Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World has introduced a brand new Christmas exhibit for 2025.

As the holiday season begins at Walt Disney World, visitors arriving over Thanksgiving weekend in 2025 will find a notable update: Santa Claus will start greeting guests at Magic Kingdom during regular park hours beginning on Thanksgiving Day (November 27th).

But according to Disney’s own financial team, those days are slipping further into the past. And now, the company isn’t even pretending otherwise.
Disney Parks attendance is plummeting in the summer, but the company’s SEC filings say differently.
