The parks and hotels are all decked out from top to bottom, new treats are waiting to be devoured, and exclusive holiday events are the talk of the town. Speaking of exclusive events, Disney just shared even MORE details about what we can expect from Jollywood Nights!
The holiday season is one of our FAVORITE times to visit Disney World.

Actually, scratch that. It is our favorite time to visit Disney World. With all the holly jolly decor, fun and festive treats, and the holiday parties, it’s an all-around good time. While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom is typically what folks spend all year looking forward to, we’re feeling lucky to have something NEW to look forward to for 2023. That’s right, we’re talking about Jollywood Nights!
It’s October, and despite our excitement for Halloween, we have to admit that we’re counting down the days until we can officially start decorating and celebrating the holiday season.
Festival of the Holidays 2022
It’s never too early to prep for the holidays, as they often require some extra budgeting, planning, and coordinating so that everyone can take in the sights of all the curated decor, unwrap the gifts that were on their wishlists on Christmas morning, and indulge in the BEST flavors of the season. Disney World is already prepping for the holidays, and the company has even announced some of the ways we can celebrate in the parks this winter. Today, we’re talking FOOD, and we’re headed to EPCOT!
Fun and exciting things happen in the parks every single day at Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
It can seem impossible that anything BETTER could soon come, because it’s already super great. However, we’re entering the time of year where we personally believe everything is getting even MORE magical, because we’re looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even things that are to come to Disney World in early 2024. This week, Disney hit us with a LOT of announcements, and included some that involve all of those things. If you’re looking forward to what the next few months hold, you’re going to want to listen up.
The holiday season at Disney World is super magical yet notoriously busy.

Folks flock to the parks to see the festive decor scattered throughout the parks, merry treats and merchandise, and even the sweet relief of a Disney World trip that isn’t spent drenched in sweat. While we usually brace ourselves for the intense crowds that the holiday season brings each year, there’s a possibility that this year, Disney World might not be as crowded. Let’s talk about it!
It might seem like it just became socially acceptable to start celebrating the fall season and Halloween, and already, folks are preparing for the next big holiday.
Magic Kingdom during the holidays
Yes, we’re talking about Christmas! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Disney World is a fan-favorite ticketed event in Magic Kingdom where you’ll join Mickey and his friends in celebrating the jolliest time of the year.

If you’re like us, then the countdown to the holidays is officially underway.
