Walt Disney World has numerous ways to soak in the holiday spirit, from Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Disney Springs kicked off the holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort with a ceremonial tree lighting on Friday. This absolutely gorgeous Christmas tree stands 45 feet tall!
The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll features 21 trees with Disney-inspired themes such as the movie Coco, with vibrant papel picado, Star Wars, featuring iconic imagery, and the movie Toy Story, adorned with playful ornaments. Guests with a MagicBand+ can interact with most Christmas trees to reveal fun surprises along the stroll.
New this year, interactive storytelling window displays are located outside the World of Disney store. The windows celebrate the classic tradition of writing letters to Santa and feature beloved Disney characters. Guests can tap their MagicBand+ to unlock unique animations and surprises in these new displays.
A new Santa Claus greeting location in the marketplace invites families to take festive photos with Santa. The cozy setting, filled with cheerful decorations and holiday music, creates a perfect backdrop for memorable family photos. Guests can join a virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app to meet Santa now through December 24.
The holiday festivities at Disney Springs run through December 30, 2024.
