The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Review

If you are looking for something to watch to celebrate Christmas, then you should watch The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+!

The Guardians want this Christmas to be perfect for Quill. They head to Earth to look for a Christmas present for him.

I thought that The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was ok. It was not something I would watch again, but it is something nice to watch once. I enjoyed seeing how the Guardians reacted to being on Earth and this will definitely put you in the holiday mood.

I would give The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special 4 Mickey Bars!

You Should Watch These Movies On Disney+ For Christmas

Merry Christmas! Are you looking for something Christmas themed to watch for Christmas? Well, I have a whole list for you!

First is The Muppet Christmas Carol. The Muppets retell the story of A Christmas Carol with the Muppets acting as characters from the book. The Muppet Christmas Carol gets 5 Mickey Bars! If you are looking for a classic Christmas movie, then watch this!

Noelle is about Kris Kringle’s daughter Noelle. She is the daughter of Santa Claus and this year her brother is training to become the next Santa Claus. The only problem is Noelle’s brother is really stressed out from all the pressure, so Noelle says he should take a break. When he doesn’t return, Noelle goes on a mission to find her brother. This movie gets 5 Mickey Bars! The ending really surprised me.

Lego Star Wars Holiday Special follows Rey as she prepares to celebrate Life Day. Rey and BB-8 go to a Jedi Temple so Rey can become a better Jedi teacher, but she finds this portal that brings her to different time periods in Star Wars history. I would give Lego Star Wars Holiday Special 4 Mickey Bars! I did like seeing all the different scenes from the Star Wars movies, but it was a little too silly for me. Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is not related to Christmas but you can still watch it during Christmas.

I hope that you find a Christmas movie that you and your family will enjoy on Disney+!

My Disney (And Universal) Christmas Ornaments!

Christmas is right around the corner and I wanted to share with you guys my Disney and Universal Christmas Ornaments that are currently hanging on our Christmas tree!

My favorite Christmas ornament is this Pooh Bear ornament. Pooh Bear is hanging from a blue balloon.

This ornament has Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck. The top of the ornament has a cute green ribbon.

This ornament has Woody and Buzz Lightyear next to Christmas presents.

This ornament is a little creepy. It’s an ornament of Baby Yoda.

Every time I see this Darth Vader ornament, I feel like he’s watching me.

This ornament is of BB8. It’s my favorite Star Wars ornament.

This ornament is a Universal ornament, not a Disney ornament. It’s a minion holding a stocking with the name Dave written on it.

This is a globe with Mickey and Minnie Mouse inside it. They both are holding candy canes.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Disney and Universal ornaments as well as my globe with Mickey and Minnie in it!

Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic Review

Have you ever wondered how Disney World or Disneyland decorates for the holidays? Well, now you can find out!

Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic is a one hour holiday special that brings you behind the scenes to see how Disney World and Disneyland are decorated for the holidays. You will see how It’s A Small World in Disneyland gets redecorated for the holidays, the spectacular Gingerbread display in Disney’s Grand Floridan Resort And Spa in Disney World and how it is made, how The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland gets decorated for the holidays, and much more!

I loved Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic because it really makes you feel like you are in Disney World or Disneyland. Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic will put you in a holiday mood! The entire family can watch this holiday special.

If you like Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic, than I recommend watching Magic Of Disney’s Animal Kingdom or One Day At Disney Shorts because both shows also give you a behind the scenes look at Disney World.

Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic gets 5 Mickey Bars!!

You Can Watch Last Year’s Candlelight Processional While At Home

During Candlelight Processional, a celebrity would host the event and tell the story of Christmas with a choir and fifty piece orchestra. This year, unfortunately, Candlelight Processional had to be canceled.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t see Candlelight Processional this year though! You can watch last year’s Candlelight Processional on the Disney Parks Blog website. The Candlelight Processional in the video, on the Disney Parks Blog, was filmed in 2019 and the narrator is Neil Patrick Harris. Becky Cline from the Walt Disney World Archives will be sharing the history of Candlelight Processional and why so many people love it.

I have never seen Candlelight Processional before, so I am excited to be seeing it for the first time!

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.

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!!

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.

The Candlelight Processional.

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!
