EPCOT During The Holidays

There is absolutely nothing like Disney World during the holidays. If you are in a “bah-humbug” state of mind, head to Disney’s Epcot and be magically transformed! Epcot is home to some pretty amazing sites, but during the Christmas season, it’s just pure bliss and magic!

1. The first magical stop in Epcot would have to be the World Showcase for The Festival of the Holidays. This was previously known as Holidays Around the World. We spent some time there last year and let me just say, it was beyond magical. Each country showcases how they celebrate the season, complete with traditional foods and festivities. For example, in the France pavilion, you will meet Pere Noel. He tells a magical story of how Christmas is celebrated in France. Of course, just like with all Epcot festivals, delicious and “yummy” food will be found at each World Showcase pavilion. Try something new this holiday season! This year’s Festival of the Holidays will run November 29 – December 30, 2019!

2. The Candlelight Processional. This holiday event tells the story of the true meaning of Christmas. A timeless classic! Click this LINK for all of the great artists you will find at this year’s Candlelight Processional. November 29 – December 30, 2019 will be the dates of this year’s event. Whoopie Goldberg and Neil Patrick Harris are just two of the many amazing narrators in the line up! Dining packages are also available for this event.

3. Santa! Well, of course, EVERYONE wants to see the Big Guy during the holidays. We love to visit Santa in the American pavilion in the World Showcase.

4. Holiday Kitchens. One of the BEST things about the holidays is the delicious food. Disney provides a taste of the season with their HOLIDAY KITCHENS. New for 2019 is the Holiday Cookie Stroll! Get your festival passport and stroll along looking for these delicious treats!

• Bavaria Holiday Kitchen at the Germany Pavilion: Linzer Cookie
• American Holiday Table at the America Pavilion: Gingerbread Cookie
• Yukon Holiday Kitchen at the Canada Pavilion: Peppermint Pinwheel Cookie
• Feast of the Three Kings near the Mexico Pavilion: Chocolate Crinkle Cookie
• L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen between the Morocco and France Pavilions: Black-and-White Cookie

5. EPCOT FOREVER is Epcot’s newest nighttime fireworks show! Watch for the “spark of imagination” that started it all!

Bonus Tip:

For a little more excitement, be sure to watch for Chip and Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree, a fun and interactive scavenger hunt. Maps are $6.99 plus tax, and are available throughout Epcot while supplies last.

As you can see, Epcot is the place to be for the holidays. What is your favorite part about the holidays in Epcot? Leave us a comment and let us know!
