November at Walt Disney World is set to bring holiday ride updates, seasonal parties and a changeover at EPCOT, making several dates especially useful for visitors planning park days.
Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise is scheduled to become Jingle Cruise on Nov. 3, adding the holiday version of the attraction. On Nov. 4, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is expected to introduce holiday soundtracks at Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and Alien Swirling Saucers.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT is slated to begin its Holiday Remix on Nov. 25. According to Disney Food Blog, the overlay will use three possible songs: “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24” and “Christmas Wrapping.”
Disney’s separately ticketed holiday events are also due to begin early in the month. Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios opens Nov. 7, followed by Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom on Nov. 8. Disney World’s broader holiday season officially begins Nov. 13.
At EPCOT, the International Food & Wine Festival is scheduled to end Nov. 21. The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays follows on Nov. 27, marking a six-day gap between the two festivals.

Disney World ticket planning can also be useful when building a park itinerary around the seasonal schedule.
