food IS a theme park
It’s Thanksgiving week, and that means that millions of Americans will be traveling in the next few days!
Disney World is already crowded for Thanksgiving!
Whether they’re headed to visit family in another part of the country or taking advantage of the days off of work to go on vacation, we’re expecting to see some very busy roads and airports (and theme parks, for that matter!). But exactly HOW many travelers will there be this holiday season? Let’s dig a little deeper!
Although the holiday season has landed full force at Disney World, it’s still fall, and we’re still enjoying fall flavors.

If you’re heading to Disney World in November, you’re in for an exciting time!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
The holiday season kicks off this month in Disney World, with decorations going up, exciting events happening, and more. The weather is pretty mild this time of year compared to the spring and summer months, and *hopefully* we won’t see huge crowds until around Thanksgiving! This makes it an ideal time to visit the parks, especially if you’re ready to get in the holiday spirit. So, let’s talk about the 5 best things to do in Disney World in November!

Even though we’ve still got Halloween and the 50th Anniversary ahead of us, we’re already thinking about the holiday season at Disney World!
Christmas Tree in EPCOT
This year, the two months of excitement will be highlighted by the Disney Very Merriest After Hours event and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, plus decorations all around the resorts, special snacks, and offerings at Disney Springs. And today we found out that one of our favorite entertainment options will be returning!
Many Disney World guests have been missing Extra Magic Hours, but while Extra Magic Hours won’t be returning, new programs, known as Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours have taken its place.
We’d live here if we could!
Early Theme Park Entry allows all Disney World resort guests entry into the parks 30 minutes before the official opening time every day, while Extended Evening Hours lets guests who are staying at deluxe resorts and deluxe villas stay an hour or two later in the theme parks after their official closing time on select dates.
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World soon, there’s going to be a lot for you to experience!
