Santa Gertie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios from 2021 It is well known that Walt Disney World will change from Halloween to Christmas seemingly overnight. That said, just because it looks like Christmas does not mean that the Christmas Season is in full swing. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will return on November 8. Holiday activities at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney Springs will start on November 11. The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays won’t begin until November 25! The decorations are a big part of the holidays at Walt Disney World, so even if you’re there before November 11, enjoy!
