Welcome to a new edition! This week it’s all about switchover week and Christmas launch, but we also talked about Doomsday, Sky Swings and more. Let’s go!
Christmas is Here
And with a little touch of magic – aka 5 nights of work – it’s Christmas.
This year we’re getting some new garland designs with red ribbons and a modified lighting packaged, more subdued. Less is more seems to be the trend worn seasonal decorations lately.
Seasonal decor has returned as usual to Main Street Station, Town Square and Central Plaza. We didn’t get a new Christmas Tree this year, maybe next year then..
There’s a bit of switching around on Castle Stage with a new arrangement and some new props. Tinker Bell will likely appear from Dec 1 to absolutely not open the advent calendar, just dancing around it.
Official Partner Lavazza is expanding its footprint with a. We photo location in Fantasyland.
In the evenings, Main Street comes to life with the return of the themed projection sequences.
It’s also Christmas in the Disney Hotels, like here at the Disneyland Hotel which again this year offers an interactive holiday entertainment programme.
In the entertainment category, it’s the return of the ever cheery “let’s sing Christmas” at Videopolis.
The extra Christmas Parade shift is also back on Central Plaza ..
And of course the fantastic Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade!
But that’s not all, this year we also welcome Anna and Elsa in their holiday outfits, with Olaf and the Arendelle Carolers, for the first holiday season at World Of Frozen.
Santa’s got new digs this year in a beautifully themed workshop inside Disney Clothiers on Main Street. A much better fit than Videopolis!
Hi Santa, well done!
With the Videopolis arcade freed up, Stitch has moved in, in his Santa outfit of course. It all makes more sense.
Disney Friends across the lands are also ready to welcome Guests in their holiday outfits, from Santa Goody in Frontierland to Belle in Fantasyland and Chip and Dale near Meet Mickey.
At Hyperion Cafe this year we’ve got the disappointing Christmas Burger as usual and a new hard shell mousse dessert.
At least it’s got a themed wrapper.
The quick service dessert is super cute. It’s hard to break open but once you do the mousse is what you’d expect from these types of desserts. It doesn’t have a ton of flavor but it’s not offensive.
The non burger option this year is at Chalet de la Marionette. It’s Christmas chicken lol.
It’s pretty good even tho there aren’t many potatoes. The dessert suffers from the same problem as the other quick-service dessert, it’s cute but bland. We also tried one of the Lavazza pear coffee drinks. It was – a choice.
There’s a whole menu for them. They do not come in these nice glasses.
At the Lucky Nugget we miss the turkey dinner but the burger and the cheese fries fair pretty well.
The dessert has a mini Yule Log cake in the middle of the sundae – why not – it’s also decent. But not why not have a nice piece of cake, learn from the UNlucky Nugget..
World Of Frozen also has a special menu at Nordic Crowns.
Overall it’s actually a pretty tasty option, and it’s nice to get a new dessert in this location.
Ok snacks! The good the bad and the ugly. Well they’re all pretty cute. The chocolate choix is big and original. The Pluto donut is great. The new Mickey-shaped cinnamon roll is dividing the team: it’s fun but not the best dough quality.
At Victoria’s this year it’s the “holiday cabin” cake to share. It’s a similar style as most of their cakes, looks and tastes great!
So, Disney Enchanted Christmas 2026: a strong popular and magical season as always, continuing to build on a the strong fondation with notably a lovely new Santa location and new offerings at World Of Frozen. Happy Holidays!
Doomsday
With the next Marvel cinematic release upon us, the themed food has been deployed to Disney Adventure World.
The Hollywood Gardens menu is a disaster especially at that price. The burger is average, the donut is terrible with little filling, blurry food printing and not even the correct color.
Things get better at Stark Factory. The pizza is a big random mix especially with the broccoli but it works and it’s quite nice. The dessert also works with a nice design and nice flavors including real pistachios.
Doomsday food extends to the FAN-tastic food truck with hotdogs in green buns. They’re also good even though it begs the questions of – does EVERYTHING need Doritos stuffed in it.
More synergy operations are expected at Avengers Campus especially with entertainment.
Sky Swings
From lifting into place to installation. This week a lot of progress has been made on the Sky Swings carrousel structure with several stages of testing and the installation of the balloon-themed casing.
The attraction is maybe “basic” but it is receiving a lot of lovely theming and details that give us hope for an all around lovely little feature for Adventure Way.
