The Most Spectacular Tree Arrives at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
It’s a festive day as Disney’s Contemporary Resort Christmas tree is here!
The most spectacular Christmas tree has finally arrived at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, along with more, ultra-chic decorations we simply had to show you. Let’s hop off the Monorail, and go check it out!
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog this week, you no doubt have been enjoying joining us as we admire all the beautiful and unique holiday decorations that have been popping up all across the Walt Disney World Resort.
First, the festivities began to take over the parks, and slowly spread out through Disney Springs.
Now, in a magical flurry of garlands, ribbons, baubles, and lights, all of the resort hotels are also decked out for the season, too!
So far, our personal highlights have included the decorations at hotels such as Art of Animation, Wilderness Lodge, and the Yacht Club.
However, today we’re over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, where the promise of swish, modern décor and stylish trimmings are a certainty!
A Sensational, Seasonal Sight
We’ll start with easily the most eye-catching piece of newly-arrived décor at the Contemporary – this huge Christmas tree!
Standing mighty proud outside the hotel building, this iconic annual tree tradition is infamously one of the largest on Walt Disney World property.
It’s so large and impressive, it’s hard not to feel cheered by looking at it!
In true Contemporary style, the tree is also one of the more minimalist designs we’ve seen across the resort, too.
I mean, of course, it’s still Disney, so the multicolored baubles and twinkling lights are aplenty. However, especially compared with the ribbon and ornament-filled trees that can be found in the parks and across the other resort lobbies, this one isn’t too overwhelming.
But, it is spectacular, and we can’t help but admire the warmth and charm it brings to the Contemporary!
Festive Tidings
The tree isn’t the only new decoration to have been added at the Contemporary this week! Our MickeyBlog reporters have taken us on a photo tour around the resort’s main lobby building and entranceway, so let’s check it all out!
Starting at the valet area and drop-off point, we can see lavish garlands of gold and blue ornaments. So pretty!
Then, as we move deeper inside the building, we can see even more adorable decorations!
Stuffed full of ribbons, florals, fruits, and lights, these wreaths and garlands that are hung around the lobby are certainly rather special.
It’s perhaps worth noting that they don’t really match the minimalist approach of the tree outdoors, but they do give the hotel interior a classy, warm, and merry atmosphere!
Hey, look at this wreath photographed below – it almost looks like the tree from outdoors is represented in its center!
Unique Charm
If you’ve visited Disney’s Contemporary Resort – or even if you’ve just sped through it on the Monorail – you’ll no doubt know that the resort’s style is one of the most distinct and unique of all the resorts at Walt Disney World.
There’s something about that enticing, retro-futuristic style that never fails to charm us, and we’re so glad to see that the Imagineers have once again succeeded in finding the perfect decorations to compliment the hotel’s unique vibe.
Isn’t it cozy?
Festive Shopping
Strolling through the resort, we can see that even the stores have received their holiday glow-up for 2023. Here’s BVG, with a quaint tree in the window, and mannequins all clad in their merriest holiday attire!
We love this fun window display too, featuring characters such as Stitch and the Genie enjoying Christmas activities!

The Gingerbread Castle
Now, it would be very amiss of us to share a blog post about the seasonal decorations at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, without touching upon this beloved annual classic. The Gingerbread Castle!
As you can see, the finished castle is looking completely spectacular at the Contemporary. You can get a closer look at the structure, and read all about its unique style, in our photo report here!
In the meantime, we hope you enjoyed walking through the Contemporary winter wonderland with us. From the sparkling tree to the spicy smell of gingerbread, it really is a magical resort to experience during the holiday season!
