As someone who spent last Thanksgiving at Disney World, I highly recommend taking advantage of this early opening.[^f3254]
[^f3254]: The [Animal Kingdom is opening early too](http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/animal-kingdom/news/13nov2014-disney’s-animal-kingdom-joins-the-magic-kingdom-in-early-opening-during-thanksgiving-week.htm).
One of my favorite parts of Christmas at Disney World is going from resort to resort looking at the Christmas decorations. They are amazing.
Happy Birthday, Mickey!
This looks super awesome. I’m bummed I won’t get down there to see it.
This is awesome.[^nite]
[^nite]: Though I doubt Elyssa is going to learn to sew just to do it. 🙂
Speaking of Christmas at Disney…
> Also as a reminder, your resort concierge can book your 4th (or 5th etc.) FP+ back at your Disney resort should you wish to take a break in between park hops.
What? Really? I wish I had known this on my last trip. This is a *huge* tip.
There have been a lot of picture posts recently as Disney rolls out its Christmas decorations. I think this one has the most total photos.
I doubt these will be super-popular or anything.
I tried this out and was able to book two days that were previously unavailable.
I always thought the concept of “Glow with the Show” was pretty cool, but I never really saw that many people actually wearing them. I wonder if these new items will be more popular.
This looks adorable.
Disney has to make an announcement about a Studios expansion soon, right?
Yes, I have already started hunting for Clemson – Star Wars t-shirts.
I would pick Narcoossee’s, and it’s not even close.
Tom Staggs just made the announcement:
> So I’m pleased to say that we’re starting construction at Walt Disney World Resort on a brand new “Frozen” attraction at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favorite moments and music from the film. The pavilion will also include a royal greeting location where Anna and Elsa can meet our guests. We think these “Frozen” elements are great compliments to the Norway Pavilion, which showcases the country and region that inspired the film.
Personally, I am in favor of this change. Yes, I will miss Maelstrom, but I think switching to a Frozen-themed ride is the right way to go.
This looks like it was a pretty awesome show. I wish Disney World would put something like as an afternoon parade in Epcot or the Studios.
I think this might be a decent way to pre-game before Illuminations.
Josh from *EasyWDW* was some good information as to what the “fall back” Fastpass+ reservations are for certain attractions. This is good information to keep in mind when you’re 60 days out and looking to book.
This *TouringPlans* article from Trista VanderVoord is amazing. As a chronic “over packer”, I cannot believe how much she fits into her bags.
