Holiday Celebrations at Walt Disney World Resort

August 4, 2015 By Tony Caselnova

It’s still Summertime, but it’s never too early for us to start planning our Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort and all the magic and merriment of spending the season a the most magical place on Earth!

Magic Kingdom

Add some very to your merry at the veriest, merriest Christmas party of the season. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom hosts 20 nights of yuletide cheer from Nov. 8 – Dec. 18, 2015. From 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. during select nights at Magic Kingdom park, this annual ticket event will bring Christmas joy to guests of all ages with festive decorations, towering Christmas trees, and wintry wonderful entertainment.

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! Dance Party, “Celebrate the Season” musical stage show starring favorite Disney characters, and “Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season” fireworks spectacular.

Disney characters dressed in their Christmas best will be available for meet and greets throughout the park. In addition, don’t miss Queen Elsa from “Frozen” as she uses her incredible powers to transform Cinderella Castle nightly into a glistening ice palace for the holidays during “A Frozen Holiday Wish” castle lighting show.

Also for the holiday season, the iconic Jungle Cruise will temporarily transform into “Jingle Cruise” for Magic Kingdom guests. Festive decor in the attraction queue and boathouse gives guests a bit of Christmas cheer. The Jingle Cruise boats each are given a unique holiday name, and the Skippers share a slew of seasonal holiday jokes throughout the tour.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit Disneyworld.com/Christmasparty. Tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2015 can be purchased for the following dates:

November 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20 and 29

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

A spectacular light display boasting millions of glittering lights, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is perfectly synchronized to a high-energy holiday symphony. This magical display of Christmas lights can be seen on the Streets of America from Nov 6, 2015 through Jan 3, 2016.

Epcot

One of the most beloved holiday traditions at Epcot, the Candlelight Processional inspires guests and instills the Christmas spirit through the retelling of the Christmas story by celebrity narrators, accompanied by a masterful orchestra and choir. The Candlelight Processional is performed three times each evening, [5:00], [6:45] and 8 p.m., from Nov. 27 to Dec. 30. For the full schedule of narrators and to make reservations for a Candlelight Processional Dinner Package, visit disneyworld.com/holiday.

Guests become immersed in holiday festivities while experiencing holiday traditions from various countries throughout World Showcase during Holidays Around the World Nov 27 – Dec. 30. Share in the sights and sounds of the nations of World Showcase as each country’s holiday heritage comes to life amid joyful music, interactive storytelling and time-honored traditions.

Epcot features special holiday merchandise perfect for every shopper’s Christmas list. Santa’s Village in American Adventure and Christkindlmarkt in Germany feature extra special shopping experiences with unique Christmas ornaments and holiday items.

While shopping, guests can stop by the Future World Fountain Stage for a joy-filled performance by “Joyful!” This spirited ensemble uniquely blends the soulful expressiveness of gospel and inspirational music with the sounds of jazz, R&B and urban music. This holiday performance features classic Christmas tunes with a soulful spin.

The merriment continues with meet and greets with Santa and Mrs. Claus, plus the nightly “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth – Holiday Edition,” a laser, light, fireworks display capped with a seasonal finale.

This spectacular light display boasting millions of glittering lights is perfectly synchronized to a high-energy holiday symphony and is capped off with a flurry of snow.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Meet Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom during the holiday season for a special photo opportunity. Mickey and Minnie dress in their holiday best, which makes for the perfect Christmas card photo.

Downtown Disney

Downtown Disney will be decked with holiday décor to bring Christmas cheer to holiday shoppers and guests. Santa will be available for a special meet and greet, along with jolly holiday entertainment throughout the season.

Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

All of Walt Disney World shines brightly with merry décor during the holiday season, including Walt Disney World Resort Hotels. 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. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge showcase breathtaking Christmas trees towering inside the resorts. With so many splendid sights to see, Christmas joy radiates to every corner of Walt Disney World Resort.

Quote of the week

The natives over there are cannibals. They eat liars with the same enthusiasm as they eat honest men.

If you know the answer call us at 407-476-8898

Notes from Trish @DreamSweetsLove on twitter! “You may remember last time I was on the podcast I mentioned how it rarely snows at Tokyo Disney Resort and how at the most we might get 1 or 2 days of snow and that it melts rather quickly. Actually, the news from TDR this week is that we have had an exceptionally heavy snow fall, the heaviest in 45 years. Of course yours truly was foolish enough to go out in this snow storm and met with a friend at Tokyo DisneySea. This was not a very smart idea! It was cold and painful and while at times incredibly beautiful, I’m not sure I would do it again.
Let’s say you find yourself at the parks on a snow day or unexpected snowstorm, here are some tips to help you survive:
Tip 1: The first thing you should do is to keep warm and dry. Wear waterproof boots and gloves. Because of the strong winds that are typical in the bay area you should probably have a raincoat in addition to your umbrella because odds are your umbrella will not make it all day. Japan also has something called “Kairo” (pronounced Kah-ee-roh) these are little pouches that when exposed to air heat up and you can keep them in yur pockets to warm your hands, they also come as shoe inserts to warm your feet. You can find many winter goods at the parks including kairo but if you want something for more severe weather you can check the shops at Ikspiari, TDR’s version of Downtown Disney.
Tip 2: If you are not staying on property have a plan to get home! Trains and buses may halt operation in severe weather conditions such as the recent snow storm we just went through. The good news is that there will be an in park announcement when trains and buses are getting ready to stop running. To be honest though it is better to leave before this announcement is made because at this point you are looking at a very crowded and delayed public transportation and the line for taxi’s will seem endless.
Tip 3: Keep warm with a hot “free” drink! You know how the US parks will give you ice water if you ask? Well at TDR you can ask for hot water which can be a lifesaver in the winter. Just ask “O-yu kudasai” (pronounced Oh-yoo Koo-dah-sah-ee), bring along some tea bags or hot cocoa powder to put in the hot water and you are ready to brave to cold again.
Tip 4: Please listen to the cast. It is incredibly difficult and demanding conditions that they are working in when inclement weather hits and they have your safety as a top priority. Some areas will be blocked off due to dangerous conditions and they will re-direct you to a safe route you can take. They will also be station at points were the ground is slick, there is danger of large amounts of snow falling, etc.”
