I am planning to go on a Disney trip just me, my mom, and my aunt. We are staying there for 7 days but two of those day we aren't going to any theme parks. I have looked into Ice! in Gaylord Palms and Cirque and Blue man group but aside from that are there any events to go to in December that isn't in a park? I'm kind of looking for maybe singing or holiday kind of thing but anything else is fine.
Please help?|||Disney is often much more than what most people think it is. The truth is, Disney World is not just four theme parks, but it is also two water parks (only one will be open when you are there though), two mini-golf courses, 22 different resorts, and a shopping district. There are also plenty of holiday things going on right at Disney during the time, some of which are free. If you are looking for Singing, I would check out the Candlelight Processional in Epcot for sure. This is free, although it is not guaranteed you will get a seat. This is a spectacle that happens every night at the American Pavilion in Epcot (World Showcase). It combines music (from a live orchestra), singing (choirs) and the reading of the Christmas story by a famous figure. This is a must see. There is also Holiday's around the World, which also takes place in World Showcase. You can travel from country to country around the Showcase and learn about holiday traditions from that particular place. It is very interesting, and can take up an entire day if you want it to. Everything with the Holiday's around the world is free. There is a special party at Magic Kingdom (prices for this range) called Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It does cost, but it enables you to stay inside the Magic Kingdom for the later hours of the night, and special things go on throughout the park, including the same parade (other than the singers and such) that is broadcast on ABC every Christmas Morning. There are also stands with Hot Choco and Cookies throughout the park, along with special character meet and greets, dance parties, and more. This is worth the money, as I have been to it at least 3-4 times, and each time has been great. To round out the evening there is a special display of Wishes, called Holiday Wishes. Another great thing to do for the Holiday's at Disney is to just go around from Resort to Resort. Each of the 22 different resorts has it's own christmas tree, and some include special things going on as well, such as at the Grand Floridian, there is a giant Gingerbread house that is actually a shop, selling Gingerbread of course! Even if you don't want to spend an entire day going from resort to resort, be sure to check this one out, because it is amazing! Like I said, there are plenty of magical stuff going on at the Holiday's at Disney, and I didn't even brush the top of them! Be sure to check out all of this even if you still plan to go somewhere else.
Along with the parks, I mentioned the other things that go on as well. There will be one water park open while you are there, called Blizzard Beach. It is like a winter snowy wonderland in the middle of Florida. I suggest you check this out as well, because it is awesome. There is also a mini-golf course right next door to Blizzard Beach, called WinterSummerland. It has two different courses, each 18 holes, that are based on Santa's adventures in the snow and on the sand. Very fun! Finally there is a shopping District called Downtown Disney, where you can find plenty of shops and places to eat. I suggest spending either an afternoon or an evening there, but be warned, it can become busy!
Outside of Disney itself, there is always Seaworld, along with a large number of shows, but my suggestion is to stay in Disney. Also, be sure to stay at a Disney resort. You get the advantage of extra time in the parks each night, along with free parking if you need it. There is free transportation to and from each park and resort as well. If you have any other questions concerning especially the Disney aspect of your trip, please, send me an email or message, I would be more than happy to help you!|||In Downtown Disney, they have a Cirque Du Soleil show called La Nouba! I have never seen it, but I hear that it's amazing. Another show that Disney Hosts around Christmas time is at Epcot in the evening. So you could just see it the day you go there. It is a huge choir with a celebrity narrator. The choir stands so that their different color robes resemble a christmas tree. I've also heard that this is a really beautiful evening of songs. One day you could spend entirely of shopping! Maybe spend one day shopping at Downtown Disney. You can explore the Marketplace, West Side, and Pleasure Island. Trust me, I could spend an entire day here just shopping and eating. There is a Planet Hollywood and a Rainfoest Cafe by the way. Another thing that my mom and I love to do is, looking at the really nice and gorgeous hotels! We usually stay at a value resort, so we love to go and look at Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, Port Orleans, Animal Kingdom Lodge, etc. It's really fun just to look around, and some hotels host dinner shows or character dinners. Also, just so you know, some parks like the Magic Kingdom can take 2 days to view. Epcot as well! So, having those extra days should be a nice way to see all of what Walt DIsney World has to offer! Have a great trip!|||If you are skipping the parks for 2 days to save money, that is not the way to go. 3 five day passes are $711. 3 seven day passes are $741. So it is basically 5/day/person for those last two days.
If, on the other hand, you are skipping the parks because you can only take so much of the parks (which I can understand) then have fun.|||Well, there are plenty of Dinner shows in Orlando. It is very entertaining. Depending on whether you enjoy dining and watching a show at the same time.
There are things like Medieval Times, Arabian Nights (Don't really like it much), Pirates Dinner Show. Medieval Times is located in Kissimmee, probably would be a bit more convinient for you since you're going to be in Disney.|||i have seen cirque de sol le (sorry prob spelled it wrong) and blue man group and they were both very good shows! you will have fun at them. why ont you just go to like universal city walk or downtown disney. at night there are shows and music and food for all ages. its very entertaining and theres tons to do! hope this helped! have fun!|||Fort Wilderness hosts a campfire sing-along every evening. At the end they show a Disney movie. Unless you want to purchase hot dogs or s'more kits it used to be free (can't guarantee it still is though).
