In addition to the Candlelight Processional there are other special features for the holiday season. Guests can catch the return of the show “JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season” on the Showcase Plaza Stage, with performances that celebrate both Christmas and Kwanzaa. In the World Showcase guests can listen to holiday storytellers, musical acts, see other performers throughout the different countries, and they’ll be able to see some fun and festive decorations. Also, from November 26 – December 24 Santa Claus will be paying a visit to The American Adventure. So if you have a wish for Christmas make sure to catch the jolly man in the red suit while visiting the pavilion.
There are holiday decorations throughout EPCOT and all the other parks, as well as the Disney World Resort hotels, so make sure to take a look around while visiting the parks and hotels. The gingerbread house at The Grand Floridian and the gingerbread carousel at the Beach Club are both back this year and those are really impressive to see in person. The cast members who make and build the gingerbread displays include a sign with all the ingredients they used and it’s quite a lot. Also, all the hotels have a Christmas tree that is themed to the hotel, so it’s fun to visit different hotels and see all the trees.

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out our Countdown to Disney app! Feel free to email me with suggestions of things you would like to see in the app :-)
