We’ve loved seeing our favorite characters ride (or in poor Elsa’s case…WALK by herself!) around World Showcase in EPCOT.
While we didn’t see a Halloween themed Promenade make its way around World Showcase, we now know what festive character experiences we’ll see this Holiday Season!
We already know that the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will be making its return to the park this season. In fact, we just shared all the booths we can expect to see when it opens (we’re coming for you Warm Brown Sugar Stuffed Pretzel with Soft-Serve Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce and Sweet Potato Casserole Funnel Cake!). Now, we know WHO we can spot while we’re eating way too many awesome Holiday foods.
- Santa Claus Promenade – Come see Old St. Nick take a grand tour around World Showcase in his horse-drawn carriage calling out happy holiday wishes to all. (Note that Santa will only be around through December 24th!)
- Mickey and Friends Holiday World Tour – Keep your eyes peeled for Mickey Mouse and his friends, dressed in their seasonal finest and waving to pals like you throughout the World Showcase. (Note, the current version of Mickey’s Promenade will run until November 27th when their festive gear will come out! They will be in costume through December 30th.)
- Frozen Holiday Promenade – The Holiday spirit is in the air as Queen Anna and Elsa ring in the season at Epcot, journeying from country to country and waving to their fans along the way. (You can still see Anna and Elsa in their current Promenade until November 27th! The holiday edition of the promenade will roll through December 30th.)
Additionally, the Princess Promenade we’ve seen roll around will continue on through the Holidays.
That’ll be so cool to spot Santa making his way around World Showcase this season! Maybe if we play our cards right, he’ll shout out if we made it on the nice list this year. Here’s hoping! 😉
