๐ Christmas Season Orlando Disney World | Full Guide โจ
๐ Christmas Season Orlando Disney World | Full Guide โจโ Officially kicking off my Disney series! This post is a general overview โ detailed park-by-park guides are coming soon, so stay tuned!โ ๐ Personal Park Ranking (Subjective!)โ Having visited Shanghai Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, hereโs my take:โ Hollywood Studios >> Epcot > Magic Kingdomโ I only had 3 days to explore, and Christmas season tickets are the priciest of the year โ paying full price for a regular ticket felt underwhelming. So I went all-in on Special Events (they come with exclusive rides and holiday magic you wonโt want to miss)!โ ๐๏ธ Park Breakdown & Ticket Infoโ 12/19: Magic Kingdom (Special Event)โ Ticket: ~$230โ Hours: 4 PM โ 12 AMโ Verdict: Had super high expectations, but they werenโt fully met ๐. Still charming, but the hype didnโt quite match the experience.โ 12/20: Epcot (Normal Ticket)โ Ticket: ~$180โ Hours: 9 AM โ 9:30 PMโ Verdict: Went in with moderate expectations, but was pleasantly surprised! ๐ So many hidden gems and holiday touches that made the day feel special.โ 12/21: Hollywood Studios (Normal Ticket + Special Event)โ Ticket: ~ โ 180+ 200โ Hours: 9 AM โ 12:30 AMโ Verdict: Moderate expectations, but it completely exceeded them! ๐คฉ The best park of the trip by far.โ ๐ข Top Rides (My Ranking)โ I hit almost all the recommended attractions โ hereโs how they stack up:โ Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ๐ (absolute favorite!)โ Rock โnโ Roller Coaster ๐ธโ Slinky Dog Dash ๐ถโ Tron Lightcycle Power Run / Tianaโs Bayou Adventure ๐ถโ Space Mountain / Tower of Terror / Mickey & Minnieโs Runaway Railway ๐โ There were also lots of unique rides worth trying โ not my top picks, but fun for a one-time experience!โ ๐ Favorite Showsโ Beauty and the Beast โ Live on Stage (Hollywood Studios)โ For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration (Hollywood Studios)โ Both were magical, with incredible costumes, music, and holiday-themed twists!โ ๐ Fireworks Rankingโ Magic Kingdom: Classic & Dreamy โจ (iconic castle views + festive music)โ Epcot: Grand & Spectacular ๐ (wouldโve been my favorite if it had projections and a castle backdrop!)โ Hollywood Studios: Creative & Unique ๐ (totally different vibe โ no repeats of the other parks!)โ ๐จ Quick Note on Accommodationโ Orlando has affordable accommodation options for every budget โ from budget motels to luxury resorts. My upcoming guides will focus on park experiences (rides, shows, holiday decor), but feel free to ask if you want hotel recs!โ Detailed park-by-park guides (with ride tips, holiday highlights, and photo spots) are coming soon โ follow along for more Disney magic!โ #USATravel #Disney #OrlandoDisneyWorld #ChristmasDisney #DisneyGuide #HollywoodStudios #Epcot #MagicKingdom #DisneyHoliday #ThemeParkTravel
