Wow that is late, and well after our dining window opens up! Thanks for the info!

If the narrators are released around the same time this year, it will be 2+ weeks after my ADR window opens.

They are always so beautiful. Will be interesting to see if they do anything in the Encanto area and new Walt statue area.

That sounds so good. Will have to try that if it’s brought back.

Which was your favorite cookie?

I liked the Mocha one with the creme!! Do they change them up each year?

No telling if they will keep them the same or not, until it’s announced.

One year there was a drink I loved. It was hot chocolate with toasted marshmallow syrup. So good. Looked for it the next year, and it wasn’t there. My husband surprised me for Christmas that year with Monin toasted marshmallow syrup. I made my own.

We are traveling Thanksgiving so we can head to Epcot the day after Thanksgiving or that Saturday. Is there much of a difference in the crowds those days? I’m guessing it is packed both days and just pick the one that works better for our trip?

Candlelight Professional. Went for the first in 2024 and absolutely loved it. Can't believe we hadn't done it before. Planning to see again this year.

Yes this. Candlelight processional is beautiful. We were able to watch from the walkway because I could not get tickets and it was just beautiful. Especially if you are there at Christmas you really do feel Christmas when you experience this

I have been to WDW at Christmas (that actual day/week) a couple times before but many years ago. I have never seen the Candlelight Processional so I'm most looking forward to that. But looking forward to everything. My DH is the one who requested going during the Holidays (I like it at Christmas but Prefer Fall for visiting the World.)

Hi all it's been forever since we've been at WDW during xmas/holidays. Can someone briefly explain what the Festival of the Holidays is at EPCOT? I clicked the link to the official Disney website- it just looks like there are extra decorations (obviously), holiday people telling stories, specialty holiday-themed meals, some sort of lighting thing and a cookie stroll? What is a cookie stroll? Is this like at MK where it's a separate ticketed night time event? Or is this similar to the other EPCOT festivals where you buy a map and then get a cookie at the end? I'm confused. Also, I love cookies. LOL Thanks!
