It seems that Walt Disney World is on the same page, as they announced today five things that are returning this year for the Christmas season, as they celebrate being halfway to the holidays.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
To me, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the creme de la creme of Disney holiday entertainment. This hard-ticketed event is a must for any Walt Disney World fan who also loves Christmas. This year will have returning favorites for parades, fireworks, shows, and character meet and greets. They will also have a special merchandise collection that will only be available for party guests.

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Presented by AdventHealth
My personal favorite festival of the Epcot International Festival of The Holidays. I love how it combines the great food and beverage that you expect from a festival at EPCOT with holiday storytellers around the World Showcase Countries, festive decor, and the EPCOT Candlelight Processional, where a celebratory narrator and full orchestra and choir tell a moving rendition of The Christmas Story. Disney has announced that this year’s festival will take place from Nov. 29 through Dec. 30.

Gingerbread Houses Return
If you’ve never visited the iconic Walt Disney World gingerbread houses that are on display at certain Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts, you’re missing out on one of the most magical things the resort offers. Disney has announced that they will return this year. While they haven’t shared the exact resorts and houses that will be offered, it’s a safe bet that you will find displays at The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, The Contemporary Resort, and The Boardwalk Inn.

Other favorites at Disney Parks
Disney announced that other parks will have a return of favorite holiday entertainment. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, ‘the enchanting Merry Menagerie’ returns, which features enchanting winter animal puppets. At Disney Springs, you can enjoy the Christmas Tree Stroll, where you can find Christmas trees themed to your favorite Disney attractions and movies. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can enjoy a nightly yuletide projection show at The Hollywood Tower Hotel. Santa Claus will also be doing meet and greets at all four parks, Disney Springs, and even Disney Water Parks this year - complete with beach wear!
