With this event now underway, it’s now officially Christmas-time at every Walt Disney World theme park! Picking up where the Food & Wine Festival left off only one week after that ended, Epcot’s
Over a decade ago on our first Christmas trip to Walt Disney World together, I posed a question online about doing a Self-Guided Yuletide Tour of Walt Disney World, since the official holiday tour wasn’t being offered during our vacation. I ended up cobbling a touring plan together myself, which we ended up using and
This rainy day report offers a recap of our experience at the first 2019 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. In it, we share commentary and dozens of new photos from this year’s holiday party at Walt Disney World. Before we even get started, we’ll preface this by saying it was an incredibly wet night–a downright
President Donald Trump has canceled a planned visit to Walt Disney World this Christmas season. He was scheduled to headline a Republican Party fundraiser that was planned for the Grand Floridian Resort. In this post, we’ll share dates, details, and how this could impact your vacation.
