Holidays at WDW

The holiday season may be one of the best times of the year to visit the Walt Disney World Resort. Not only are most kids out of school this time of year, but temperatures are also moderate and comfortable in Central Florida as well. And, when it comes to Christmas, no one does a celebration like Walt Disney World! Many families have a tradition of visiting Disney at this time of year, and with all the extra effort that goes into decorating and setting up for this season, it’s no wonder why it is one of the most popular times of the year to visit (but beware, this can often lead to extra large crowds).

The holidays may be extra taxing on your pocketbook, but Orlando Fun Tickets can provide some much-needed holiday relief for your family by providing deeply discounted tickets to all four theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort. OrlandoFunTickets.com is your No. 1 place for reduced prices to all of your favorite Central Florida attractions, so be sure to book your tickets right here for your next vacation!

All around the Walt Disney World Resort you will find holiday decorations at every corner. For example, at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, guests can visit a life-size gingerbread house in the lobby and even purchase gingerbread and other goods from this spectacle in the resort’s front lobby. Giant Christmas trees are everywhere, and there are many special events going on to celebrate this time of year at the theme parks and at Downtown Disney. Among the many events are Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom Park, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights and the Harlem Gospel Choir at the Disney-MGM Studios, the Holidays Around the World Celebration at Epcot, Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and the Festival of the Seasons at Downtown Disney. But no matter where you go across property, you are sure to experience the joy of this season everywhere!

Beginning select nights on November 10, 2008 and running until December 19, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will invade the Magic Kingdom Park after regular park hours. This five-hour special ticket event features all of your favorite Magic Kingdom attractions in addition to some special holiday surprises! Among the celebration activities are: a new Castle Dream Lights presentation, a brand new Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade, live stage shows featuring your favorite Disney characters, character greetings throughout the park, complimentary cookies and hot cocoa, and snow adorning the sky on Main Street U.S.A. 

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is presented nightly during the winter holiday months. New York Street comes alive during this celebration with millions of Christmas lights hanging on every inch of the mock buildings that line the streets. These lights even come alive with a mix of holiday music as they dance to the beat, and snow belts down on guests to complete the holiday experience. Also at this theme park, guests can witness the world famous Harlem Gospel Choir at special showings at the Theatre of the Stars through Christmas day.
