Hey there, Disney planning friends! I don’t know about you, but my house is already busy making plans for this year’s Halloween and holiday celebrations in the Disney Parks, and I can’t wait to get back to all the things I love most about these two magical seasons. Even with months still to go until Christmas, I’ve always believed it’s never too early to start getting into the details and setting up everything you need to make the magic happen. So whenever Disney shares even the smallest new detail about its holiday offerings, you can bet I’m soaking it all in like a sponge.
Earlier this week, Disney gave us a first look at some of the special photo opportunities that will be available when Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights return this year, and I have to say, I love these little extras. Disney’s seasonal photography moments are the kind of keepsakes that stay with you long after the trip is over. They become the visual reminders of those special nights, tucked away in your camera roll or framed at home, ready to bring all those holiday memories rushing back when the season rolls around again. If you’re planning to attend either event this year, these are absolutely the kinds of moments worth making time for. Let’s take a look at some of the festive photo ops you’ll be able to enjoy during your visit.





I absolutely love the photo opportunities at night with all those sparkling lights in the background. They always look so effortless when you see the finished result, but we all know how tricky those kinds of shots can be to capture on your phone or even with a handheld camera. Disney’s photographers do such a beautiful job of framing your family alongside every glowing little detail, somehow balancing the lighting, the atmosphere, and the magic of the moment all at once. When they get it right, each photo feels less like a quick vacation snapshot and more like a little piece of art you get to take home with you.
