This week, the Disney Parks Blog gave us all a wonderful gift - the 12 Days of Disney Parks Christmas! Between December 4th and December 16th, the official blog of Disney Parks is giving us updates about announcements made earlier this year at D23, exclusive glimpses of new attractions and lands, information on special events, and more for Walt Disney World®, Disneyland®, Disney Cruise Line®, Aulani®, and even the overseas parks. We'll capture them all here in ICYMI over the next few weeks. But first, a few updates that weren't part of the 12 Days of Disney Parks celebration.
Shortly after we hit publish in the ICYMI post last week, Walt Disney World® announced that for the first time in forever, FastPass+ selections for Frozen Ever After are now available from 9 am.
Heads up if you're going to be in Walt Disney World® on December 17th or 22nd. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is now sold out for those dates.

If you're going to be in Walt Disney World® in January and have plans to attend Epcot International Festival of the Arts, you might be interested in the performer lineup for the "Disney on Broadway" series.
And now for the 12 Days of Disney Parks Christmas announcements!

On the second day of Disney Parks Christmas, the blog gave to us...an exclusive look at the concept art for the enhancements coming to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort® in Summer 2018. This was the first Walt Disney Resort® I ever stayed at, so it holds a special place in my heart. The new waterfront dining makes me want to go back!

On the third day of Disney Parks Christmas, the blog gave to us...TWO announcements! The first announcement shared news about Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. The festival returns March 2nd for an expanded six weeks. The second bit of news the blog shared was that Toy Story Land will open at Disneyland Shanghai on April 26, 2018!
