Thanksgiving week is upon us, so it’s time to plan your perfect Disney Springs holiday visit. I’m sure many of you have started preparing your menu for Thursday night, but it deserves a break. Sit back, relax, and let us tell you about our Holiday Edition Disney Springs.
Disney has released a list of events to keep you entertained this holiday season. Get out those planners and write down the activities you want to participate in.
meet santa
Upon arrival at Disney Springs, guests can join a virtual queue to meet the most jolly Santa Claus. He is currently hosting guests at Once Upon a Toy through December 24. It’s important to note that due to the virtual queue, this offering is subject to availability.
entertainment
This is how Disney describes the entertainment found throughout the region.
Disney Springs Town Center transforms into a winter wonderland with snow every night. As a former Northerner from Florida, this is one of my favorite Holiday His touches. Snow in 75 degree weather? That’s my winter look. Also keep an eye out for hilarious live entertainment throughout Disney Springs. Includes hilarious musical acts, toy soldier stilts and more.

The snow that falls every night is always magical. Even if it’s not real snow, it’s exciting to see it falling from the sky. The variety of stilt walkers found at Disney Springs are very talented and add an extra layer of holiday fun.
Holiday shopping!
I don’t know about you, but I could spend hours wandering the stores and window shopping. I won’t be doing all of my holiday shopping here, but I love having stores that offer annual pass discounts.
Visit @DisneySprings on Instagram for this year’s holiday gift guide. You can browse categories saved in Page Highlights and check out Instagram Stories throughout the season. You’ll also find plenty of hilarious merchandise throughout Disney Springs, including my favorite new holiday lines such as the Mickey Mouse Vintage Christmas Collection and the Disney Homestead Winter Collection available at World of Disney.

This year’s Christmas items are lovely and I would love to have the entire collection, but that’s just not possible. Hopefully I can get my ears and sweater before the season ends.
Christmas tree walk
A walk around the Christmas tree is a fun activity that the whole family can participate in. Disney Springs is home to 20 of his trees, each one themed after a beloved movie. This year, a new layer was added to the scavenger hunt, allowing guests to use the Playhi Disney Parks app to enhance their experience.

Holiday treats and food
Last but not least, holiday meals. Disney Springs has some of the best dining and delicious festive treats on site. Personally, my favorite way to celebrate Christmas is to try all the fun Christmas foods and snacks.
The team at Disney Springs is as busy as the elves of the Arctic, cooking seasonal dishes. You can make a list in the Holiday Delights Foodie Guide and double check it. And don’t worry. ‘It’s not a holiday until Thanksgiving is over,’ so we’ll use our Thanksgiving foodie guide to make wishbones. There are plenty of goods that can be enjoyed not only at Disney Springs, but all seasons!
