EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays is my favorite festival that happens at EPCOT. I know this event is extremely short, but it has a lot to offer. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved EPCOT because there’s so much to learn and see. During the holidays, a whole layer of its culture is added to each pavilion. I find learning about different festive celebrations very interesting, but the best part is trying the different foods that accompany each holiday.

We spend a lot of time raving about the holiday decorations at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, but it’s time we shine a light on the decor at Animal Kingdom. Everything here is very unique and is nothing like the other Walt Disney World theme parks. My favorite Christmas tree is the one at EPCOT, but the one at Animal Kingdom is a close second. I love the placement of all the ornaments and the theming that goes into it. It really captures the essence of the park.

The second night of Disney Jollywood Nights has come and gone, and many of the guests who attended the first night have hoped that Disney would work out all the kinks. We, along with many other guests, didn’t have the most magical night. Our group made a mistake, and Disney made a handful of errors, negatively impacting our night. Now, enough of that negative energy, I want to keep this positive.
