Never Too Early to Start Thinking About the Holiday Season

September 19, 2008
It is never too early to start thinking about the holiday season in Orlando, especially when it comes to Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World offers tons of options for families to celebrate the holiday season, starting as early as November! All of the main Disney parks, surrounding resorts, and shopping areas are getting into the holiday spirit and you are invited to join in on all of the fun.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, kicks off all of the fun on November 10th. Running until December 19th, on select nights only, you can join in by celebrating the joys of Christmas with all of your favorite Disney characters. Mickey and all of his friends will be throughout the park celebrating the holiday season in their most festive attire. There will be great stage shows, a Holiday Wishes firework display, special activities, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, complimentary hot cocoa and cookies, and, don’t forget, all of the great Magic Kingdom attractions. Admission to this event requires a separate ticket from the Magic Kingdom admission.

At Epcot, celebrate the Holidays Around the World! Recognizing all of the fantastic cultures, customs, food, and traditions of countries around the world, you can expand your horizons and learn about all of the great celebrations of the holiday season. There is also a nightly candlelight processional at the American Gardens Theatre, where guests can listen to the retelling of the Christmas Story by a celebrity narrator, 50 piece orchestra, and mass choir. To top off the night walk through the Lights of Winter and watch a holiday themed rendition of IllumiNations: Reflection of Earth. Holidays Around the World will run from November 28th to December 30th.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios celebrates the holiday spirit with the Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights.

Make sure to stop by Camp Minnie-Mickey and the Oasis to meet all of your favorite characters dressed up in their holiday best! Also, make sure to stop by Santa Goofy’s Wild Wonderland!

Not only in the parks can you find all of the excitement of the holidays, but at Downtown Disney and throughout the Disney Resorts as well!
