Elton John took center stage at Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle last night, recording a special performance for ABC's upcoming holiday specials.

In addition to Elton John's performance, yesterday's recordings featured several Broadway stars who brought their talents to Main Street, U.S.A. as part of specials. 



Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade also made its way down Main Street during the daytime as it was recorded for the Christmas Day broadcast.

Disney has not yet announced the official air dates for these holiday specials, so stay tuned for more information on performances, dates, and streaming availability on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Yacht Club does not have the Gingerbread Lighthouse this year, just the Christmas Village display. The Beach Club has the carousel and the little store with treats.

Trust me. There is nothing special about these cookies. They're grocery store cookies individually wrapped. The got rid of plastic straws and started wrapping individual cookies in cellophane. 🙄 If you're going with kids who want to drag you into a line for these cookies... bring your own.

December 8 is the next Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party date that has now sold out. Currently all remaining dates for Jollywood Nights still have tickets available, including the event tonight.

Are there no Snickerdoodle this year?

Agree, and it's a low cost show. Not much pyro, and not a large tech labor requirement.

We don’t. They really should show JBJB during that peak week. Two Fantasmic! showings is no where near enough for those guest numbers.

Probably because it was new that year. Do we know if it'll be public after the season this year?
