According to the reservation calendar, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can no longer make park reservations for Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024.

Christmas Day is a peak attendance period for Walt Disney World

The holiday date has reached capacity for passholders, though reservations remain open for all other parks, including EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Reservations for Magic Kingdom are still available for guests staying at Disney resorts or those with regular theme park tickets. However, passholders hoping to visit Magic Kingdom will need to look to the other parks unless reservations reopen at a later time. Passholders may also be able to park hop to enter Magic Kingdom.

In addition, New Year's Eve, December 31, 2024, is now fully booked for Magic Kingdom for both resort guests and regular theme park tickets. This is typically one of the busiest days of the year at Walt Disney World, as crowds gather to ring in the new year with special entertainment and fireworks. Interestingly, annual passholders are still available on this date at Magic Kingdom.

Securing your park passes early remains the key if you're planning a holiday visit to Magic Kingdom. Keep an eye on the reservation system for potential changes, as availability may fluctuate in the coming weeks.

This entire forum is trivial. Everything we talk about here is insignificant in the grand scheme of the things. Just because something isn’t important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important to others. I’m sure there are things you place importance in that others don’t care about.

Glad we booked Biergarten!

Diamond Horseshoe and Biergarten have full decor. And La Hacienda de San Angel has minimal decor but has at least wreaths. There might be more but there’s at least still some table service restaurants that decorate.

You know, looking back on it, Disney always had a sort of certain charm in the 70's and early 80's with its notable C List celebrities they'd get to appear in TV specials like this. And with the odd exception of Elton John, that is definitely a C List. But somehow, when it's actually happening, the C Listers of today aren't as charming at the time as they'll be 20 years from now. Also, I'm pretty sure a couple names on that guest list are going to be mentioned in the upcoming Sean Combs trial.

I looked at the 17th; but when I compare the cost for two of us to attend vs. the price of a Pixie Pass, it gives me pause. It’s just a few dollars less. We are going 12/16-12/18 and 12/24-12/26. The price of single day tickets to go on Christmas are also almost as much as a Pixie Pass, and you can’t buy tickets for Christmas and then apply them to an AP upgrade that would black out Christmas. So it’s looking like a Disney Springs or resort holiday unless I break down at the last minute.

What’s baffling to me is this bothering you. You act like it’s important. It’s trivial. Now you’re getting it.

It doesn't seem like Disney is decorating any F&B locations anymore. I have noticed that all decor has returned to Merchandise locations though.

It's funny that after Disney left to create their own cruise line Warner Bros took over the Big Red Boat..

The first "Disney Cruise Line", Premier Cruise Line. I did a high school senior cruise with them from Port Canaveral to Nassau and back.

Seth still gets paid by Disney for Family Guy (and American Dad too - since Disney produces both). And technically The Orville isn'r dead 100% either... It is a sad guest list though, that I agree.
