Hi Aaron,
Welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to hear that you are visiting during my favorite time of year - the
Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort! You will be happy to know that the holiday decorations should be up! The
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Presented by AdventHealth officially ends on December 30th, however, in years past when we have visited, the holiday decorations have remained up for the first few days of January.
Looking at your dates, I suggest that you keep an eye out for the release of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays
Candlelight Processional Dining Packages. Take a look at the
Candlelight Processional Narrators for 2023. My girls and I absolutely love this show. We prefer one of the earlier shows just in case the weather is chilly.
While the decorations in the parks have been up during early January in prior years, I will say that the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels are also beautifully decorated but we have witnessed cast members taking down some of those decorations at the resort hotels in early January. So, the good news is that you are arriving just in time!
Aaron, as you continue to plan for your visit, keep in mind that you are travelling at a busy time of year. I recommend making
advanced dining reservations. We love to see all of the characters dressed in their holiday gear so be sure to plan a few
character meals. I am sending a little extra pixie dust trusting that you will enjoy the holiday spirit during your trip. It truly is a special time of year to visit!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
