Trying to plan a Disney World trip during the holiday season can be as difficult as trying to wrangle eels into a bucket — but it doesn’t have to be! And, if you’re heading to Disney World during Christmas this year, we’ve got great news because park hours have just been released for the season.
Christmas at Disney World!
Between Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and so much more, now is a great time to experience the holidays at Disney World. Let’s get into all the details!
Buckle up if you’re heading to Walt Disney World in November. From seasonal events to massive attraction changes, the month is set to be a game-changer for the “Most Magical Place on Earth.” Oh, and here’s the first thing you need to know — it’s Christmas in Disney World! Yes, we know you haven’t even bought your Thanksgiving turkey yet, but if you’re headed to Disney World, be prepared for red and green wreaths on Main Street, U.S.A. and the giant tree in your hotel lobby (at least by the middle of the month).
Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom
I’ve been covering Disney World for 7+ years, and I can remember few years with quite a much change as 2025. There have been construction announcements, permanent closures, and the transformation of classic rides — all of which will continue in November.
Get ready, you are about to be singing “it’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all” ALL day long, because we have a reminder for you about this popular attraction! Also, bonus points for you if you sang the song while reading that last sentence.
“it’s a small world” Holiday Overlay
We look forward to the “it’s a small world” holiday transformation each and every year, and we are getting closer to the big reveal! This classic attraction will be adorned with shimmering lights and whimsical decor for the holiday season at Disneyland Resort. However, to be ready for the Holidays at Disneyland Resort starting on November 14th, 2025, the attraction will need to close for a bit. That is why we are here to remind you!
Booking a Disney World hotel can be complex. From choosing the right dates to visit to booking Lightning Lanes and dining reservations, there’s a lot to remember. Heck, I’ve been doing it for 30+ years, and I even need to double and triple check to make sure I’ve taken care of everything. And then there’s the question of discounts…
Monorail at the Contemporary Resort
See, while the lowest prices are almost always going to be at Disney World’s Value resorts while the Deluxe hotel stays will cost you the most (and Moderate resorts are in the middle), but Disney often has deals and discounts that can help you save. In fact, they have them so often that we’re telling you to NEVER book your hotel for full price.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a massive state of transition, headlined by a BRAND NEW Monsters, Inc. that’s going to recreate Monstropolis in all its terrifying glory. However, something about the land has us terrified… and not in the way Mike and Sully would want us to be.

The land is going to be headlined by a long-awaited suspended coaster ride based on the doors scene in the movie! We’ve only wanted that ride FOREVER, and it’s going to be the FIRST suspended coaster in Disney history, so we should be ecstatic! However, the more we think about it, the more we’re worried about that ride. We’ll tell you why.
Several years ago, a brand new theme park – designed by Disney Imagineering veterans was announced to be coming to Oklahoma longtime theme park fans like myself were intrigued by the prospect, if a bit confused at the location, theme, and financials behind the park.

Turns out, we were right to be skeptical of this $2 billion theme park, as the project turned from blue sky to boondoggle, ending in nothing but lawsuits.
Okay, so Disney is always working on bring new movies to theaters, because, well, that’s what Disney does!

That’s also how the movie business rolls, and Disney is always announcing new projects, even with certain actors already attached, although not every project actually makes its way to the red carpet. Making movies is HARD, y’all. But we wanted to look at every movie Disney has teased recently, just to give you an idea of what may be in the works.
