Christmas at Disney World
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 holidayswith Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Special Holiday Tour
There are many special tours that Walt Disney World guests can enjoy to experience the parks like never before. In 2024, 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 27 and runs through December 30, 2026.
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.
