The installation of Magic Kingdom’s iconic Christmas tree is a logistical marvel performed entirely under the cover of darkness. Once the final guest has departed and the monorail has made its last run around 11:30 PM, crews descend on Town Square, preparing the site and gathering all the necessary equipment.
By 1:45 AM, the process is underway, with a large crane installing the gift-box base before stacking the tree’s sections—largest to smallest—like giant building blocks. By 5:30 AM, the massive tree is capped off.
As the sun begins to rise, attention turns to the fine details: other crew members finalize the decorative touches on the base. The finished product is unveiled at approximately 6:15 AM when the lights are tested. The entire area is then meticulously cleared, ensuring the sparkling new holiday centerpiece is perfectly in place to welcome the first arriving guests after 8:00 AM.
