Halloween just wrapped up, which means two things: cooler weather and holiday celebrations! And boy, do we see it all around the parks!
People are breaking out those sweatshirts!
We’re at Disney World EVERY DAY trying food, finding new merchandise, keeping you up to date on all of the changes, and more, and while we’re here, we keep our eyes peeled for the latest things guests are doing. That includes what they wear, what they buy, and what they eat, and today, we’re sharing everything we’ve seen over the past week.
What People Are Wearing
The temperature in Orlando is starting to drop as the winter months come upon us, which is why we’ve been seeing a lot more guests wearing sweatshirts, and there are quite a few popular options.
Take A Look At This Classic Zip-Up Hoodie!
WDW Zip Hoodie
One we see all the time is the Walt Disney World Zip Hoodie! This sweatshirt features a puff-ink “D” on the front chest, with “Walt Disney World” in puff-ink lettering in the park’s classic font across the sleeves and back. You can find a variety of colors across the property, including black, blue, green, cream, and more!
This Collection Is EXTREMELY Popular

This Girls Crew Disney Icons Collection is so popular that it sells out in an instant when it’s in stock! In this collection, there is a necklace, bracelet, and ring. While you may find these pieces in stores at Disney World, you can grab the ring online now! This ring is plated with 18k gold and features the four icons of the Orlando parks: Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth in EPCOT, Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios, and the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom.
We’ve Seen This Next Collection A Lot Around The Parks

For people who are more into a pullover-style sweatshirt, this Women’s Walt Disney World Pullover Sweatshirt is a popular option. Like the zip-up, this sweatshirt comes in multiple colors. The front of the sweatshirt features appliqué lettering of the Walt Disney World logo in its classic font. It has dropped shoulders, raised seams, and side vents. “Authentic Original Est. 1971” and the Cinderella Castle are screen-printed below the logo.
What People Are Buying
Christmas is under two months away, which means people are getting into the holiday spirit and buying holiday merchandise! Here is a look at a couple of things we’re seeing FLY off the shelves at the parks!
These Plaid Ears Are A Must
Plaid Christmas Ears
The Minnie Mouse Plaid Ear Headband is THE go-to Christmas ears this season. This classic Minnie Mouse design features a red velvet bow accented with sparkling Mickey icon studs. These ears have a non-slip velour interior, so you don’t have to worry about them falling off your head while you wear them.
The Other Style Is Popular, Too!
Christmas Minnie Ears
Or you can grab the Minnie Mouse Fair Isle Holiday Ear Headband! This Minnie Mouse design features a red bow with green stripes. The ears are patterned with Fantasyland Castles, snowflakes, presents, holly, and Mickey Mouse icons. On the sides, you’ll find a green and red pattern for a final festive touch.
Don’t Forget About The Loungefly!

Of course, the Loungefly bags are going to be popular, too! This Santa Mickey Mouse Loungefly Crossbody Set is everyone’s favorite bag this holiday season. The zip bag is made with simulated leather and features a Santa Mickey appliqué against a festive scene of Christmas trees, gifts, and snowflakes complete with fluffy trim. It comes with a detachable red and white striped shoulder strap, which can be adjusted however you’d like it. And it comes with a Mickey icon coin purse, inspired by the popular red and white peppermint swirl candy.
What People Are Eating
It’s officially November, which means we’re in the last month of this year’s EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. Because it’s coming to an end soon, we’ve seen people constantly hitting up those food booths in hopes of trying everything before it’s gone! Every time we go to EPCOT lately, it seems like the festival booth lines are so much longer than anything else.
The Wedge Crowds
Also in EPCOT is the Canada Popcorn Cart, which serves the beloved Maple Popcorn. We’ve noticed this line is a lot longer than usual lately, but it’s for good reason — that popcorn is DELICIOUS! This cart is open from 11 AM to park close.
MAPLE POPCORN!
Finally, we’ve noticed a lot more people BRINGING their own lunch to the parks. This could be due to the recent price increases that hit property-wide. It definitely seems like we’re seeing more families bring bagged lunches and coolers than there used to be. If you do want to bring your own food to the parks, there are a couple of things to remember: You cannot bring loose ice; glass containers and jars are prohibited, and you cannot bring a cooler larger than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high into the parks.
