food IS a theme park
Hello and welcome to your weekly Disney news wrap-up!
Disney says it’s the holiday season!
From all kinds of holiday news to a hotel opening, lots of things have happened in the Disney parks over the past few days. Let’s break down what you need to know right here.
We hope you’re feeling in the Christmas spirit this week!
Animal Kingdom Christmas
Disney World is certainly diving right into the holiday season. We’ve already seen decorations arrive in Magic Kingdom AND Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Before today, there were only a few baubles in Disney’s Animal Kingdom — but that’s ALL CHANGED.
It’s November, and that means that it’s officially time to start preparing for Christmas…well, at least according to Disney!

Decorations have started arriving in the theme parks and we’re itching to try out the new holiday snacks very soon. But if you can’t get to Disney World just yet, there’s quite a bit of holiday merchandise online to shop, including a very unique Christmas tree!
It’s finally November, which in Disney World, means the start of the holiday season!
The holidays are here!
After Halloween on October 31st, Cast Members worked overnight to transform Magic Kingdom into a Christmas-y wonderland, complete with a gigantic tree, wreaths down Main Street, U.S.A., and so much more. But, it seems that not every spot in Disney World got the holiday memo…because we’re living in a really weird Twilight Zone version of the parks right now!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Disney World!
Christmas Tree in Magic Kingdom!
Well, it’s actually been looking like Christmas since before Halloween, with some decorations going up in mid-October and new holiday merchandise being put out super early in stores. But, now that Halloween is over, we’re really going to see the decorating kick into high gear. We’ve already seen a holiday ride overlay start in EPCOT, festive decor go up in Animal Kingdom, and the Christmas tree go up in Magic Kingdom! And today, we saw another big part of the holidays arrive in Disney World!
Halloween may have just ended, and it’s very much still the middle of fall, but that isn’t stopping Disney from already celebrating the holidays!
Yep, these went up before Halloween
Disney World doesn’t mess around when it comes to the holiday season, with some decorations going up literal weeks before Halloween this year. There has also been new holiday merchandise spotted in the parks, the first Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours event is coming up soon, and we know about all the special holiday food coming to Disney this holiday season. Today, we spotted another reason to get excited for the season!
Disney World’s Haunted Mansion is an iconic part of Magic Kingdom.

Disneyland Resort is full of so much Disney history, but did you know that Walt Disney has a secret apartment in the Disneyland Park?
Disneyland Entrance
It’s on Main Street above Disneyland’s firehouse — Walt had it built during Disneyland’s construction so that he could watch his dream come to life! And despite most of Disneyland remaining closed throughout the holiday season, Walt’s Apartment still got a holiday makeover this year.
