When we accessed the calendar, we discovered that you can only open the door for that day. However, since it’s only the first day of the advent calendar, it’s unclear if you can open doors from the previous day.
As today is December 1, we opened the door marked “1” and received a special surprise- a downloadable GIF of Goofy from a holiday parade! Every day brings a new surprise, so keep checking back each day to see what you can find!
