Merry Christmas, Luke! I love being at
Walt Disney World Resort when they haul out the holly and deck the halls. It might not be a white Christmas, but the magic of the season, a sprinkle of Pixie Dust, and you have the holiday of my dreams.
The closest option for Catholic mass for Christmas services is Mary, Queen of the Universe Basilica and National Shrine. This church is at 8300 Vineland Avenue, about two miles from Walt Disney World.
They have Christmas Eve Mass on Tuesday at 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. and Christmas Mass on Wednesday at 8 a.m., 10 a.m. and 12 noon. They also have a link to view a live stream of their services. I know you can't take Communion virtually, but I'm letting you know if watching online is your only option.
I hope you have time to head to
EPCOT for the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Seeing Christmas traditions from around the world is so special. The Candlelight Processional is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the holiday. Hearing the story of Jesus's birth with a 50-piece orchestra... is not just a show; it's an experience.
I hope you have a holly, jolly holiday, Luke. If you have any other questions, please come see us again at
planDisney.
And as Linus declares in one of my other favorite Christmas traditions, "Glory to God in the highest. And on Earth, peace and goodwill toward men!"
Happy Holidays!
