Disney is announcing all the festive fun we can expect this year at the Disney World resorts and beyond!
Halfway to the Holidays
Just like Halfway to Halloween not long ago, Disney is using the Halfway to the Holidays as a time to make special announcements regarding the Christmas and holiday season at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line. In fact, they even pulled out some special treats in the parks right now to celebrate! See this post for a full list of treats and snacks to enjoy this week.
So far we have shared a brand NEW party for Hollywood Studios, dates and pricing for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and dates for Festival of the Holidays at Epcot.
Disney also shared some great news for those staying at a Disney World resort this holiday season!
Amazing Displays and Gingerbread
One of my (Monica) favorite things to do when visiting Disney World for the holidays is to head to the resorts! Many resorts love to go all out with incredible decorations and massive trees. You can check out my favorite resorts for each holiday in this post.
Trees and decor will adorn the resorts in 2023. One of my personal favorites is the tree at Wilderness Lodge! It is huge and so beautiful! Disney did not specifically list the resorts, but we can assume they will all return.
Of course the holiday season would not be complete without gingerbread! The most famous of all is the gingerbread house/store at the Grand Floridian. Because the 50th anniversary is over, the EARidescent touches will not be displayed this year like it has the last two years.
Again, Disney did not specify anything about which resorts will have gingerbread. We can assume that Beach and Yacht Club, BoardWalk Inn and Villas, and Contemporary will all have their famous gingerbread displays again! These are all unique to their own resorts in terms of theming and size.
Don’t forget! There are a slew of holiday room discounts to be had! Check them out:
Disney Springs and other Locations
The resorts aren’t the only places where festive fun can be had! Check out some returning favorites:
- Amidst the glowing holiday décor, a Merry Menagerie of winter animals returns to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park in the form of artisan-sculpted puppets.
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios will return the yuletide projection show on The Hollywood Tower Hotel this season. At Toy Story Land, you can once again spot Woody, Jessie and Buzz sporting their holiday best.
- At Disney Springs, guests can shop for their loved ones while enjoying the dazzling décor and the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll. Visitors who stop in Town Center won’t believe what they see – magical snowfall in Central Florida!
