Here Are This Week’s Theme Park Highlights:
- Breaking news! We recently hopped on over to Epcot for the International Festival of the Holidays ... and new for 2018, there is now an official HOLIDAY COOKIE STROLL. That means you get rewarded for taking on the challenge of eating delicious cookies around World Showcase. This is just about my speed when it comes to holiday resolutions ;) Hop to our guide for details on that and the rest of this amazing festival.

- Ta-da! The 2019 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend medals have been revealed, and we are not disappointed. The lineup includes some super strong Disney women: Mulan, Jasmine, Aurora and Elena. (Psst ... this Frog may or may not be running the Disney Princess Half, so we're pretty in love with that PINK Aurora medal.)

We've been captivated by the dazzling lights, incredible shows, delicious food ... and let's be honest, the scrumptious spirits.
