Magic Kingdom visitors can catch a bit of early holiday magic tonight as "Frozen Holiday Surprise" begins its run ahead of schedule. Originally set to debut on November 12, Disney has opted to bring the seasonal spectacle to guests starting this evening, November 5.

Frozen Holiday Surprise during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

According to the My Disney Experience app, tonight's "Frozen Holiday Surprise" will begin at 6:15 pm. On Friday, the opening night of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, there will be two performances, at 6:15 pm and again at 8:15 pm, exclusively for partygoers.

The projection-based stage show begins when Olaf and over 100 of his snowgie siblings add garlands, ornaments, wreaths, and more to Cinderella Castle.

Next, Anna, Elsa and Kristoff appear on stage with Olaf—all decked out in their holiday best. The festivities culminate as Elsa adds the finishing touches with her ice magic, transforming Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace.

The Holiday display at Newark Airport is on par with this. Is the measure of success for a Disney park now being comparable to that of an airport in New Jersey?

Sure, but he’s Elton John. Still an A-lister.

I realized today that Elton John’s appearance at the Christmas tapings wasn’t an attempt to boost the performer lineup for the sake of providing an enhanced lineup. They’re hyping the documentary on D+. *Sigh*

Jollywood is missing something. It just didn’t feel like a party like MVMCP does. We couldn’t quite put our finger on what it was, but something just wasn’t clicking. And the fireworks were super meh.

We’ve gone many times but felt MVMCP was exceptional this year. Perhaps my memory is bad but it felt like lots more streetmosphere, they were generous with the cookies, there were low ride wait times, and overall it was just so much fun. Parade and fireworks are always top tier. Truly a trip highlight. Can’t say the same for Jollywood though. We couldn’t believe the same park put these two events together. For all the warmth and liveliness of MVMCP, JN could not be more opposite. Outside of the Muppets show, everything seemed very half baked. The skating show was just…not it. The fireworks show is not good either. And for anything else happening, it all seemed tucked away and you had to go search for it. I’ve heard other people really like JN this year, so not sure if we just hit a bad night or this just isn’t our cup of tea? We wanted to like it, but just fail to see the value here. MVMCP is where it’s at!!

It’s one of the main reasons to attend the party! If you go again, I would make a point of watching it properly—ideally from Main Street so that you experience the “snow”.

Anecdotal: we attended our first ever Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on Thursday. One thing that surprised me was that the “free” cookies were legit good. And the hot cocoa was decent. The fireworks were awesome, with a jaw-dropping finale. Caught part of the parade in passing. Rode Big Thunder many times, Tron 3 times, Tiana’s twice, Jingle Cruise, and Space Mountain.

We need a detailed history of the decisions that led to the construction of Communicore Hall. It would be fascinating.

I noticed they didn't put the wreaths on the entrance signs this year.

Awareness of bare walls is the first step to enlightenment.

Just got a survey that included questions about the holiday decorations at Epcot and I let them know alllll about how much they were lacking

Oh, look, someone at Disney ran to Home Depot and spent around 200 bucks! Cute. Maybe next year we can get a few strands of real lights held up with command hooks. Once again, I cannot believe people are actually praising their pathetic, half baked efforts.
