It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Before we know it, it will be 2022! But until then, we’ll continue to keep an eye on all things 2021 at Disney World, like what’s been going on at the hotels (which are all decorated so beautifully this time of year). So let’s get on with the latest updates!

Saratoga Springs Food Updates

Artist’s Palette

We had a chance to try out the new Peppermint Mousse and although it tasted great, the texture really threw us off. And once we looked at the inside…um…well…it didn’t look appetizing. However, before we bit into it, we found it to be a very pretty snack!

It’s pretty, right?

But you may want to try it for yourself if you love peppermint — it’s available now for $5.99.
