It’s been a big year of change at Walt Disney World. Some longtime favorites have either closed or are preparing to say goodbye soon. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is on its final lap before a major overhaul. MuppetVision 3D has officially taken its last bow. And Tom Sawyer Island—a quiet, nostalgic corner of Magic Kingdom—has quietly faded from the map.For fans who grew up with these experiences, it’s been a bittersweet stretch. There’s always excitement for what’s next, but it’s hard not to feel nostalgic when so many familiar attractions are stepping aside.Thankfully, Disney isn’t just about removing the old—it’s also about bringing back the things guests truly love. And this year, one beloved ride overlay is making its grand return.Credit: Inside the MagicHoliday Chaos Returns to the JungleIt’s official: Jingle Cruise is sailing back into Magic Kingdom for the 2025 holiday season. This festive overlay of the classic Jungle Cruise ride has become a must-do for guests who visit during November and December, combining corny skipper jokes with garland, gifts, and jungle-themed cheer.Every corner of the queue is transformed, with tongue-in-cheek Christmas cards, misplaced packages, and other holiday mishaps. The ride itself doesn’t change its path, but the narration and decorations give it an entirely new—and delightfully ridiculous—personality.Credit: DisneyMore Festive Fun Across the ParksDisney also confirmed several returning holiday favorites across all four parks:Frozen Holiday Surprise at Magic Kingdom will once again light up Cinderella Castle with snow-covered magic.Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming back, though exact dates and pricing haven’t been revealed just yet.Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios is also returning, offering after-hours entertainment, rare character appearances, and special holiday treats.EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays will run from November 28 to December 30, featuring seasonal kitchens, the Candlelight Processional, and holiday-themed overlays on rides like Living with the Land.Animal Kingdom brings back the Merry Menagerie puppets and nighttime Tree of Life projections.Credit: Jess Colopy, Inside the MagicMore Announcements Coming SoonDisney has promised that even more announcements are on the way—possibly this week or next.
