The Holidays Are Coming To Disney Springs!

It’s time to get into the spirit as the “Holidays at Disney Springs,” seasonal celebration starts November 11 and runs through January 8, 2017 – and that seems just about perfect to us!

There will be some familiar favorites making their annual return, and a few new additions to spice up the season. Below, a few of the holiday activities I’m most looking forward to:

Disney Springs’ Christmas Tree Trail – This new offering will put the spotlight on fifteen distinctly decorated trees, each themed to a beloved Disney character or story. Add in a light dusting of snow and some holiday tunes and you’ve got yourself a winter wonderland in the Marketplace.

Nightly Tree Lighting Ceremony – Every evening at 6 p.m., experience a festive tree lighting ceremony where a family of the day will be chosen to illuminate the Marketplace signature tree. Nearby, look for life-sized toys, toy soldier stilt walkers, and Christmas-inspired treats.

Santa’s Chalet – Share your wish list with Santa and be sure to pose for a photo or two as Disney PhotoPass photographers will be on hand to capture the moment. (Tip: Visit early and use your family photo in this year’s holiday cards!) Like last year, you can pick up a pager upon arrival, allowing you to shop, dine or play while you wait for your turn in the queue line.

MAC Cosmetics’ Nutcracker Sweet Collection – To celebrate the launch of the new MAC Cosmetics holiday boxed sets, you’re invited to lose yourself in an eccentric ballet starring a handsome prince, the Sugar Plum Fairy, rosy-cheeked soldiers and other whimsical surprises. With multiple performances taking place daily from November 16 through November 19, 2016, there are plenty of chances to enjoy this spectacle. (Bonus: you’ll also be able to book a magical makeover appointment during this timeframe!)

Stitch’s Holiday Gift Hunt – Slated to start on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, this fun-for-the-whole-family scavenger hunt-style activity will send you through all four neighborhoods of Disney Springs. Once complete, visit participating locations for a limited-edition completer button.

With so much in store at Disney Springs, you might need to plan a few visits to take it all in. Of course, every corner will be decked out and evening entertainment will take on a festive flair alongside a special nighttime show that will be announced soon.

This is all in addition to the incredible holiday shopping now available at Disney Springs – ‘tis the season, right?
