food IS a theme park
Halloween is still a few weeks away, but Disney is already gearing up for Christmas!
Mickey Shaped Ornaments From Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe
We spotted some cute new ornaments in Disney World, but online there’s a whole world of Christmas to be explored.
Although we’re still knee-deep in Halloween season (YAY!), the holidays are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. And we’re already starting to see some awesome Disney holiday merch!
Christmas Tree in Magic Kingdom
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And we’ve found some CUTE Disney holiday pins that are PERFECT for making that wintry season merry and bright!
Every day is Christmas here at DFB, at least in our hearts. Yes, we’re still enjoying Halloween at Disney World (ALL THE SPOOKY SNACKS!), but we are SO gearing up for Christmas, too!
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe
That’s why we always love browsing inside Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom, where it’s Christmas EVERY SINGLE DAY. And we just found some super mouse-tacular ornaments there!
Since the Walt Disney World theme parks reopened a few months ago, we’ve seen various changes including the introduction of systems like the Park Pass Reservation System and the suspension of Fastpass+.
Christmas At Magic Kingdom
The holiday experience at Disney World has also changed significantly. Just recently, we shared some updates with you about the upcoming Christmastime entertainment and offerings that will be available at Disney World this year, but there’s also quite a few Christmas staples that guests won’t be able to experience.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well, not JUST yet. Yes, yes we know fall officially began earlier this week, but Disney seems to operate off of a WAY different calendar than the rest of us. (This is why Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party usually kicks off in August…)
Magic Kingdom at Christmas!
ANYWAY…. In keeping with their tradition, Disney recently announced the Christmas Season at Disney World begins November 6! With that kind of timetable, we may be further behind in our holiday shopping than we thought! Never fear! A number of festive holiday merch has already appeared on shopDisney, and we’re here to help you start crossing off items on your holiday shopping list!
Pumpkin spice season has barely begun, but we’re already craving candy canes and peppermint!
Forky Items
That’s thanks to a toy utensil, as shopDisney is helping us get a head start on the holiday season with adorable new Toy Story merchandise!
In September, we’re usually gearing up for Halloween and fall fun, but we’re not against celebrating Christmas early, too, especially with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party being canceled this year.

Disney’s holiday spirit, though, remains strong. And this year, it seems it’s getting ushered in by our favorite Frozen reindeer, Sven!
Halloween might not even be behind us yet, but we’re already getting pretty excited about holiday happenings at Disney World, even if they’ll be a little different this year.
Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar
But at least one thing will be the same this year: Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is getting its annual holiday makeover.
Disney just recently announced that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom and this year’s Candlelight Processional in EPCOT will be canceled.
Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail
But, some holiday events, like the International Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT, will still be offered this year. Now, we’ve got some more details about what holiday decorations and special offerings you’ll be able to find this year in Disney Springs.
In mid-June Disney World announced that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party would be canceled this year.
Gingerbread Cookie at Epcot’s 2019 Festival of the Holidays
But, uncertainty still remained over Christmastime offerings like Magic Kingdom’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, and Candlelight Processional.
