Best Ways to Celebrate the Holidays at Disney Springs!
Walt Disney World’s 5th theme park- more commonly referred to as Disney Springs- is pulling out all the stops this holiday season! In addition to the special food, drink, and merchandise offerings you can find at the restaurants and shops, there is so much more to discover in 2018 and the best part is…it’s free! Joining the ever-expanding Christmas Tree Trail are new and exciting entertainment offerings waiting for you and your family to discover, so let’s get going!
Christmas Tree Trail
It may have seen its debut only a few seasons ago, but Christmas Tree Trail at Disney Springs has already left quite the lasting impression on guests. The raves and reviews of the walkthrough trail of Disney decorated trees has pretty much guaranteed the Trail a returning spot each Holiday season! This year, there are three new trees that dot the trail, and with expanded ornament retailers locations throughout the Trail, this year is shaping up to be the biggest yet!
Stitch’s Holiday Gift Hunt
Stitch is always in over his head when it comes to mischief, and Christmastime is no different! Fittingly, he’s misplaced all the gifts on his shopping list, and he needs your help finding them! Pick up your booklet at Amorette’s, Chirstmas Tree Trail, Once Upon A Toy, Marketplace Co-Op, Galactic Outpost, or The Ganachery and start the mission! Once you’ve followed the map, discovered the clues, and matched the correct sticker to each of Stitch’s missing gifts, you’ll earn yourself a surprise! Head back to any of the above locations to redeem your hard-earned prize.
DJ Holiday Dance Parties and Stilt Walkers
Disney Springs is ready to jam out this season…will you be there? DJs and stilt walkers will join up to create the coolest, most fun, and completely complimentary atmosphere anywhere around! Adults and kids alike are invited to join the stilt walkers and dance the night away to the DJs bumpin’ holiday tunes.
Right on Key
Disney Springs’ resident carolers are back! Catch performances of Right On Key’s sets from now until the Holiday season wraps up.
Living Statues
Before you end your Disney Springs explorations, make sure you take a closer look at those statutes you see through the Springs. If you’re too preoccupied with visions of sugar plums dancing through your head, I’m here to reassure you that your mind is not playing tricks on you…the statues really do move! The living statues of Disney Springs come to life in all-new seasonal attire! If you’re hoping to catch them change positions, I’ll give you a tip: don’t blink, or you just might miss it!
Meet Santa
Saving the most important for last, don’t forget to take your turn on the big guys’ lap and whisper what you hope he’ll bring you for Christmas! This year, you can meet him at Santa’s Chalet (located near the Christmas Tree Trail). One of my favorite additions to this experience is that you don’t have to wait in line anymore! When you check in, you’ll be given a buzzer that virtually holds your spot in line for you! This way, you can explore the Christmas Tree Trail and pick up a new ornament in lieu of standing in line…that sounds like the happiest, merriest, and most stress-free way to meet Santa to me!
