We blinked, and suddenly, we were less than one month away from November. What happened?! How is 2024 almost over already? Is anyone else totally confused about where the time went?
Well, like it or not, November is fast approaching, and that means some new Disney World CHANGES are on the horizon. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this November, here are all the biggest CHANGES and events happening throughout the month!
Typhoon Lagoon is CLOSING
When one room closes, another one opens — literally! This November, Typhoon Lagoon stops showing hours on the Disney website, meaning it will more than likely close on that date. The good news is that on that same day, Blizzard Beach begins showing operating hours.
This seasonal water park closure happens each year. Disney’s two water parks take turns closing for refurbishment, and now, it’s time for Blizzard Beach to reopen for the season!

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Returns
There are just a few weeks left to enjoy the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival! In fact, the festival ends on November 23rd, so get those last few mac and cheese dishes and Fry Flights!
Luckily, a new festival is right around the corner. The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays runs from November 29th to December 30th, 2024! We can’t wait to see what’s new (and returning) on the menu this year. Stay tuned for more details!
The Festival will feature several popular Holiday Kitchens, the Candlelight Processional, and even a collection of International Storytellers from around World Showcase.
Oh, and if you’re interested in attending the super-popular Candlelight Processional, be warned that those events fill up QUICKLY.
7 Dates To AVOID the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is November 28th. If you’re planning to be in Disney World for the holiday, look out for increased crowds and higher Lightning Lane Multi Pass Prices.
In the past, we’ve seen Magic Kingdom get pretty crowded around the holidays. Disney hasn’t released the prices for its skip-the-line service this November yet, but we’ll be sure to update you when prices drop.

This year, it’s returning with new additions, including a new holiday-themed ice skating show called “Glisten!” The event runs select nights from November 9th through December 21st.
