The holidays are almost here!!! Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, but the Christmas Season is right around the corner at Walt Disney World. Holiday activities officially begin on November 8 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. The first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will be held that night as well. Things will take a little bit longer at Epcot. The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays will begin on November 29. That’s because the Food & Wine Festival continues until November 23.
