Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap – #DisneyParksLIVE ‘A Frozen Holiday Wish’ Castle Lightning, New Plant-Based Dishes Now Available at Walt Disney World Resort and More…

This week, we shared the exciting update that we’re celebrating the return of the holiday season with a #DisneyParksLIVE stream of the debut performance of “A Frozen Holiday Wish.”   

Tonight, at 6:10 p.m. EST, you can watch the first “A Frozen Holiday Wish” castle lighting of the season right here on the Disney Parks Blog.   

As many of you know, the nightly show at Magic Kingdom Park stars the royal sisters Anna and Elsa, and their friends Olaf and Kristoff. Queen Elsa uses her magical powers to present a gift to everyone in the kingdom by transforming Cinderella Castle into a shimmering ice palace for the holidays. 

Check back tonight at 6:10 p.m. to see the live stream.  Visit Jennifer’s original ‘#DisneyParksLIVE ‘A Frozen Holiday Wish’ story and let us know where you’ll be watching from and who you’re watching with!

Also, we shared an update that hundreds of new plant-based dishes have landed on menus at Walt Disney World Resort!

Last month, we announced that all of our major quick and table service restaurants would be dishing up delectable new options at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort – accompanied by a new plant-based menu icon, a green leaf.   

Check out our original “New Plant-Based Dishes at Walt Disney World Resort” story for a special look at the dishes now on our menus.
