food IS a theme park
The holiday season in Orlando theme parks usually starts pretty early (like a day or two after Halloween).
Holidays in Disney World
The holiday decorations are usually up before Halloween is even over. (Yes, really.) The holiday snacks come out, and the holiday parties begin shortly after Halloween. But do you know when the holidays actually END at Orlando theme parks? Well, we’re warning you that it’s SOON.
Get ready to jingle all the way down Sunset Boulevard, because the holidays have arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
We’ve seen bits and pieces of decor pop up here and there, but it’s not officially the holiday season in this park until one very important decoration goes up. Well, friends, we’re happy to report that the time has finally come — come check it out with us!
It’s almost time for the New Year!
New Year’s Eve Crowds in 2021!
It might not technically even be Christmas yet but Disney is already celebrating the New Year. They released a new pair of 2023 Ears recently, tons of 2023-inspired merchandise, and they’ve announced new nighttime shows coming next year. Recently, while we were in EPCOT — we found another way Disney is prepping for the New Year and we think it looks like tons of fun!
Disney World is turning into a winter wonderland one day at a time, and we’re tracking all the progress!
Christmas tree!
We saw the first holiday decorations arrive in Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT before Halloween even happened, and then on November 1st, it was ON in Magic Kingdom. Shortly after, the Christmas tree arrived in Magic Kingdom…and now we’ve got our second big Christmas tree of the season!
It’s November, and there’s a LOT going on in Disney World this month!
Animal Kingdom
Between holiday celebrations, EPCOT festivals, new merchandise, and a BUNCH of new snacks…there are SO many things to see and do in the second to last month of the year. But what are the big ones? We’re breaking down the things you need to know about Disney World in November!
The holidays are a VERY popular time to visit Disney World!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! (Bonus points if you sang that in your head.)
When kids are out of school, the parks are typically busy, but add in those stunning decorations, limited-time snacks, and special offerings, and guests just seem to flock to the parks. One of the biggest draws for the holiday season is the holiday party — in 2019 and prior, it was Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, although it was replaced with Disney Very Merriest After Hours last year. Will the original party be coming back in 2022? Disney hasn’t announced yet, but we’ve got a pretty good guess.
We’ve been getting ready for the holidays with all kinds of mugs, pins, and more from Disney World.
Holiday Mugs
Oh, and we got our own personal SNOAP machine! But, more snoap is on the way. It looks like Disney is getting Disney Springs ready for even more holiday fun as we saw some SNOAP machines are starting to be installed!
