Hey there, Daphne! Welcome to planDisney.
Oh my garland, Daphne! You’re about to have a
once upon a time, holly jolly holiday! I bet you're making a packing list and checking it twice, because you’re visiting the most magical mice! It sounds like you’re also creating a checklist for your must-do magical experiences. How fun! It looks like you already have a “fantasmic” list in the works, and I’m happy to help you add a few more festive and fun experiences.
Let’s start in Magic Kingdom! You’ll be happy to know that Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is scheduled to run each day of your visit at 12:00pm and 3:00pm. You definitely won’t want to miss this magical holiday event! And Daphne, the festive fun doesn’t stop there! Get ready to tap your toes to familiar Christmas songs, because Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks (my very favorite holiday offering) will be lighting up the sky each night of your trip at 8:30pm. I know you’ll love it! And be sure to also check out the brand new nighttime parade,
Disney Starlight!Next stop on our planDisney sleigh ride is EPCOT! Since you mentioned going “around the world,” it sounds like you’re interested in the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! Not only can you explore holiday traditions from around the globe, but you can also taste all the delicious foods found at the Holiday Kitchens. Daphne, I’m actually flying high in the sky like Santa as I write to you, because I’m making my way to Walt Disney World to the Festival of the Holidays myself, and I can’t wait to enjoy the
Liquid Nitrogen Chocolate-Peppermint Mousse—yum! Be sure to also check out the Holiday Cookie Stroll,
Living with the Land – Glimmering Greenhouses, and don’t forget to pay a visit to Santa! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is, in my opinion, the best ride in the universe, so make sure to take a little time to save the galaxy!
At Animal Kingdom, besides amazing attractions like Avatar Flight of Passage and the new Zootopia attraction, you’ll find holiday offerings like the entertaining Merry Menagerie and the breathtaking
Tree of Life Awakenings! Daphne, you’ve picked out some amazing things to do! If you have extra time, Disney’s Hollywood Studios offers Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge,
Disney Springs features holiday entertainment and festive foods, and it’s always super fun to visit some of the Resort hotels to admire their holiday decorations and
TREE-mendous Christmas trees!
One final helpful tip: Be sure to check your
My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date schedules, and take advantage of
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering during the busy Christmas season.
I hope this information helps, and I’m wishing on a Christmas star that you and your daughter will have the most magical time. Let us know if we can help with anything else.
Happy holidays!
