    Hi there! I have a Disney world trip planned for November 30-December 7 2025. Is this going to be a good time to go still? Or should I move my trip to arriving on the Tuesday 2nd & staying till December 10th or 11th?

    Hiya Laurel! 

    I'm so excited to welcome you to planDisney with your planning question! You're considering visiting Walt Disney World Resort during one of my absolute favorite times of the year -- the magical holiday season! The parks and resorts are transformed into winter wonderlands, filled with sparkling decorations, festive music, and an extra dose of Disney magic that makes this time of the year truly unforgettable. 

    Both of these date ranges provide the opportunity to experience all the incredible holiday offerings at Disney World. However, based on my experience, the closer you get to Christmas, the more the crowds tend to increase. While the magic is undeniable no matter when you visit, earlier dates typically offer a more relaxed atmosphere with shorter wait times, making it easier to soak in all the holiday magic without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. 

    EPCOT'S International Festival of the Holidays will likely be in full swing during your visit, offering a truly immersive holiday experience. This festival brings the World Showcase to life with diverse holiday traditions and celebrations from around the globe.

    Additionally, you can experience the Candlelight Processional, a heartwarming event where a celebrity narrator tells the story of Christmas, beautifully accompanied by a full choir and orchestra, creating an unforgettable holiday atmosphere. Here's a tip: to make your experience even more special, consider booking the Candlelight Processional Dining Package. This package allows you to enjoy a delicious meal at select EPCOT restaurants, and in return, you'll receive reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional, ensuring you don't miss out on this popular event during your visit. 

    Laurel, as Captain America says, "I can do this all day," when talking about the holidays at Disney World! Feel free to reach out again with any other questions you might have -- I'm happy to help!

    Magic and memories,
