Disney World Park Hours for Week Between Christmas and New Year!

Another round of park hours have been released. This time it’s for the most popular time of the year: the week between Christmas and New Year!

Disney in December

Disney recently shared details about what the holiday season will look like across the theme parks and resorts. Here is a brief recap:

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the Candlelight Processional will NOT take place this year.

However, we can still expect decor to pop up around the parks. Specifically, Cinderella Castle will look a bit different this year.

SANTA AND HIS FRIENDS WILL APPEAR AT MAGIC KINGDOM AS WELL – LIKELY IN THE FORM OF CHARACTER CAVALCADES.

Holiday seasonal dining will happen once again at Hollywood & Vine. I (Monica) am excited to try dinner there for the first time and see my favorite friends in some festive outfits!

A sampling of Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays will still happen this year. We can expect Voices of Liberty and JOYFUL! to return.

Disney Springs and the resorts will also be decked out for the holiday season. Unfortunately, the famous gingerbread displays will not appear this year.

The holiday season at Walt Disney World will run November 6 to December 30. More details on all things Christmas can be found HERE.

Disney has also shared a holiday commercial, which can be viewed HERE.
