Witness the Magic

On October 31 you can spend the evening at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, then wake up on November 1 and it’s Christmas around the resort!  Overnight, the amazing Disney Cast Members descend upon Disney World, and it transforms into a captivating wonderland of lights, colors, and decorations. It really is like magic!

Magical Extras Around the Resorts

While the Christmas season brings its own special charm to the Disney World theme parks, the resorts and Disney Springs get into the spirit as well.  The magic is not lost when you step outside the parks. 

Disney Springs, a shopping and dining district on property, hosts a Christmas Tree Stroll free to visitors.  Dozens of trees are up and decorated with fun as well as elegant theming for the enjoyment of guests.

At some Disney Deluxe Resorts, the culinary team works hard all year to plan and build giant intricate gingerbread structures.  These show pieces are themed according to the resort lobby they centerpiece.  For example, walk through a Victorian home made of gingerbread at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.  You can admire a gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club

All with no theme park ticket required.  The experiences outside the parks are free to visitors to the property.  Better still, stay at a Skyliner resort for easy access to the beautiful decorations at other Disney resorts!

Special Holiday Treats and Sips

Disney World’s culinary team takes center stage again when it comes to holiday treats.  From Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays with its unique global festive cuisine and cookie stroll to unique themed snacks and sips around property, there’s something to delight even the biggest Scrouge!
