12 Holiday MUST-DO'S at Walt Disney World
  1. Sunset Seasons Greetings at Disney's Hollywood Studios: Guests can enjoy all-new spectacular holiday projections displayed on the famous Hollywood Tower Hotel! This new holiday experience runs continuously throughout the night and features animated scenes of Mickey, Minnie and other beloved Disney characters sharing their favorite Christmas stories. Keep an eye out for the billboards that come to life and the falling snow on Sunset Boulevard. Talk about magical!
  2. New Holiday Kitchens at the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays: Experience the flavors of the holidays, as you meander through World Showcase stopping at each of the festival's many Holiday Kitchens. These kiosks serve up food and drinks that take the words "warm and cozy" to a whole new level. There's even a Holiday Kitchen that's all about sweet treats like snowflake sugar cookies and warm apple fritters with cinnamon ice cream and caramel sauce.
  3. S'mores, Hot Cocoa and Christmas Carols at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground: Immerse yourself in the yuletide grandeur of the Pacific Northwest at Disney's Wilderness Lodge where a majestic Christmas tree towers over the resort lobby. Cozy up to the fire and relax with a cup of hot cider or cocoa and holiday treats. For more frontier-style holiday happenings head over to Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground where carolers arrive by hay wagon spreading the sounds of the season.
  4. Winter Summerland Miniature Golf: Join Santa and his elves at their off-season retreat for two 18-hole adventures available all year-round! The indecisive elves built two courses, one that showcases the warm Florida weather and another that represents the arctic North Pole. What better way to create a new holiday tradition than with family games, Christmas melodies and
    festive décor?
  5. Exciting New Holiday Merchandise: Unwrap another holiday tradition - shopping! Disney Springs has almost as many gift options as Santa's bag. Shoppers will find everything from top-name brands to one-of-a-kind specialty stores. Popular new merchandise items include three new holiday-themed headbands that, much like the highly popular rose gold Minnie Mouse ears, promise to be a holiday hit!
  6. Jolly Décor: Take in the glistening holiday décor that brightens all four Theme Parks, the Disney resort hotels and Disney Springs! Wreaths, garlands and more surround you with holiday cheer. Giant floating ornaments, sky-high Christmas trees and magical snow flurries create a winter wonderland all around the
    vacation kingdom.
  7. Holiday Entertainment at Disney Springs: Every corner of Disney Springs is wrapped and ready for the season with festive holiday décor and seasonal entertainment. This year an expanded Christmas Tree Trail features ten new trees inspired by Disney classics such as Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Snow White and Dumbo.
  8. Tasty Treats: Taste the newest Flurry of Fun confections at Disney's Hollywood Studios. From red velvet whoopee pies decorated with icing garland, ornament pearls, and holiday sprinkles to Olaf Cake Pops and apple cranberry cobblers, these holiday sweets will have you smiling from ear-to-ear!
  9. Candlelight Processional at Epcot: One of the most beloved Epcot traditions returns with new celebrity narrators. Disney legend Kurt Russell is among the newcomers, along with Pat Sajak, Matt Bomer and CCH Pounder who will join returning favorites Neil Patrick Harris, Whoopi Goldberg, Jaci Velasquez and others. The Candlelight Processional is a retelling of the Christmas story as told by a celebrity narrator accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and mass choir. The show takes place at the America Gardens Theatre nightly at 5:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m. and 8:15 p.m., Nov. 24-Dec. 30.
  10. Gingerbread Houses: Explore stunning edible creations at select Walt Disney World resort hotels, like the life-size holiday gingerbread house at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. A giant edible spinning carousel is a holiday tradition at Disney's Beach Club Resort, while a holiday village with a miniature train takes center stage at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. New this year, Disney's Contemporary Resort will be home to an 18-foot-tall Cinderella Castle, crafted with thousands of gingerbread blocks, rolled fondant and modeling chocolate.
  11. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: It's a Christmas party like no other! Each special ticket, limited-attendance event features an exclusive performance of Holiday Wishes fireworks, and the very first performances of other spectaculars like Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, the Frozen Holiday Wish castle-lighting ceremony and Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration stage show. The special party, complete with cookies, cocoa and snow flurries, begins at 7 p.m., after regular park hours. Parties will be held on November 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 26 and 28, and December 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 22.
  12. Meet Santa Claus: A cozy conversation with Father Christmas, himself, makes the holiday season complete. Santa Clause will park hop to greet guests at Disney Springs and Disney's Hollywood Studios. He'll even make an appearance during Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade at
    Magic Kingdom Park.

Sunset Seasons Greetings - NEW!
Hollywood Studios

Have a flurry of holiday fun in an enchanted winter wonderland-filled with new Disney twists and characters-on Sunset Boulevard
As 2017 draws to a close, and night falls on  Disney's Hollywood Studios, an unforgettable scene starts to unfold for Guests of all ages. Billboards suddenly begin to move into motion and tell a tale, courtesy of iconic characters sharing their love for the season. All the while, the Hollywood Tower Hotel-a.k.a. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror-magically transforms, bringing to life the characters' stories.

Disney character moments include:
  • Mickey and Minnie reminiscing about a hometown Christmas as the scene shifts into a romanticized, Norman Rockwell-inspired town-starting in black and white before slowly changing into color
  • The Toy Story characters guessing which new toys are coming this Christmas as the scene becomes covered in holiday
    wrapping paper
  • The Swedish Chef from The Muppets babbling as only he can while the scene turns into giant gingerbread houses
  • And finally, Olaf pining over his holiday wish as iconic music plays and the scene freezes over into a Frozen winter wonderland-complete with dancing Aurora Borealis lights and projected
    falling snow
Be sure to check out the entire "Flurry of Fun" at Hollywood Studios!
