There is snow much fun happening throughout the most magical place on earth – let’s dive in to the magic and explore all the fun to be had there!
Holiday at Magic Kingdom
There is so much holiday fun to be seen right on main street at Magic Kingdom and all around the Castle hub. Christmas trees, wreaths, garland…so many fun special decorations! You for sure do not want to miss the transformation of The Jungle Cruise into the JINGLE Cruise. They have new jokes, fun decorations, and it is a really special experience.
Holiday Fun at EPCOT
You won’t want to miss the International Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT! They also have Candlelight Processionals for you to attend. One thing to make sure you do is to go on Living with the Land because they add lights and Christmas Mickey decorations. It is so fun!
