Disney World during the holiday season is just different, so we don’t blame you for wanting to plan a trip.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party happens in Magic Kingdom, Jollywood Nights will be taking place for the first time in Hollywood Studios, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is returning! Disney hasn’t shared much about what we can expect from this year’s festival, but we think we may have just found a hint!
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays runs from November 24th to December 30th, 2023 and we can’t wait for Disney to deck the halls. We haven’t heard too much in the way of details about this year’s festivities, but we think we may have spotted a big clue!

On the Disney Auditions Website, there’s a posting for Festival of the Holidays Holiday Storytellers! It seems as though we can count on the Holiday Storytellers to be placed around the World Showcase sharing stories from different cultures.

According to the listing, Disney is hiring for both Canada’s and France’s Pere Noel, the Chanukah Storyteller, La Befana from Italy, the Barn Santa and Sigrid from Norway, Father Christmas from the UK Pavilion, and the Daruma Vendor from Japan.

It looks like we may slowly start getting more details from Disney about what we can expect from EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays this year. We also know that the Festival will feature the popular Holiday Kitchens and more.

The Candlelight Processional is a guest favorite (info below!) and seeing the International Storytellers from around World Showcase is a truly unique experience.
We’ll continue keeping an eye out for the latest news from around Disney World, so stay tuned to AllEars for more!
