Why Christmas in Orlando Stands Apart
Orlando hosts the largest concentration of theme-park holiday programming in the world, with each major park staging its own distinct seasonal overlay. The combination of Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, and the surrounding attractions makes Orlando the most-visited single holiday destination in the United States.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: The Magic Kingdom's separately-ticketed evening event includes the Christmas Day parade, a fireworks show, and a snow effect on Main Street, U.S.A.
Universal Holidays and SeaWorld Christmas: Universal's holiday programming includes the Wizarding World of Harry Potter's Christmas overlay and Macy's Holiday Parade balloons, while SeaWorld runs the country's longest seasonal program at a marine park.
ICE! at Gaylord Palms: The Kissimmee resort's walk-through ice sculpture exhibit kept at 9°F is one of the most unusual indoor installations on the holiday circuit.
Mills 50 and Florida Citrus: Orlando's Vietnamese district along Colonial Drive, Cuban bakeries across the suburbs, and Florida citrus stands along the highways give the season a working-Florida character distinct from the theme-park overlays.
