The “World of Color – Season of Light” nighttime spectacular returns to DCA’s Paradise Bay with scenes from Disney animated films set to holiday music.
The Viva Navidad street party in Paradise Gardens will feature Mexican folklorico and Brazilian samba dancers, mariachis, percussionists and giant mojiganga puppets while toy drummers will provide the beat for Mickey’s Happy Holidays character procession along DCA’s parade route.

The Sip and Savor Pass good for eight food and drink selections will be back again this holiday season.
