Santa’s Workshop

 


Guests of all ages can immerse themselves in, and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of, the secret workings at Santa’s workshop! Oversized and colorful decorations and ornaments fill every corner of the big guy’s workshop, and the smell of candy and Christmas goodies fill the air. Elves run around their whimsical kitchen cooking or preparing the mountain of gifts for children all around the world. Santa will be available for one-on-one meet and greets to wish each and every guest a very merry Christmas!


‘Let It Snow’ Christmas Parade


For an awe inspiring and sensational Christmas party, Disney’s Sparkling Christmas invites guests to get down with the ultra groovy ‘Let It Snow’ Christmas Parade. A high energy procession filled with brilliant gold and silver decorations, Mickey Mouse and the Gang, Festive Elves, Chip’n Dale and many others will dance, sing and shine their way down Main Street U.S.A. in all-new costumes. Rocking versions of Christmas classics will fill the air, while snow gently drifts to the ground.



All the while, Main Street U.S.A. will be decorated in a snowy Christmas theme with frozen garlands and icicles hanging from rafters. Guests will be able to see the extravagant Christmas tree at Town Square, ornately decorated with snowflakes and an all-new white LED lighting display. Guests will be given hologram glasses, that will give them special Christmas vision, as dusk falls and the Castle lights come on.

  1. From that last pic it looks as though the 'Let it Snow' parade will be some sort of overlay of the regular Disney on Parade, at least this is the case with the first unit. This would also justify the parade being out of action for those days just before the Christmas season.
