Discover Nostalgic Holiday Fun at Magic Kingdom
Dreaming of a perfect Disney Christmas? As soon as guests pass through the Magic Kingdom park gates and have a clear view of Cinderella Castle from Main Street, U.S.A., guests will realize they are in the perfect spot to check off the holiday items on their personal bucket list.
Catch the Wintry Excitement During the “Frozen Holiday Surprise”
This year, guests can join “Frozen” friends from Arendelle as Olaf and over 100 of his snowgie siblings add garlands, ornaments, wreaths, and more to Cinderella Castle during the “Frozen Holiday Surprise.”
With appearances from Anna and Kristoff, as well as a magical moment from Elsa as she transforms Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace, this show is a dazzling nighttime experience that guests won’t want to miss.
Looking to see even more magic from Elsa during the holidays? Catch her and many other Disney characters in the new “Disney Starlight” parade, debuting July 20 and available twice each night (subject to cancellation). Please note that the parade will not be available on evenings when the Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but the parade will continue throughout the holiday season — after all, the cold never bothered us anyway.
A big part of the festivities includes themed decor all around the parks. From EPCOT and Magic Kingdom to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, guests have the chance to explore all kinds of special decorations and locations.
Other notable experiences include the limited-time overlay of Jungle Cruise. During the Christmas season, this classic boat ride turns into Jingle Cruise, taking guests on a familiar yet far jollier river adventure. Living with the Land also gets a special makeover, making these two rides you won’t want to miss.
