Give them all a tight hug when you see them and snap a couple of photos with them in their adorable winter outfits, so you can look back at your amazing time here even after you’ve left.

After meeting the classic characters, brighten up your night and dance along with a procession of characters including Tinker Bell, Ariel, Belle, Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody and Mike and Sulley as they parade down Main Street U.S.A at the “Disney Paint the Night” Nighttime Spectacular.

The night isn’t over even though the parade has ended!

Grab some dinner in the park before the epic finale. With a plethora of restaurants offering Western, Chinese, Vegetarian, and other International cuisines, there’s something for everyone!  If you’d like something festive, head to Corner Cafe for a special Christmas meal!
