This Weekend at Walt Disney World Resort: Magic Kingdom Park Transforms for the Holidays, New Holiday Merchandise Now Available and Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Experiences

Friday is here and it’s time to share our new series featuring must-do weekend experiences at the Walt Disney World Resort.

With the start of November, we’re looking ahead to the holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort. Magic Kingdom Park will soon be completely transformed into a winter wonderland – just in time for the season’s first “A Frozen Holiday Wish” castle lighting on Nov. 3.

You can catch a live stream of the first night of the castle’s magical lighting on the Disney Parks Blog at 6:10 p.m. Eastern!

Also this weekend, Holiday merchandise is back at favorite locations throughout Walt Disney World. New items include Mickey Snowman tumblers, Candy Cane ear bands, spirit jerseys and more!

And don’t forget to visit the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival this weekend for Eat to the Beat performances by Kris Allen. Visit our special Food & Wine Festival page for details.
