When guests make their way through the park’s entrance gates, they will be greeted with a DJ spinning a mix of popular holiday tunes. Heading down the Sunset Boulevard toward The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, an all-new show will take place at the Theater of the Stars. Disney said Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy will host the Rockettes-style show as guest stars, including Tiana, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse take the stage with a live band. Belle will end the show singing “As Long as There’s Christmas.”
Not far away, glitz and glamor galore will be found in a jazz lounge at The Hollywood Brown Derby while an other-worldly soiree will be happening at The Hollywood Tower Hotel Courtyard.
Several Disney characters, dressed in their holiday best, will also be on hand around the park to take pictures with.
In Animation Courtyard, guests will find Mickey and Minnie Mouse and the rest of the iconic gang posing in brand new outfits in a holiday setting, Powerline Max and Phineas and Ferb at Echo Lake near the Christmas Tree and Edna Mode and Frozone at Pixar Plaza.
Over at the Hyperion Theater, Disney announced that a “Nightmare Before Christmas” sing-along will invade the theater during the event. Guests will see Oogie Boogie, Jack Skellington and others as they sing some of the film’s most popular songs including What’s This?, Kidnap The Sandy Claws and Oogie Boogie’s song.
