“Welcome back,” says the Watsu therapist as I open my eyes. We’re in a dimly lit room, under a domed ceiling freckled with LED lights that mimic constellations. As we emerge out of the circular pool, I feel like I’ve truly been transported out of the space. I'm at JOALI Being, a pampering wellness resort in the Maldives. It might seem an unlikely spot to experience a mind-body epiphany, and yet Watsu—a trademarked, massage-like treatment that takes place in water—has revealed to me much more than a massage (or even a therapy session, to be honest) ever has.
Disney World and Disneyland holiday details revealed, including the return of Jollywood Nights
13.07.2024 - 04:57 / thepointsguy.com
It may seem too soon for talk of Santa, snowmen and holiday spirit, but we're officially more than halfway to the holidays. Disney is unwrapping the details of upcoming winter holiday celebrations at Walt Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in Anaheim, California. This includes the return of an exciting after-hours party that debuted last year at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Each holiday season, Disney World outdoes itself with more lights, decorations and ways to celebrate all that's merry and bright. This year is no exception.
Visitors will enjoy resortwide holiday decor, festive character costumes, limited-time seasonal treats and the opportunity to meet Santa at all four theme parks. Additionally, Disney announced that Disney Jollywood Nights will return to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Between that and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney World visitors are in for a double dose of after-hours merriment.
Even if you don't attend one of Disney World's after-hours parties, every park and resort hotel will have decor, special treats and festivities to ring in the holiday season.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a separately ticketed event at Magic Kingdom after the park closes to daytime guests. The party starts at 7 p.m., but guests can enter Magic Kingdom up to three hours early to sneak in a few attractions before the party officially begins.
This year, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will take place on 25 select nights beginning Nov. 8 and running through Dec. 20. Ticket prices vary based on the date you select but range from $169 to $219 per person. (Disney World annual pass holders and Disney Vacation Club members can save $10 on tickets.)

Tickets are on sale now. All dates are available as of the time of writing. Official event dates include:
During the party, guests can experience holiday stage shows like "Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration," "Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks" and "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade." Each evening at 8:15 p.m., guests can join Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and the adorable Snowgies as they illuminate Cinderella Castle during "Frozen Holiday Surprise."
There will also be two dance parties in Tomorrowland: Disney Junior Jingle Jam at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe for young kids and Club Tinsel at the Rockettower Plaza Stage with Disney characters in their holiday best. Plus, there will be photo opportunities, character meet-and-greets and opportunities to ride Magic Kingdom attractions, including the new Tron Lightcycle / Run coaster, with shorter waits
