Diwali Dance Fest 2024 Promises Three Days of Magic at Walt Disney World
With the holiday season on the horizon, Walt Disney World is starting to come alive with festive decorations, seasonal events, and, of course, a ton of new merchandise.
While much of the resort’s festivities are centered on Christmas, that is not the only holiday that Disney is shining a light on.
For example, earlier today, we announced that Diwali decorations had arrived at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Now, I am happy to report that more experiences celebrating the festival of light are on the way.
