New Holiday Offerings at Disneyland Resort; Opening Date for New Magic Kingdom Muppets Show

New Holiday Offerings at Disneyland Resort:

The holidays are just around the corner at Disneyland Resort. The holiday offerings will begin November 10, 2016 and run through January 8, 2017. It will bring some new experiences as well as some that will return favorites we already know and love.

First up at Disney California Adventure, a brand new holiday-themed World of Color will debut. "World of Color - Season of Light" will celebrate the warm and heartfelt spirit of the holidays. It will take guests on a sparkling winter fantasy, combining classic holiday songs with memorable moments for our favorite Disney films that will create an experience filled with Disney magic.

Also new at Disney California Adventure will be the Festival of Holidays. 

The entire family will delight in diverse cultural holiday celebrations, including the popular Disney ¡Viva Navidad!, and the global sounds of special guest musical groups will ring throughout the festival. Guests will enjoy delicious, internationally inspired food and beverage at 14 themed festival marketplaces, and the young and young-at-heart will celebrate with some of their favorite Disney Characters. Princess Elena of Avalor will make her Disneyland Resort debut during Festival of Holidays, and after Holidays at the Disneyland Resort conclude January 8, she will remain at Disney California Adventure park to continue visiting with guests.

Over in Disneyland, Sleeping Beauty Castle will be transformed into Sleeping Beauty Winter Castle. It will feature magical snowfall moments and will conclude with the "Believe.....in Holiday Magic" fireworks show. Also returning will be "A Christmas Fantasy" parade, "it's a small world" Holiday, and Haunted Mansion Holiday.

Of course we can't forget about Santa, who along with his mischievous elves, will be greeting guests at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail at Disney California Adventure. In Disneyland, guests will find the jolly old elf in a special location in Critter Country.

Opening Date for New Magic Kingdom Muppets Show:

According to WDW News Today, the new Muppets Show in Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom will be debuting very soon, although nothing is official from Disney. "The Muppets Present.....Great Moments in American History" will debut on October 2, 2016 according to internal documents at Disney. 

While this is not officially announced as the opening date could always be delayed sans Rivers of Light. Stay tuned as we wait on the official word from Disney. I'm sure if this is the true date we will be hearing about it officially sooner rather than later.
