Hi there, Kimella! Welcome back to planDisney. There is nothing more magical than experiencing The Happiest Place on Earth during the holidays. There’s something about the smell of peppermint and gingerbread wafting through the air as you make your way down Main Street, U.S.A.
The
magic of the season officially begins on November 18, 2026. You’ll start to see hints of holiday joy in the form of snow-capped turrets on Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. Of course, my biggest weakness is when the holiday merchandise hits the floor. When I went to Oogie Boogie Bash last year on Halloween night, I found myself giddy with excitement when I saw Santa Mickey mugs and sweatshirts in the shops!
Most of all, my favorite thing to do during the holidays is grab an ornament from
Plaza Point and have it customized with the year. This is a little tradition my husband and I started when we first got married, and we’ve been adding to it every year since. It’s so sweet to see our collection grow as we bring them out each Christmas. If you plan to bring home this keepsake souvenir, my favorite tip is to go early because it does get busy! I like to go right when the park opens, and often it’s ready for pick-up by early afternoon.
Kimella, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. I am eagerly counting down the holiday season with you! Until then, be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all things holiday-related.
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
Bev
