It’s the most wonderful, holly, jolly time of the year!
We spent last weekend partying it UP in Disney World, holiday-style. We went to both Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season, and we had a blast. Two nights filled with sweet treats, exclusive entertainment, rare characters, and staying up WAY past our bedtimes. And you know what happens when you stay up late all weekend? Silly little things you spot in the parks start to seem a lot funnier.
If you’re heading to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year, make sure to stop by Storybook Circus in the back corner of Magic Kingdom. Why? Because there’s a very special guest back there!
Yep, Santa Claus has temporarily left the North Pole to station himself in Storybook Circus (he can’t spend ALL his free time freezing his tootsies off up north!). But if you head over to visit Santa, you’ll also pass some of Magic Kingdom’s most iconic new additions…the Smellephants on Parade.
And apparently, Disney decided the Smellephants needed a little bit of holiday spirit, because they decided to accent the cotton candy one with its own personal snoap machine. But not any of the other statues…just this one. He’s special, clearly!

Why is this one Smellephant so special? We have no clue — cotton candy isn’t even a holiday scent! All we know is that we could’ve stood here for an hour rocking out with this horn-playing, snow-blowing festive king. Is this the new highlight of the holiday season? They should add it to the party map.
There are only a select few places in Disney World where you can experience snoap during the holiday season, and now we can add one Smellephant to that exclusive club. We’re picturing midnight raves with the elephants — who’s in? Maybe Disney should add him to Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade — he deserves his own float for sure.
So if you’re visiting Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and you want a snoap machine all to yourself, make sure to stop by Smellephants on Parade, the clear winner and highlight of the night! ELEPHANT RAVE!
