It has been QUITE the unexpected week in Disney World!
The holidays are here!
This week we saw surprise performances (even including celebrities!) and some RARE character appearances, so let’s get into it.
Celebrities Performing in EPCOT
Country singer Brett Eldredge performed some holiday tunes for cameras in EPCOT, near Spaceship Earth!
Hey, Brett!
And later, Chance the Rapper also performed in EPCOT. We didn’t hear any holiday music from him but the performance was fun!

Both performances were filmed, so we’ll be watching out for what Disney plans to do with this footage! It’ll likely be going in the holiday special!
Check out more photos and videos of Brett Eldredge and Chance the Rapper performing in EPCOT!
Marching Band Changed Locations
The Main Street Philharmonic Band performed at an unusual spot this week — in front of Cinderella Castle! Usually, they perform along Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom.

It was so fun to hear their usual Disney classic music from Cinderella Castle, but we don’t yet know if this was a one-time thing or something that might become more regular!
