There are SO many ways to celebrate the holidays in Orlando!
Holidays in Magic Kingdom
You could head to Disney World and check out Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Jollywood Nights, as well as a variety of free offerings in Disney Springs and at the resorts. Or maybe you want to go to Universal Orlando and check out their holiday parade and seasonal celebrations? All of those things are plenty of fun, but while you’re in the area, there’s one more holiday offering that we encourage you to check out.
Don’t miss out on your chance to win a MAJOR Disney World bucket list experience!
Cinderella Castle
Did you know that there’s an ultra-exclusive Castle Suite located INSIDE Cinderella Castle?? But this swanky spot isn’t your typical Disney World hotel room — you can’t just book a stay in this suite! In the past, guests have had the chance to win a stay by donating to a good cause or catch a glimpse of it by paying for a pricey tour. And if sleeping right in the middle of Magic Kingdom sounds like a dream come true, you won’t want to miss your chance to win a rare stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite!
Disney World has some pretty incredible hotel rooms, but there’s one that stands out above the rest.
Magic Kingdom
The incredibly exclusive Castle Suite, located INSIDE Cinderella Castle, is not even a room you can typically pay to book. In the past, people could win a stay by donating to a good cause or maybe catch a glimpse by paying for a pricey tour. Well, if you’ve always dreamed of staying inside this unique room, there’s a big update you need to know about!

But you should make room in your holiday itinerary for something else in the area, too — the Give Kids The World’s Night of A Million Lights
Give Kids the World’s Night of a Million Lights was named the “Number One Thing to Do in December in Orlando” by USA Today back in 2020. And if you love Christmas lights, it might be a must-do for you!
Night of a Million Lights
This event typically allows guests to stroll through a village full of Christmas lights with all kinds of impressive displays (all while helping kiddos in need). Though it had been previously announced that Night of a Million Lights would NOT be returning this year, it seems plans have changed! [Read more…]
Disney is no stranger to working with charities.
Magic Kingdom
The company has long been a supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and even has a non-profit resort called Give Kids The World Village, that provides cost-free Disney World vacations for kids battling critical illnesses, as well as their families. With September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a teddy bear is going on a trip with a few of these kids to spread the word about children battling cancer.
The Halloween season may have just started, but is it too early to be thinking about the holidays?
Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations
Disney’s already confirmed that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will be returning this year to Magic Kingdom, as well as the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Over on the west coast, we already know so many details about Disney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays, too! Amidst all of the happy news of returning holiday offerings, one festive attraction recently announced it will not be returning this year.
Have you ever looked down at the coins scattered in the water on “it’s a small world” or Pirates of the Caribbean, or maybe even at Cinderella’s Wishing Well, and thought about how there’s likely a small fortune living just outside of reach in the parks? Well, what you may not know is that they don’t go to waste!
Cinderella’s Wishing Well in Magic Kingdom
Periodically, Disney collects the coins out of the many places guests toss them and totals it all up to then make a donation to a charity! In the past, Disney has given to charities like Give Kids The World Village, which is a non-profit resort that works with The Make-A-Wish Foundation to provide cost-free Disney World vacations for children battling critical illnesses, along with their families. In November of 2020, Disney was able to donate $20,000 (!!) in coins from its wishing wells and fountains and in 2022 that number is even BIGGER!
