Hi John,
The holiday season at Disney World is extra magical. There are so many wonderful events, decorations galore, and food options that will get you in the holiday spirit! We also love visiting during this time of year because the weather is so nice.
Disney World Vacation Packages and Disney Resort hotel stays can currently only be booked through October 2025. Unfortunately, historical information does not help us to predict when these dates will open. This is the first year where January through October were released earlier than usual in February of 2024. In the past, the entire next year of bookings was released in late summer. With that as a guide, I would expect November and December of 2025 to be released soon but there has not been any official word yet. I would keep an eye on the
Official Disney Parks Blog for news related to when these dates will be released.
When planning your holiday vacation to Disney World make sure to budget for some of the fabulous events that happen only during this time.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a must-do experience. The special fireworks show, Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, and the snow on Main Street make this event the perfect way to ring in the holidays. We also love the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays for a glimpse into how people all over the world celebrate this magical time of year. This festival at EPCOT is included with admission but there are food booths located throughout the theme park with so many wonderful treats to try that it deserves a little bit of budget! We also like to book a dining package that includes reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional. This is an emotional retelling of the classic Christmas story featuring celebrity narrators, a choir, and 50 piece orchestra!
Happy Planning,
Jenna
