Disney Springs Holiday Celebration 2024. Gingerbread Houses & Carousels, Epcot Festival of the Holidays, Jollywood Nights, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Holidays at Hollywood Studios, Merry Menagerie, Resorts decorated for the Holidays, and of course Shopping at Disney Springs have all become part of our Holiday traditions, and 2024 at Walt Disney World is both magical and festive.
‘Tis the season at Walt Disney World Resort, and there are so many ways we’ve decked the halls for the season! With twinkling lights and festive decorations around every corner, this is the perfect time to gather your loved ones for merry activities, savor delicious seasonal treats, and create cherished memories together. Let’s unwrap some of the new holiday offerings you can experience this year:
Interact with the World of Disney Windows
For the first time ever, the windows at the World of Disney store interact with your MagicBand+ to create holiday magic for the entire family. Each window has festive fun mixed with unique animations and personalization that appear with a tap of your MagicBand+. Two storylines feature fan-favorite characters that you don’t want to miss this holiday season. Be sure to check out all the windows, which may even give you some inspiration for writing your letters to Santa.
Visit Santa’s Marketplace
Have you been making your holiday wish list the last few months? Visit Santa’s Marketplace near Disney’s Pin Traders and share your list with Santa in person. Or if you are looking to spread holiday cheer with a family Christmas card, the Disney PhotoPass team is ready to capture the perfect photo of your family.
When you arrive at Disney Springs, join the virtual queue on the My Disney Experience app to visit Santa and enjoy holiday shopping while you wait.
Bring the Holidays to Life on the Christmas Tree Stroll Presented by Advent Health
One of my favorite things to do with my family during the holiday season is see all the different trees on the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth, and I am so excited that it returned this year with some new additions! Stroll across Disney Springs to see the entire collection of beautifully decorated Christmas trees celebrating some Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Super Hero favorites. As you stroll through Disney Springs to discover more trees, be sure to look and see which ones have interactions you can engage with MagicBand+ experiences presented by Luxury of Time by Diamonds International.
In between taking advantage of these new and enhanced holiday offerings, don’t forget to savor the delicious treats and seasonal entertainment throughout Disney Springs. Between the Toy Soldier Stilt Walkers, Roller Blading Snowflakes and Brass Brand, there is seasonal flair around every corner. My favorite way to end my day of holiday shopping at Disney Springs is by enjoying one of the nightly “snow” flurries at the Town Center Christmas tree and tasting the new and returning items at Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar.
With so many new offerings and returning favorites this year at Disney Springs, it’s the perfect opportunity to carry on family traditions while creating new ones. Gather up your loved ones and make plans to visit before December 30—it’s all wrapped up and ready for you to enjoy!
