It’s that very special time / And the magic that you’ll find / On that once upon a Christmastime – Once Upon a Christmastime Parade Lyrics
No one can dispute how beautiful and special Christmas at Walt Disney World is. They roll out the tinsel like no one else. We could write a book detailing just how much is done on the resort property during the Christmas holiday season, which I’m sure has been done (somewhere). Instead, we decided to highlight a few of “our favorite things” about Disney Hotels during Christmas.
Christmas Trees
The Christmas tree is the centerpiece that ignites the holiday spirit.
Few things get you in the holiday spirit like the Christmas Tree and at Disney it is truly a magical experience. Every hotel on the resort property has a beautiful tree in the lobby to greet you as you come in. Each hotel’s tree is different and is typically themed around the hotel where it is displayed.
Decorations
Love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season. — Ashley Tisdale
Like the parks, the hotels are decked from head to toe in Christmas decorations. It’s virtually impossible to NOT be in the Christmas spirit when at a Disney resort.
Gingerbread Houses
The smells of Christmas are the smells of childhood. — Richard Paul Evans
The Gingerbread Houses/creations are truly works of art! Every Christmas resort chefs put together creations in the lobby. They also have yummy treats for purchase at the display. Not all resorts have Gingerbread displays. If you are staying at a resort that does not have a display, be sure and visit one that does. The smell’s alone is worth the time!
Gifts
Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone. — Charles M. Schulz
“Shopping” and “Disney vacation” tend to be synonymous, but during the holidays shopping at a Disney resort is really special. There are gifts in the stores that are only available during the holiday season. Guaranteeing that the hard to shop for person on your list has something EXTRA special under the tree!
Whenever you visit a Disney resort during the holidays the holiday spirit permeates every part of your stay.
