Wait, wait…before you dust off that giant Thanksgiving table centerpiece, the Disney Parks Blog has something different this year. We’re switching it up with not one but four holiday centerpieces you can create at home.
Walt Disney World Florist Cindy Braak will walk you through the process starting with how “Oasis” in the bottom of a pot will keep the flowers hydrated. Here is the backstage video:
When creating the centerpieces, Braak says use one color of flower per arrangement — that’s for more impact. Also, make the centerpieces a day prior to your event. We’ll be trying it…how about you?
Forty six years ago this week, America lost its 35th president, John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is known to have visited Disneyland park only once, as Senator, in October 1959. He is shown here during that visit at the Main Street Station of the Disneyland Railroad with the President of Guinea, Ahmed Sékou Touré.
Searching through our archives, we also found this photo showing that Disneyland park closed its gates on November 23, 1963, in honor of the president.
Sure, carving a turkey can be intimidating — most of us only do it once or twice a year. But for chefs at Disney Parks, it’s routine. They’ll carve thousands of turkeys this holiday season and they’ll make it look easy.
To make sure you can pull it off, Walt Disney World executive chef Lenny DeGeorge is offering a quick how-to. He says start with the drumstick:
To safely carve your holiday turkey, it’s important to give yourself some room to operate and make sure you’re using a sharp knife, according to Chef Lenny. And he says if you get intimidated by carving the turkey in front of the family, there’s nothing to be ashamed about preparing it in the kitchen before bringing it to the table. Good luck.
We love surprises at Disney Parks and our latest involves Emmy Award-winning talk show host and supermodel Tyra Banks.
Earlier this week, Tyra surprised three young girls by announcing on “The Tyra Show” that she was sending them and their moms to Walt Disney World. Then, Tyra made a surprise appearance during their park [...]
This week, we featured several exclusives as well as some behind-the-scenes posts on the Disney Parks Blog. We celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the edible carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World and offered first video of the most sophisticated Audio-Animatronics Technology yet.
Something unique happens this time of year at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge – a ceremony performed in the lobby called the Blessing of the Four Directions. As you may know, November is National American Indian Heritage Month and every year visiting interpreters James Hansen (Black Wolf) and Anita Hansen (Quick Silver) perform a short ceremony, symbolically driving out negative energy and purifying the resort for the year ahead.
Something new is hitting the streets – the streets of the Downtown Disney District, that is. There’s a new urban-like shopping space opening in December, and I wanted to give you the details here on the Disney Parks Blog.
The edible carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World includes ponies made of chocolate and fondant, hand-painted chocolate “Fab Five” Disney characters surrounded by snowflakes on the side of gingerbread and giant candy cane poles.
We get questions all the time about what sort of wedding cake options we offer at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings. Disney-themed wedding cakes can come in a variety of styles, from classic to whimsical. These cakes fit many tastes, but one thing is guaranteed, they taste as good as they look!
In case you missed it, several celebrities competed in the pro-am portion of the PGA Tour’s Children’s Miracle Network Classic pro golf tournament at Walt Disney World Resort the other day.

Pierzynski (Chicago White Sox), Aaron Rowand (San Francisco Giants), Scott Phillips (drummer for the band Creed) and Anthony Bowie (former Orlando Magic player) on Disney’s famed Magnolia and Palm golf courses.
