We know it might seem a little early, but at Disney the holiday season is already here! Holiday decorations and treats have slowly been popping up all over the parks, including Disney Springs. Check out our complete guide for celebrating the holiday season at Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is the perfect place to go if you want to get away from the parks for a little bit but still feel like you are in the Disney bubble.
Hours for Disney Springs have been extended for the holiday season. To see the updated hours, check out this post.
Extended hours begin at Disney springs beginning november 22 through january 3rd
With over 90 places to shop and more than fifty restaurants, everyone is sure to enjoy some holiday shopping and eating delicious meals.
Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar
After shopping until you drop, you may have worked up an appetite. Check out Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar. Not only is the restaurant decorated for the holidays, you can also find delicious menu items, such as the Light Deviled Eggs, Grandma’s Favorite Sliders and Milk and Cookies by the Fireside paired with Coquito and Malibu Rum.
You can check out all of the rest of the great holiday offerings available at Disney Springs here.
Disney’s PhotoPass Studio
Beginning on November 16th, guests can head to Disney’s PhotoPass Studio and get a head start on taking holiday photos.
Fun, festive virtual backdrops will be available, and of course one will feature, Santa! A special offer, “$49.99 for Memory Maker One Day” is available at this location only from November 16 through December 26, 2020. No reservations are required.

“25 Days of Christmas” Photo Op
Take advantage of another fun photo opportunity and stop by the new “25 Days of Christmas” Instagram wall located outside of Disney’s Day’s of Christmas.
Remember to tag @DisneySprings on social media by using #DisneySprings and #25DaysofChristmas.
Virtual Gift Guide
What I love most about Disney Springs is shopping! If you are struggling with ideas for gifts, be sure to check out the Disney Springs Gift Guide on Instagram.
It includes eight different gift categories for everyone on your list. With all of the stores in Disney Springs, it should not be hard to find something for just about everyone.
Christmas Tree Stroll
This year, the Christmas Tree Trail has been reimagined into the Christmas Tree Stroll. To read more about the Christmas Tree Trail, take a look at Donna’s post from last year.
It features twelve holiday themed trees, and this year guests can participate in a fun scavenger hunt. At the end of the scavenger hunt, turn in the map for a fun surprise!
The scavenger hunt is free and you can pick up a map from select retail stores, the Disney Springs Welcome Center, and Disney’s PhotoPass Studio.
More Holiday Entertainment and Santa
Everyone loves seeing the Toy Soldiers at the Magic Kingdom, but there is nothing quite like seeing the Toy Soldier stiltwalkers at Disney Springs. Look out for the Snowflake Skaters at the promenade and maybe even some snow falling down on you at night.
You will also want to keep an eye out for Santa and Mrs. Claus! The holidays are not complete without them. You might see Santa waving from his pontoon boat. Make sure you stop and wave hello!
