It was so fun to see you in the park today. My wife was REALLY excited to see you. Thank you for stopping and taking a picture, it really shows how much your fans matter to you.

I love Lisa’s videos! She’s always on top of things. I appreciate how she’s the first to show new food and merch at the parks. 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gigi_K]

Hi Lisa! Thank you very much for trying all of this food for us especially for those of us that won’t get to try it 😫 I am super happy I get to experience it through you 🤗😋 I hope you’re having a magical 💫 night 😉💕

[@Lisaoflisaland]

I can’t wait to try alllll the holiday food, Disney always gives us sooo many options for the holidays! The holidays really aren’t complete without some Disney magic! I hope you are getting ready for an awesome and relaxing weekend 💗✨

[@luvadventuresandart]

Yea, thanks Lisa for this preview 😊. We are headed to Anaheim in the morning 🎉. I'm so excited for our first Disneyland Christmas 🎄. It's supposed to rain on Wed, Thursday, and Friday next week, but that won't stop us!

[@majingothbuuts]

We’ll be there too on Wednesday-Fri! Rain won’t stop us either 🤣

[@jennifermisa-bringas3493]

It was nice meeting you that day Lisa!! Sorry for calling out “Lisaland!!”😂 But hey..it got your attention! Thanks for all the great videos so I know what to look out for and also what foods to try and not try at the festival of holidays! Keep up the great content!!💜

[@wendyread1183]

The description of the new holiday cold brew at Pym's sounds pretty awesome .. .

[@Lisaoflisaland]

I agree! I can’t wait to try that one!

[@QuiteFrank14]

I miss the festival of holidays food! Everything looks good and interesting.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Festival of Holidays is one of my favorites!! I can’t wait to try out some of the food that will be at the quick-service locations and carts in DCA, the foodie guide had some good choices!

[@kareemarhodes1740]

Thank you, Lisa, you brighten up my day!!😊 And Yay to Milk and Cookies!!!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Aw reading this brightens my day so thank you 🥹🥹💗

[@AussieAngeS]

Hi Lisa the Mac n Cheese looks so delicious, nice and creamy! The chocolate tart with twix would definitely be my favourite of all, yum!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

The tart was so yummy!! The caramel and chocolate had the most delicious flavor and gooey texture! 🤩🎄

[@natalieexpopoca]

Yayyy, another Disney vlog 😍😍😍 I really enjoy watching your videos, especially after a hard day at work, keep on shining bright Lisa 😄✨️💕

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Thank you!!! You keep shining bright too girly 💗✨✨

[@CaitlinLyaneLeman]

Lisa! It was so nice to meet you yesterday. Thank you so much for talking with my husband and I for so long. We just got home and were so excited to see your video! Love you and keep up the wonderful videos!!!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Awww it was so so nice chatting with you guys!! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip and got some treats to take home! 🤩 hopefully I will catch you on another visit!

[@lembochiproductions6957]

Definitely loving the food vlogs Lisa, so awesome to give us your recommendations on these Disney dishes.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Food days are the best days!!

[@wingsovermikey]

I don’t care for the alcohol most of the booths listed, so my future choices were pretty much what you tried, and when you said, “It's not the worst thing I ever tried,” for most dishes, it sums it up for me and will save me from the disappointments. I don't know where you put all that food, but thank you for taking it for the team. The festival seemed better last year!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

I 100% agree, the festival seemed better last year!! But they did switch things up on us so now it’s less food, more alcohol at the booths but they did add festival food at quick-service locations so I’m looking forward to checking those things out! I think the booths would be a blast if you are looking to try tasty cocktails, but I wish there were more good snacks!

[@wingsovermikey]

@@Lisaoflisaland We tried the pasty melt yesterday, and you are so right! It is so delicious, and we will be going back often. Thank you for recommending it.

[@larissemendes9748]

I'm so excited for the holiday food! It looks so good!

[@connielovesdisney8460]

Hi ! Thanks for trying the new foods. I might have to revamp my list after seeing your video. I agree, 3 Mac n cheese snacks are too many. I’m not into drinking at the parks but I do appreciate you trying the alcohol drinks. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I’ll see you on Friday. I’ll be there too.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

I hope I’ll see you tomorrow, Connie!!! It’s been too long!! 💗💗💗

[@tbx59]

Looking forward to the Christmas decorations - got a couple reservations with my Socal riff-raff pass before I get locked out.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

The socal pass is the best pass!!! I think the value is amazing and the blocked out dates are usually the most miserable time to be there anyway…the peak of summer heat and then Christmas crowds! Although I do love that you called it the riff raff pass 😂😂😂

[@lorielovesbooks7315]

I wish I had those ears you make them so beautiful. Glad you had fun with tasty food. 🎄🎀🎁

[@PinkLove7749]

Thanks Lisa for being your whole self , my bf and I love your videos you crack us up and we visit Disney all the time so it’s nice to see what new options we have for food. Love your videos!! ❤

[@Jayce71]

Yay Lisa food stuff woooo! :)

[@cherryvolt4565]

I love your nail color! ❤

[@mozimzim]

So much food. Always look forward to your videos! By the way I'm really digging your hair color! Those highlights! I need to take a pic and have my stylist copy. Really compliments you!! Love it!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Oh wow, thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@michaelminard8949]

I’m always so much more knowledgeable after watching your vlogs. Excited for the Festival and can’t wait to check them out. You’re the best, thank you!!!!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

I can’t wait for you to go and enjoy the food and drinks!! They’ll have sip n savor passes available starting tomorrow, so if you’re planning on getting a good handful of food items and non-alcoholic beverages, I’d definitely pick that up!

[@michaelminard8949]

@@Lisaoflisaland Thank you sweetie!!

[@dem_bears]

The 3rd best festival at DCA. My #1 is the Lunar New Year festival & my 2nd favorite is the Food & Wine Festival. I can’t wait to try the food at the festival and see what merch they have. I miss the Festival of the Holidays at Epcot because you get to see all the different Santas from almost each country. I can’t wait to see a video of Lisa visiting WDW. It’s going to be very magical. Have you ever been to WDW, Lisa? If not then you are going to love it. ❤💗🫶🏻🤗

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Lunar New Year is my favorite festival too!!! It breaks my heart that it is the shortest but that just means I always take the time to explore whenever I can…see the parade, meet the characters, try the food…I can’t wait for it this year! I’ve been to WDW in the past, but my heart really is with Disneyland!

[@dylanbooth4018]

Awesome Lisa I’m looking forward to the holidays too 👍

[@bonniebc9]

Thank you for sharing Lisa !!! I’ll be there tomorrow and I’m going to try a couple of things you liked 😊🎄

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Ooooh yay!! The first day of any of the events is always so much fun, I hope you have the best time ever!!

[@HaleyFlood-fo1ll]

Mmmm. That tart looked delicious. Nice and ooey gooey inside. Also the guava drink hit my fancy. So fun to share holiday treats with you. ❤

[@Pat-0623]

Excited about Christmas and seeing the tree at Disneyland. Once when I was a kid I dragged home many christmas trees on my block after christmas. All sizes. I couldnt believe they were thrown out. I think I did the right thing

[@francescamerica4098]

Great video Lisa, I can't wait to try the Peppermint Churro 😍 Plus the Thanksgiving sandwich from Jolly Holiday 😋 I think I might get Peppermint Ice cream 🍦 from Gibson Girl.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

YUMMMM all of those are amazing! I have a soft spot for the peppermint ice cream, it’s always a must-have for me every single year and it’s not Christmas without it!

[@buyitpc]

Saw you at the Mad Santa Cookie, we talked... was the one dressed in Star Wars Gear! Also as a recap, saw you in the Pickup of Disney - and my wife met you last January.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Nice to see you again!!! I hope you enjoyed your pumpkin cheesecake, I didn’t get it this time but it is a must the next time I’m at the festival!

[@buyitpc]

Truly did enjoy it, the only thing I did try as I have a sinus infection and had to leave for some antibiotics and didn't have much of an appetite!!! It was seriously happy to see you again and loved the video. My wife missed you - but there's always the next time! Enjoy the festival! @@Lisaoflisaland

[@ju138]

[@SEAclub007]

Let's go, Lisa! Yum! 😋

[@Lisaoflisaland]

Nothing beats a day of food at Disney!!

[@ashleytav]

Oo I cant wait to try the hot butter rum! I'm still not sure on foods I want to try on my short couple of days there.. there's not enough time for all the foods! Lol I'm sad they're taking away that butterscotch cold brew before I come because that sounded so yummy! But I'm sure I will find something else! ❤ can't wait to see the next one!

[@Lisaoflisaland]

I think the butterscotch cold brew *might* be sticking around, I am crossing my fingers! We should get them together on your visit!!!!

[@ashleytav]

@Lisaoflisaland I am down for that! I cannot wait!! ❤️🌲☃️❄️

[@patobantan420]

I saw you , I'm a lead at the festival, I was at Favorite Things, where you got the cold brew and maccarron

Love the new nails and that they match the Lassi perfectly 🤩

[@ginnyisley3329]

Hi 👋 I hope you are doing well ☺️ and that everything is going well for you 😊 and that you're having a happy week and a happy Thursday and a happy night 🌉😴. Also happy early holidays to you 😊. Sorry I don't celebrate the holidays I have never really celebrated them sorry 😔. But I do love the fall 🍁🍂 and some of the stuff that comes out in the fall 🍁. I also love some of the stuff that comes out in the winter ☃️❄️. Sorry I don't drink alcoholic drinks cuz I don't like alcohol at all I'm not a drinker sorry 😔 it's okay if other people like it but it's not for me sorry 😔. I also hope all the food was all you were hoping for.

[@ginnyisley3329]

Thanks for liking my comment 🙂.

[@christinaorejel3535]

The Twix Tart was different by it was a Bourbon Flavored Ganache. This year it’s Mousse- no Bourbon Flavor

[@Lisaoflisaland]

That’s right! I feel like this year it was better!

[@Kensie122]

Love your videos 💖 drop a makeup routine 🥰

[@amyanderson8018]

Hi Lisa, The food looks amazing. I look forward to your picks and reviews. Thanks for all you do. Have you ever tried. Mango Laasi?

[@Alamuzik]

With all the new Holiday foods available, my problem is which should I try with the limited time I’m there in a couple weeks. Wish they would offer small sample sizes for sale.

[@Lisaoflisaland]

The best way to sample is to split dishes with other people so you just get a little tasting instead of a full meal! But when in doubt, get the good old standbys that they bring back every year because those are usually the best bets! I hope you have an amazing time when you go 🌟🎄

Hi my holiday Qu👑👑n. 💜💜😘😘

Hellooooo!! 🤩🤩

Hi Lisaland how the Jolly of Disneyland doing?

It’s like Disneyland but bigger 🏰💜🍂🥰

For the guava melon lassi, do you think they'll keep it on the menu since rock melon (cantelope) is having a salmonella outbreak rn? I mean it's a syrup and may be artificial so idk

[@peggyhoward3187]

Does festival food stay all month through holidays

[@Lisaoflisaland]

It stays throughout the entire holiday season which is from November 10 to January 7!

[@KarateKim]

Lisa…. No beer slush. Trust me… yuck. Stick with the hot buttered rum instead. It even sounds comfy and buzzy. Thanks for all the food honest reviews. And your ears are cute… as always. ❤

[@Lisaoflisaland]

My curiosity might get the best of me and I might just have to try that beer slush one day 😂 but mmmm the hot buttered rum! I wish I could have one right now!!

[@maybenotmelissa]

After paradise garden grill had an ENTIRELY vegan menu this past year, I’m so disappointed by the glaring lack of vegan food at the festival of holidays this year.

[@ACloserLookAtLife]

Seems like kind of a strike out this year

[@ktru4474]

Luv your videos. Ur awesome. Never boring. Straight to the point. I see most of the time... walking around the parks. Don't want to bother...when ur recording. I might invite you somewhere to eat...j/k. 😂. Anyways keep the videos coming. Hopefully one day you can do a Q&A... would you be great.
