As we leave Halloween behind us, Christmas decorations are arriving at Magic Kingdom. The jack-o’-lanterns and fall banners are gone, replaced with garland, wreaths, and more adorning Main Street, U.S.A.
Transportation and Ticket Center
Before heading to Magic Kingdom, the Transportation and Ticket Center has a sign up for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
The after-hours party is on select nights from November 9 through December 22, 2023.
Entrance & Train Station
The Mickey flower bed in front of the Main Street U.S.A. train station is now red and green.
Garland with big red bows lines the train station railing.
Garlands cover the entrances to the park.
The garlands and wreaths match, with the same adornments and red bows.
The park’s giant Christmas tree has not yet been installed in Town Square.
But other decorations are visible from the train station.
Garlands cover the other side of the train station, too.
