Hi Jacki,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
It's wonderful you're getting to enjoy the spirit of the Christmas season at Walt Disney World! It's even more fun to hear you're planing to take in the merry festivities at the
Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. Touring Epcot during Christmastime is one of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit. I especially always love experiencing the beautiful
Candlelight Processional.
You can
check the online Park Hours calendar to see schedules for the theme parks, parades, special events like Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, and nighttime spectaculars like
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays shows scheduling from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. for your visit. The
Holiday Kitchens are scheduled to be open from noon until 8 p.m. Checking with the Disney's Guest Services Team to confirm hours, I did learn that sometimes the Holiday Kitchens might be kept open an extra hour until 9 p.m. Keep in mind that schedules can change, so it's a good idea to double-check while you're there to see if they'll be open for that extended hour. All the menus at the Holiday Kitchens sound simply delicious! You're certain to enjoy lots of festive flavors as you make your way merrily around World Showcase.
Jacki, here's wishing you a most magical stay at Walt Disney World!
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
