Holiday Happenings Dates

[collegejunkie]

Just trying to have the information all in one place.

Holidays Around the World at Epcot goes through December 30.

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam goes until December 31.

For the Magic Kingdom, when do Holiday Wishes and the Christmas Parade stop being shown daily? What's the last date for those as regularly scheduled entertainment?

Ah, in the past I seem to remember it going to a few days into January. I'm trying to make plans for January 1 and 2. Hmm.. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!

I asked a Cast Member who told me they go through January 8th, which is also when the decorations come down. It's frustrating to hear so many different things

decorations do stay up until marathon weekend but the Christmas Parade and Holiday Wishes do end Dec. 31st.

I asked about both specifically and separately, that's what makes it so difficult to actually plan! I guess I'll keep asking and see if I can get a most popular or something because this is super frustrating. I wish they would make it clear somewhere on the website. I'm sure I'm not the only person who needs this information

Just look on the Disney website daily schedule. It is on there.

Dec 31 it shows Christmas Parade and Holiday Wishes
Jan 1 it shows Festival of Fantasy Parade and Wishes

The CM is stating outdated info. Beginning with the 2013 Holiday scheduling, the Christmas Parade ran through the 31st with the regular day parade (CDCT) returning on Jan. 1st for its finale runs.

Because FoF is such a popular parade, the Christmas Parade continues to end on the 31st with FoF returning on January 1st.

Interesting! I've been using the travel agent calendar and there isn't a real distinction - it still says "FoF" and "Wishes" even for the week between Christmas and New Year's. That was always my go-to calendar, but it looks like I'll need to check both. Huh, thank you!

I see! That was probably confusing me as well, because we typically go the last 2 weeks of December and that has gone into a couple of days in January. I was likely remembering that being the schedule from those trips. This year, I have multiple shorter trips so I am trying to schedule things accordingly.

Thank you both! That clears some things up.
