If there is one thing that the Disney Parks excel at, it is holiday offerings. From beautiful decorations, special experiences, rare characters, and even a visit with Santa Claus.

There are so many ways to experience the beauty of the holidays, from visiting the parks, meeting Santa Claus at Disney Springs, and, of course, the International Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT.

Walt Disney World also offers two special ticketed events for the holidays with Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

There are many special tours that Walt Disney World guests can enjoy to experience the parks like never before. Last year, EPCOT introduced a new overlay to the popular "Behind the Seeds" tour.

Guests can enjoy a limited-time walking tour through the "Glimmering Greenhouses at The Land Pavilion." This tour starts on November 28 and runs through December 30, 2025.

During this one-hour tour, guests will learn about the crops that bring festive flavors to our holiday traditions, explore hydroponic greenhouses, and discover growing techniques to bring the Glimmering Greenhouses to life.

Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses

This is different from the "Behind the Seeds" tour offered throughout the day and is only offered at 6:00 pm, 7:00 pm, and 8:00 pm. Advanced reservations are highly recommended and can be made online or with the My Disney Experience app.

Reservations open starting October 9, 2025.

This tour is available for guests ages 3 and up. Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Based on the timing of this tour, be ready to enjoy some beautiful light displays during this tour.

Pricing is not available for this tour, but last year, pricing was set at $45 (plus tax) per guest. Reservations open starting October 9, 2025.
