Walt Disney World plans to bring holiday overlays to nine attractions at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios this season, with start and end dates varying by ride.
At Magic Kingdom, several changes will be part of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Space Mountain will feature holiday music and interior lighting, while Tomorrowland Speedway will become Tomorrowland Speedway Race with lights, futuristic holiday décor and seasonal music. Mad Tea Party will use four combinations of holiday lighting and music, and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor will add holiday humor to portions of its show.
Jungle Cruise will again become Jingle Cruise, with seasonal decorations and holiday-themed jokes from skippers. Unlike the party-exclusive overlays, Jingle Cruise will be available during regular park hours.
At EPCOT, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will use three holiday songs instead of its usual six-song rotation from November 25 through January 6, 2027. The reported lineup includes Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24” and The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping.”
Living with the Land: Glimmering Greenhouses is scheduled for November 27 through December 30 during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, adding festive lighting and decorations to the attraction’s greenhouses.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will begin two seasonal soundtrack changes on November 4. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets: Obligatory Holiday Overlay and Alien Swirling Saucers: Lilypad’s Jams are both set to run through January 6. The Muppets coaster’s holiday set will include songs featuring Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Jennifer Hudson and Cyndi Lauper, while Alien Swirling Saucers will use a seasonal playlist.
Disney Fanatic reported that the holiday treatments are temporary and that the attractions’ regular versions are expected to return after their respective runs conclude. Visitors planning a holiday trip can find Walt Disney World ticket options before choosing dates, particularly because some Magic Kingdom changes are tied to the separately scheduled Christmas party.
