Merry Christmas, Jimmy! One of the best things about being the Most Magical Place on Earth is being open just about every day of the year! That’s right! The Walt Disney World Resort and theme parks are open on Christmas Day! Not only are the theme parks open, but they usually have extended hours to enjoy the theme parks even longer during the holiday season! Please keep in mind that park hours are subject to change. The Disney Parks will sometimes close for cases of severe weather, or other unique circumstances, but other than that they are open for Guests to enjoy 365 days of the year!
The Christmas season is one of the most popular times for Guests to visit! The decorations throughout the resorts and the theme parks are enough to get everyone, including Uncle Scrooge McDuck, into the holiday spirit!
Another highlight of the Christmas season is
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park! This special ticketed event occurs on select evenings from early November through December! There is the special Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime parade as well as Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks show! You can even meet some of your favorite Disney characters dressed in their holiday finest! Of course, “St. Mick” also makes sure that good ole’ St. Nick makes an appearance during the parade as well!
Another holiday highlight is the Christmas Tree Stroll at
Disney Springs! Here you will find some of the most beautiful Christmas trees themed to some of your favorite Disney characters, attractions, and movies! This is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Jimmy, the December
hours for the four Disney theme parks won’t be released for several months, but as certain as Santa is making his flight on the night of December 24, the Disney Parks will be open for the holiday season and Christmas Day!
Dreams do come true!
