Disney's 2026 holiday foodie guide lists 11 items at Santa's Holiday Grove, 10 of them new, from November 13 through January 3. Five other Animal Kingdom dining spots start a week earlier on November 6, Hollywood Studios starts November 7 and most of Magic Kingdom starts November 8. No prices are listed yet.
Disney World has posted park hours for December 21 to 31. Magic Kingdom currently opens at 9am every day, an hour later than last Christmas week, and closes at 10pm most nights and midnight on December 30 and New Year's Eve. These are early listings, and hours often grow closer to the date.
Disney's own listing now says Meet Ariel at Walt Disney Presents is temporarily unavailable from October 28, with Ariel greeting guests at Echo Lake near 50's Prime Time Cafe. No hours are posted for October 27, and last year she did not move back until January 12.
Animal Kingdom was posted at 8am-6pm for all of November 1 to 8. Five of those days now run later, two of them to 8pm. Magic Kingdom adds an hour on Saturday, November 7, and Hollywood Studios opens at 8:30am that morning.
Disney World's ticket calendar now shows Saturday, November 7 as sold out for Disney Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios. It is the first 2026 date to go, and last year's opening night did not sell out until 21 days before the party.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets plays holiday-inspired tracks with Jennifer Hudson, Cyndi Lauper, Kermit and Fozzie from November 4 to January 6. Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT brings back holiday music for the first time since 2022, shuffling three Christmas songs from November 25, though Disney's own post gives two different end dates.
