Disney World balloons make us happy
We’ve enjoyed the first weekend of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, some holiday entertainment, seen some cool holiday merchandise, and more! But today, we decided to check up on the iconic Disney World balloons and we’ve got some good news — the holiday balloons have returned!
We haven’t seen a daytime parade at Disney World since the parks closed in 2020. Sure, we had cavalcades, but full-blown parades during the day? Nope.
Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade at Disney Very Merriest
But this year has brought the return of entertainment, fireworks, and more back to the parks. And one parade, Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime, DID return for guests with tickets to the Disney Very Merriest After Hours parties. BUT…soon, ALL Disney World guests visiting Magic Kingdom will get to see that parade!

And, for this one, we’re talking to all you TEA lovers out there!
Salt & Straw, located in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, is an ice cream shop known for creative and zany flavors!
