If you were already making plans for Disney World Orlando the upcoming holiday season, many may be sad to hear of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Candlelight Procession at EPCOT being officially canceled for 2020. But don't drop your park plans just yet. The theme park still has some big magical experiences in store for the season.
Disney has reimagined their Christmas cheer this year and will be decking the halls with loads of decor and seasonal sights from November 6 through December 30, according to Disney's park blog.
Park-goers can expect all the festive decor, themed merch, holiday bites, beverages, and loads of entertainment throughout Disney's resorts, four parks, and even Disney Springs.
The jolly man Santa himself will be making special stops at each location, sprinkling his holly jollies everywhere as he waves and spreads Christmas wishes to visitors.
