It may be a while away, but Disney is already gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year!

We just learned some major news for the Halfway to the Holidays celebration like what we can expect throughout the parks, hotels, and more. And, we officially know that the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is returning — and when!
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will take place between November 29th through December 30th!

So far, we know that we’ll be able to enjoy food from around the world at the returning Holiday Kitchens…

…and Disney has also announced that the Candlelight Processionals will be back this year. Storytellers, musical performers, and more holiday entertainment will also return!
In 2023, the Festival featured the always-popular Holiday Kitchens and more. The Candlelight Processional is a guest favorite (info below!), and the International Storytellers from around World Showcase are a truly unique experience.

If you’re looking for a travel agent to help with your vacation, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel. They’re experts in the field with over 20 years of vacation planning experience, and they can help take a bunch of the stress out of the entire booking process for you!
