Frozen Holiday Surprise during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
Posted: Tuesday November 5, 2024 11:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Magic Kingdom visitors can catch a bit of early holiday magic tonight as "Frozen Holiday Surprise" begins its run ahead of schedule. Originally set to debut on November 12, Disney has opted to bring the seasonal spectacle to guests starting this evening, November 5.

According to the My Disney Experience app, tonight's "Frozen Holiday Surprise" will begin at 6:15 pm. On Friday, the opening night of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, there will be two performances, at 6:15 pm and again at 8:15 pm, exclusively for partygoers.

The projection-based stage show begins when Olaf and over 100 of his snowgie siblings add garlands, ornaments, wreaths, and more to Cinderella Castle.

Next, Anna, Elsa and Kristoff appear on stage with Olaf—all decked out in their holiday best. The festivities culminate as Elsa adds the finishing touches with her ice magic, transforming Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace.

That’s…special. Should’ve come down when Festival of the Holidays ended.

EPCOT still has holiday decor up today on day one of Festival of the Arts.

Can't. They first need to have the brand-new Mickey's Egg-stravaganza Easter parties, followed by the debuting Mickey's Summer-tastic Party. Only then can they think about Halloween parties in early August.

EPCOT today still has the American Adventure Tree and most its its entrance and World Showcase decor up. It is going to be a busy night tonight!

Not Halfway to Halloween. Halfway to Halfway to Halloween. That should be like right now! They should have parties!

Keep decorations up for Chinese New Years!!

They have in the past (though not last year, I don’t think). Some years, there were even special treats that week in April.

Perhaps they’re just a little early for Christmas 2025.

Lol, well a lot more would be better if WDW was like Tokyo lol, but anyway. It is a shame WDW doesn’t do more for Easter.
