1. Create Crafts with the Whole Family 

Break out those crafting skills! You can bring home a one-of-a-kind holiday souvenir from your Walt Disney World vacation by making fun crafts.  

If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, cast members will provide a variety of fun arts and crafts, ranging from coloring pages to creating a mosaic out of ostrich eggs (an activity exclusive to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge) — perfect for the youngest guests and the young at heart. Ask a cast member at your Disney Resort hotel about available activities.  


2. Admire the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth   

Hop over to Disney Springs to gaze at gorgeous holiday decorations and the fan-favorite Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth. Enjoy a festive jaunt as you encounter elaborately themed Christmas trees celebrating some Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and character favorites.  

Plus, new this year, you can experience some extra festive fun with your MagicBand+! Use your MagicBand+ and look for surprises at trees or window displays with the special sign.

3. Enjoy Live Performances, Snowfall and a Talking Tree 

While you’re at Disney Springs, don’t miss out on the nightly entertainment. For music lovers of all ages, check out live performances by local artists on the stages all around Disney Springs or the holiday brass band in Town Center. If you’re looking for something more out-of-the-box, Toy Soldier and Icicle stilt performers are here to delight.  

Or, if you fancy a conversation with a tree, Douglas Fir – the roaming talking tree – is more than happy to strike up a conversation.  

And, of course, no holiday season is complete without a little snowfall…even in Florida. Stop by the large Christmas tree in Town Center for some nighttime “winter” magic, perfect for the whole family. Check the My Disney Experience app for showtimes so you can see it all!

4. Awe at Larger-Than-Life Gingerbread Displays 

While staying at your Disney Resort hotel, you’ve got to check out the incredible gingerbread displays at several of the resorts! They’re a cherished tradition brought to life by the talented bakery teams following months of hard work and artistry.  

From a life-size baby gingerbread giraffe and baby zebra at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to a holiday carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort that actually spins, the creativity and effort put into these displays are unmatched. 

5. Gift a Pony Ride to your Favorite Animal Enthusiast   

While you may not be able to ride one of Santa’s reindeer, you can introduce your junior cowboy or cowgirl to Disney’s four-legged equine friends with a good old-fashioned pony ride. 

If you are staying at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, you can bring your pint-sized cowpokes to climb aboard the petite ponies at Tri-Circle-D Ranch to enjoy a merry ride surrounded by festive decorations. Afterward, they may even get to see Cinderella’s Ponies! Pony rides are $10 per person and available for walk-ins only.     

6. Discover Coin Press Machines  

With Disney’s coin press machines, you can collect special holiday character designs starting at just $1. With dozens of machines across Walt Disney World Resort, you never know where you might find them…and they make great stocking stuffers! Keep your eyes peeled as you explore the theme parks, Disney Springs, and even the Resort hotels!
