Hi there! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh my goodness,
the most wonderful time of the year will soon arrive at The Most Magical Place on Earth! Yay! There are so many holiday activities to enjoy at Walt Disney World during the festive season, so think of this planDisney answer as Santa's sleigh with lots of magical experiences that we are happy to share with you!
I noticed that you mentioned you'll be in town the week before Christmas, but your arrival date is just before Christmas. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is the premier event where Mickey hosts a special ticketed celebration featuring a Christmas parade, fireworks, complimentary cookies and cocoa, and plenty of festive surprises. This year, the party takes place from November 7th to December 21st. Tickets for this party are very popular, so if the dates align with your travel plans, you'll want to book early! Additionally, Disney Jollywood Nights is a jazzy, vintage, and glamorous event that will make you feel as if you've stepped into a Disney Christmas card. This special event runs from November 8th to December 22nd.
Now let's talk about one of my very favorite holiday offerings that you definitely won't want to miss: the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! I really hope you'll have the chance to enjoy this event. Included with your EPCOT admission, you can stroll through World Showcase, experiencing Christmas cultures from around the world and tasting foods from the Holiday Kitchens to sample holiday flavors from various countries. It's truly a culinary journey! My family's tradition is to participate in the Holiday Cookie Stroll, which even includes a delicious "gift" at the end!
Each of the theme parks has its own special magic. Magic Kingdom will be decked in holiday decor. At Hollywood Studios, Minnie Mouse celebrates the holidays with a festive dinner party! I recommend checking out the
Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine. This year's event runs from November 6th to January 4th. In EPCOT, you'll get to enjoy a favorite experience among us panelists: the
Living with the Land – Glimmering Greenhouses. At Animal Kingdom, don't miss the Merry Menagerie and the dazzling Tree of Life Awakenings - Holiday Edition! It's magical!
At
Disney Springs, you'll find holiday entertainment and everyone's favorite Christmas Tree Stroll. Even the Resort hotels deck the halls with gingerbread displays and the most beautiful Christmas trees that you won't want to miss! And we haven't even talked about all the oh-so-yummy holiday foods you'll find all through Walt Disney World!
You are in for a magical experience! Be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest information!
