food IS a theme park
Merry Christmas! Sort of? Disney’s celebrating the holidays a little early with a lot of news about the Christmas festivities that are coming to the parks this year!
Christmas at Magic Kingdom
Have you already read about the new after-hours holiday party at Disney World? And maybe the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays? There’s a returning event in Disney Springs that will also be making an appearance for the holidays!
The holiday season is coming up which means it’s just about time to get alllll our gift shopping done at Disney World.
Disney Springs
That means that we’ll be spending some serious time in Disney Springs. Now, to help out, Disney World has extended hours in Disney Springs for the holiday season!
We’ve been piecing together what Disney Springs will look like for the holidays this year.
Holiday Decorations
We already heard that we can expect some fun decorations like snowfall and Christmas Trees, and word from the North Pole is that Santa is cruising down for the occasion too! Now, we know more about the entertainment we’ll see!
Typically, Mickey is the most famous guy around but that all changes during the Christmas season. That’s when SANTA becomes our favorite fella in the parks!
Santa Clause
This year there are lots of changes to how Christmas is going to look at Disney World, but we do know that some holiday cheer will be coming to Disney Springs. Now, we know that the big guy will be coming too, and he’s trading in his sleigh for a BOAT!
Disney just recently announced that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom and this year’s Candlelight Processional in EPCOT will be canceled.
Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail
But, some holiday events, like the International Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT, will still be offered this year. Now, we’ve got some more details about what holiday decorations and special offerings you’ll be able to find this year in Disney Springs.
