Will we be able to resort hop to see the gingerbread house at Grand Floridian ?
gingerbread houses and displays are cancelled for this year.
How are they going to do the Castle projections with park closing early. Hopefully this means they will be staying open later in the evening.
I would imagine there won’t be any “holidays around the world” performances at Epcot this year either? Pere Noel, etc.?
And the non-magic of holidays at Disney continue…
