Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations!
The winter season is right around the corner which means it’s time for sweater-weather. If you’re in the market for a new Disney sweatshirt, you’re in luck! We found 11 online that could really pull together your winter fit!
It’s HAPPENING! Disney’s Hollywood Studios is officially ready for Christmas!
Gertie the Dinosaur at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios starts later this week, on November 9th, and we’re so excited that the park is finally looking like Christmas. We were recently seeing stars along Sunset Boulevard, but we were waiting patiently for the iconic giant tree to appear. Well, now it has!
Okay, can we tell you how EXCITED we are about 2025 in Disney World? So much new stuff is coming and we CANNOT WAIT.
Magic Kingdom
Of course, we’ve got the traditional things we always look forward to like all the EPCOT Festivals (yes, EPCOT Festival of the Arts is a fave). We also love that time around Easter when we get to see the cool Easter Egg displays at the hotels. Then there’s Halloween and the holiday season — SO much to look forward to (and we’re not even done with 2024 yet). However, there are some MAJOR changes coming to Disney World in 2025 that we’re also stoked about, so let’s chat about them!
UPDATE: As of November 12th, Disney has paused sales for Magic Key Passes.
Magic Keys are BACK on sale… but ACT FAST!

Over the past several years, Disney has only sold new Magic Keys sporadically, with the offerings often selling out quickly. Magic Keys are Disneyland Resort’s current equivalent of an annual pass program, which provides “reservation-based admission to one or both Disneyland Resort theme parks.” Now, just as Disney is introducing the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass at the “Happiest Place on Earth,” they’ve also put Magic Keys BACK on sale!
It’s official! The holiday season has arrived in Disney World.
Disney Springs
We have to admit this time of year gets us SO excited. The Christmas decorations in Magic Kingdom are up and THEY ARE MAGICAL (that tree, y’all). We’ll soon get to attend the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights events of the year. However, what we’re most excited about — OF COURSE — are the snacks. Now, one such snack has popped up in Disney Springs, and we HAD to try it.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming up soon!
It’s that time of year!
This specially ticketed event is TONS of fun! There are exclusive treats and entertainment, free hot cocoa and cookies, fun meet-and-greets, and lots of attractions to enjoy. Disney has shared a list of all the rides that will be open during the holiday and party, and we were excited to see Magic Kingdom’s brand new ride on the list!
It’s TIIIIIME!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House
We’ve waited a whole year to see Disney World’s transformation for the holidays, and it’s finally starting to get real. While Magic Kingdom’s been busy decking the halls with wreaths, garlands, and Christmas decor we’ve had our eye out for a few other grand spectacles we’ve come to know and love. And now it seems that keeping an ever-so-close eye on some construction nearby has finally paid off for us in a sweet way! [Read more…]
Let the season of giving commence!

For over 75 years, the Walt Disney Company has had a close relationship with Toys for Tots. In fact, the Marine Corps charity’s iconic red train logo was designed by Disney animators! In furtherance of this relationship, Disney offers a Toys for Tots toy drive through their official web store each year!
Disney World is gearing up for the holidays!
