays is just what everyone needs to get into the Holiday spirit. Make sure to visit each country’s storyteller that will whisk you away to their homeland with stories of how they celebrate the Yuletide holiday. Plan a stop at each country’s Festival booth for a sweet treat and strong drink in celebration of their holiday traditions.

As the sun sets the choir warms up! The world famous Candlelight Processional is the retelling of the Christmas story narrated by a new celebrity every few days. This 50 piece orchestra begins on November 22nd and runs through December 31st! It is a must see that will remind you what the season is truly about.

At Hollywood Studios one of the newest holiday attractions is the Sunset Seasons Greetings. This turns the Hollywood Tower of Terror into a winter wonderland. With snow and your favorite Christmas carols, let the Disney Magic get you in the Holiday mood!

Don’t forget to head over to Toy Story Land where the yet to be revealed “Holiday Cheer” will turn Andy’s backyard into a winter wonderland. End the night with Jingle Bell Jingle Bam! A night time spectacular that mixes fire works with state of the art projections and lasers!

New this year at Disney’s Animal Kingdom you and the character from UP! can learn about Diwali, India’s festival of lights starting November 8th running through January 1st.

The Holiday season at Walt Disney World is a can’t miss. There are so many special touches and fine details that you will only get at Disney. Visit this winter and you will see why it’s my most favorite time of the year!

Tips For Dining at Disney Parks with Celiacs Disease

If you have Celiacs Disease, then you know going on vacation can be stressful having to plan around where and what you can eat. What you may not know is that Walt Disney World Resort is committed to offering a wide range of culinary and dietary options for all its Guests.

Many Disney restaurants now offer allergy-friendly menus to address various food intolerances including Celiacs, offering many gluten-free options — often with no advance arrangements!

In 2017 I was diagnosed with Celiac, I thought for sure my food adventure at Disney was coming to an end.

The first time I went to Disney after my diagnoses I was greeted by a very knowledgeable server at Cape May Café who knew exactly what accommodations needed to be made to allow to me enjoy a worry free meal. He walked me through the menu and then brought the chef out to chat with me about substitutions (what were the options?). This type of service encouraged me to write about conquering Disney with Celiac.

Some of my favorite gluten-free treats at Disney are the Mickey waffles (Found at quick service and table service restaurants), gluten-free beignets (found at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter) and the gluten-free Churro (found at the Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom)

With any allergy there are a few tricks you need to know before you go. If you have an allergy at this time you cannot pre-order your meal on My Disney Experience. If you are an adult sharing a plate with a child under 3 and that child has a food allergy, you will need to order your food to the child’s needs, without the allergen. Disney is extremely careful about cross contamination, so they will not serve a gluten-free waffle next to gluten containing items. When dining at a quick service location, I would suggest that you send one adult ahead of the party so they can start the order for the person with the food allergy. It takes additional time to prep and cook an allergen free meal, so keep this in mind while you are making FastPass+ reservations well. Your dining experience will be extended by at least 10 minutes in my experience.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, the food and beverage cast members take a course on food allergy safety. If all else fails they have a great big ol’ book of cheat sheets! A chef will greet you at your table and either escort you through the buffet or guide you through the menu, even at the resort food courts that will walk you through the options and explain the process of food substitutions.

When a guest with food allergies makes a reservation through Enchanted Kingdom Vacations a note is added to your file notating the allergy. Then your allergy is noted on each dining reservation your knowledgeable agent books for you. This makes sure your vacation is just as delightful and delicious as the rest of your family (how?). There are even allergy free cleaning products that will be used for your resort room during your stay! Even the H2O bath products are soy and gluten-free (yes, gluten is a common ingredient in shampoo).

Contact me today to set up your next magical vacation! When Dining at Disney you are in extremely safe and knowledgeable hands!
