Wreaths and garlands are now in place along Main Street, U.S.A. The Christmas Tree and remaining decorations are expected to be installed in the coming days.





Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party begins November 9, and the holiday season officially begins on November 7 including the debut of 'Frozen Holiday Surprise.'

Bob and Josh despise the unfavorables.

Not surprised that 12/16 and 12/19 at MK have reached capacity. That is before most APs are blocked out. My checkout day is 12/19 and I have a park reservation for MK before being blocked out the next day for my Pixie pass. https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/mymagicplus/news/04dec2023-new-years-eve-at-epcot-and-more-dates-in-december-at-magic-kingdom-reach-capacity-for-disney-world-passholders-.htm

The Guest Favorite Park Pass System strikes again! I see that Disney has once again returned to making sure that the unfavorable guest mix of unprofitable AP holders doesn't contaminate their P&L statements for December. Most Locals will be locked out for the last half of December anyway, so why not accelerate the process?

Will not be surprised if MK follows suit for 12/30 and 12/31.

Colder weather may be in season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun at the water park! From now until December 31st, you can participate in a scavenger hunt to celebrate the holiday season! The scavenger hunt and prizes can be picked up at the Lost Children’s hut at Blizzard Beach. The prizes consist of multiple different Christmas ornament craft kits to choose from.

All monorails on all three lines were displaying the red and green undercarriage animation that played exclusively on MVMCP nights. Perhaps this animation will continue to play on all nights as the holiday festivities ramp up at Walt Disney World?

Posting this just in case anyone is going this year. We just watched a video of a roaming Christmas Tree at Disney Springs. Be sure to catch it because whoever is voicing it is very funny. It made us laugh out loud.
