In a few weeks school will be back in session and the next major holiday will be a wintery one. For a pixie dust filled holiday, your best bet is to head to Walt Disney World when the weather gets cold in your neck of the woods.
Here’s what to expect for Holiday Celebrations:
Magic Kingdom
Celebrate the magic of the season at Walt Disney World with returning favorites. Making its return for the 2nd year is “A Frozen Holiday Wish” castle lighting show. Also returning is the Jingle Cruise holiday makeover of the Jungle cruise, which should be all the more fun in its third year.
Here’s video of last year’s “A Frozen Holiday Wish”:
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will host 20 yuletide filled nights from Nov 8 through Dec 18. Beginning at 7 p.m. (after regular park hours), guests with special event tickets can enjoy the spectacular holiday splendor, along with complimentary cookies and hot cocoa, and snow flurries on Main Street, U.S.A. Special holiday entertainment during the event includes Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!

Walt Disney World Resort Hotels
All Walt Disney World resorts shine brightly with merry décor during the holiday season. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is a favorite holiday stop with its 16-foot-high Victorian gingerbread house located in the lobby. Disney’s Beach Club Resort hosts an incredible gingerbread carousel display, accompanied by the sweet smell of Christmas treats wafting through the entryway. Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Boardwalk Resort have their own festive gingerbread holiday displays for guests’ delight.
