     MAGIC KINGDOM

    Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party:  tickets are required for the merriest Christmas party. This usually starts at 6.00 and you can see the snow fall on Main Street, also enjoy cookies and cocoa to help keep you warm, and watch a magical holiday parade with characters in festive costumes, and a special presentation of Wishes fireworks around the castle. All the rides are open as usual.

    You can meet Santa Claus at the small garden next to City Hall.

    The entrance to Epcot has beautiful poinsettia trees. The Lights of Winter illuminate the walkway between Future World and World Showcase, they light up with festive musical scores. Also the fountains at the entrance dance along to the music.

    There is a Tree Lighting Ceremony each night at 6pm. All the lights go out and then the tree comes to life.

    Candlelight Processional: There is a wonderful choir and orchestra together with a guest narrator. Lots of carols and festive songs to listen to.

    Storytelling around World Showcase: As you stroll around the World Showcase, there are storytellers from each of the countries.
