Published on December 29, 2016 by donng

Disney World vacations are most often thought of as family experiences that create memories to last a lifetime.

One of the most frequent questions I get about a Walt Disney World vacation is about the FastPass+ system. It can be a bit confusing.

There’s nothing quite like strolling along Main Street USA with Christmas music playing in the background (and it might even be snowing!!).

Each of the parks has its own holiday traditions & decor. Hit the jump to see how you could be spending the holidays at Walt Disney World.
