Celebrating Christmas At Disney Springs

Today we will be talking about all the ways that Disney Springs is now celebrating Christmas!

Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause are now at Lake Buena Vista where they are happily waving to people.

If you want to take a picture with Santa Claus you still can! At the Disney PhotoPass Studio in Disney Springs, you can take a picture in front of a virtual backdrop that has Santa Clause.

Photo belongs to the Walt Disney World Company.

This year you are lucky enough to be seeing the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail. You can find beautifully decorated Disney Christmas trees all over the neighborhoods of Disney Springs.

In the mood for a Holiday Scavenger Hunt? Now you can do a Holiday Scavenger Hunt at Disney Springs! (Don’t worry, this scavenger hunt follows social distancing guidelines.)

Disney Springs is offering many different forms of entertainment, so you are definitely going to have a magical time while you are in Disney Springs! DJs are playing music at Waterside Stage and Exposition Park. In the evening you can watch Toy Soldier Stiltwalkers, Snowflake Skaters, and a Bell Choir. Also in the evening, while you are in Town Center and the West Side of Disney Springs, it will be snowing!!

Festival Of The Lion King Review

Festival Of The Lion King is an awesome show in Animal Kingdom!

Update: Due to the corona virus pandemic, Festival Of The Lion King now has physical distancing guidelines.

Tip: Festival Of The Lion King has VERY long lines to get into the show. You want to make sure you know the time of when the show starts and try to get in line early so you don’t wait for a long time.

In Festival Of The Lion King, you sit in a large room with other people and watch a live show celebrating Simba. Each section of seats is separated into sections. You will either sit in the elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion sections. Your job is to make noises like either an elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion. No one ever knows what sound a warthog or a giraffe makes.

You will hear songs from The Lion King Movie sung live, crazy trampoline acrobatics, and you will even see FIRE! (Don’t worry, nothing will catch on fire.)

If you like this video you can go to my DisneywithIzzy YouTube channel to watch more videos! Don’t forget to subscribe!

Every year we go to Disney World (except we couldn’t go this year because of the pandemic), and my family and I always see this show. We never get tired of it. Festival Of The Lion King is a very upbeat and happy show that puts you in a good mood.

Another great thing about this show is that because it is indoors it has AIR CONDITIONING and if you are going to Disney World in the summer, you are going to be so happy to cool off during the show.

The World According To Jeff Goldblum Review

The World According To Jeff Goldblum is a show that will make you curious about the world.

Jeff Goldblum learns all there is to know about things from sneakers, to ice cream, to gaming. In this show, you will learn the backstory about how things were made and how this item has evolved over time. I really like how the show is not serious and it’s very funny! This show will definitely not make you bored.

Anyone can watch this show because there are so many different topics to watch that you can learn about something that really interests you. You might want to ask your parents first if it is ok for you to watch the episode about tattoos. My brother, Al, LOVES this show! He watches it all the time on his ipad!

The World According To Jeff Goldblum gets 5 Mickey Bars!

Park Hopper Option Is Coming Back To Disney World On January 1st!

The Park Hopper option is currently unavailable due to the pandemic, but it is coming back!

You will be able to visit Animal Kingdom….

Starting January 1, 2021 if you purchase a ticket or annual pass with Park Hopper benefits you can visit more than one park in one day. This is great news because right now you can only visit one park in a day.

As Disney World continues its phased reopening, I will tell you about what is coming back to the Disney World parks!

One Day At Disney Shorts Review

One Day At Disney Shorts is a great show if you want to know what is going on behind the scenes in Disney World!

In this show, you get to learn about the people that work at Disney. You get to see how these people do their jobs and you get to hear personal stories.

What I like about this show is how you can learn about many different jobs. You can learn about the CEO of Disney, a storybook artist, a candy maker, the Radio Disney host, and so much more! If you like Magic Of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, than I think you should try One Day At Disney Shorts. Even if you do not like Magic Of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I think you will still enjoy this show.

Another great thing about this show is that every episode is only four, five, six, seven, or eight minutes long so you can watch a bunch of episodes!

I give One Day At Disney Shorts 5 Mickey Bars!

Also, on November 12, 2020 Disney+ celebrated its 1 year anniversary! Congratulations Disney+!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Is Canceled This Year

Just like how Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party was canceled, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas will also be canceled.

Every year at Disney Resorts you can see amazing gingerbread displays but this year you will not be able to see those displays. In Epcot, the famous Candlelight Processional will be canceled this year. A celebrity would host the event and tell the Christmas story with a choir and fifty piece orchestra.

Here is a list of all the modified Christmas plans from now until December 30, 2020.

All over the Walt Disney World Resort you can see some festive decorations, themed merchandise, seasonal food, drinks, and entertainment. Each Disney park and Disney Springs are all focusing on the holidays. Santa Clause is also having special appearances.

At night, Cinderella’s Castle in Magic Kingdom has projection effects. Cinderella’s Castle changes into different designs that are rotating such as a Christmas sweater and gold, red, and green ornamentation.

Not everything is canceled. Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays and Disney Springs’ Christmas Tree display are coming back! Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays is coming back on November 27, 2020. Joyful! inside World ShowPlace and Voices of Liberty at the American Gardens Theater Stage will be returning.

Even though Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is not happening this year, at least you can enjoy the Christmas decorations and more at Disney World!

Magic Of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Review

Every episode of this new show will make you feel like you are also in Animal Kingdom!

In this show you will be able to learn more about the animals in Animal Kingdom. You will see the animals mating, sometimes getting surgery, or cast members celebrating animals birthdays. This show brings you behind the scenes of what happens in Animal Kingdom with the animals we see on the Kilimanjaro Safari.

In one of the episodes, you will learn more about elephants!

I love learning about animals so this show is amazing! This show definitely educates you about animals in a fun way that your entire family will enjoy.

The Muppets Are Back For Christmas!

At the end of last year, The Muppets Present Great Moments of History show was closed. The Muppets came back earlier this year for President’s Day Weekend and they are now back again for Christmas!

The Muppets Present Great Moments of History was a show in Liberty Square where the Muppets would sing songs and sign The Declaration of Independence.

This time, instead of singing songs about Independence, the Muppets are singing “Jingle Bell Rock”. Gonzo and his chickens are now shaking jingle bells. The paneling below The Muppets is red, green, and decorated with candy canes and Christmas trees. I think this is a great idea to bring back the Muppets because they were such an important part of Liberty Square.

Be sure to see the Muppets while they are in Liberty Square and take a lot of pictures!

Maleficent Review

This story will make you rethink the Sleeping Beauty story.

The movie Maleficent gives you the backstory about Maleficent. You get to learn about what she was like as a child, how she lost her wings, and the events that happened leading up to Aurora pricking her finger.

I really enjoyed this movie because there are plot twists that you weren’t expecting. I also like how instead of making the Sleeping Beauty story all over again Disney came up with a new way to see the story.

If you love Disney villains and learning the backstories about them then watch this movie!! If you have a younger sibling that gets scared easily then maybe they shouldn’t watch this movie.

Maleficent gets 5 Mickey Bars!!!

The Mandalorian Review

The Mandalorain is a Star Wars show that you can only watch on Disney+.

A Mandalorian bounty hunter is on a mission to track down a target. Once he meets the target though, he finds bringing it to his boss harder than he expected. The Mandalorian and the target (Baby Yoda!) go on different missions together to run away from The Mandalorian’s boss who wants Baby Yoda.

I really like this show because it really feels like you are in the Star Wars world. It also feels like you’re watching a Star Wars movie.

I think if you like Star Wars then you should definitely watch this show. If you don’t like Star Wars then I don’t think you should watch this show. The Mandalorian definitely gets 5 Mickey Bars!

Season 2 of The Mandalorian is coming out on October 30!
