Hiya Debbie! Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by!
There is nothing quite like a visit during the holiday season! The
Walt Disney World Resort transforms with festive decor and holiday displays across all the parks and Disney Resorts Hotels. There are special events to attend and holiday treats to try. The magic truly comes alive during this time of year!
Incorporating experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection into your stay is a fantastic idea.
Celebration at the Top - Sip, Savor, Sparkle is the perfect example of a magical experience you can have beyond the theme parks. While park tickets are not required for this event, you will still get a taste of the Magic Kingdom by viewing the nighttime spectacular from high atop Disney's Contemporary Resort. You can relax with an assortment of light bites accompanied by your favorite beverages while you enjoy the breathtaking views from the resort.
At this time, dates for later this year have not been released for this experience. Currently, a handful of select nights through March are being offered, but nothing past April is being shown at this point. You'll need to check back a few months before your arrival for more dates to be announced.
One thing to keep in mind is that for New Year's Eve,
California Grill at the Contemporary Resort typically holds a special event for this holiday evening. This past year was themed around Princess Tiana and was a full evening filled with various fine dining food offerings, an open bar, live music, and so much more. While there has not been an announcement if an event will take place this year, I highly expect some type of special experience to be in the works. I suggest following along with the
Disney Parks Blog for any news leading up to your visit.
Debbie, I hope you have a magical time planning for your holiday getaway!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney! We'll be happy to help!
