ATTRACTIONS UPDATE
T
he holiday season is upon us again, and celebrations
are taking place all across the state. Here’s a rundown
of what’s going on around town as far as holiday attractions
and celebrations.
Walt Disney World
On select nights from November 8th through December
21st at the Magic Kingdom, the Walt Disney World Resort
brings extra holiday cheer with Mickey’s Very Merry
Christmas Party. Amid the spectacular decorations,
enjoy a parade featuring favorite Disney Characters,
and a special appearance by Santa Claus himself! There’s
also complimentary cookies and hot chocolate, and even
a wintry snowfall. And over at Epcot, experience the
International Festival of the Holidays from November
18th through December 30th along with the three-time
nightly Candlelight Processional, November 22nd through

Universal Orlando
It takes more work for some to get into the spirit of the
season, and you can see the heartwarming process in
action with a live show of Grinchmas, as the Grinch tries
to ruin the holiday for the Whos before finding the true
meaning of Christmas. You can also see Macy’s Holiday
Parade daily, with balloons and floats straight from New
York’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with music,
entertainment, and a spectacular tree lighting display.
Winter is also when The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
comes alive, with sights, sounds, and tastes straight from
the books and movies! The holidays are in bloom from
November 17th through January 6th.

With festive shopping, delicious food, and stunning live
shows inspired by the natural world, the park transforms
into a festive wonderland with over three million lights,
seasonal gifts, goodies, and so much more. See the lineup of
