Feel the holiday spirit with the many character cavalcades at Magic Kingdom Park.

The holidays in Orlando, FL are upon us which means we are excitedly waiting as to what amazing events are in store at Walt Disney World® Theme Parks. We are still in the middle of the global pandemic, so you can rest assured that health & safety guidelines are of the highest importance. Also, now that some of our favorite holiday events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Celebration and the Candlelight Processional, have been canceled, we’re more than eager to know what the world-famous resort will be doing to accommodate such times.

Well, the wait is officially over, because starting November 6 and lasting through December 30, 2020, Walt Disney World® Resort will be celebrating the holidays with an exciting assortment of holiday experiences, beautiful décor, delicious holiday-themed food, merchandise and more for you to enjoy!
