IT’S TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
While my own Christmas tree is still in the box, Magic Kingdom has beat me to it and has brought the holly jolly through the streets of Main Street, U.S.A., and we’re bringing the magic to you! Whether you’re getting excited for an upcoming holiday trip to Disney World and live vicariously through photos, here’s a look at Disney World during the holidays.
While waiting to scan into the parks, the red and green already caught our eye. Do you see what I see?
I spy something red!
Then, BAM, the wreaths! These wreaths are one of the most iconic symbols of Christmastime at Disney World, and we love the red ribbon and the small ornaments inside.
Wreaths!
Stores on Main Street, like the Emporium, are all lined with long garlands and more ribbons.
So much garland
City Hall is all decked out, too! The red and white bows are so pretty and remind me of candy canes.
It’s everywhere you look
When you visit, don’t forget to take some time to admire all the details. It feels like the closer you look, the more magic you notice.
A closer look
While we were distracted by the wreaths, I don’t think we missed it — the Christmas tree is still not up! Here’s a picture from last year. It’s right after you enter the train station by the Minnie and Roy statue, so more Christmas is still to come.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the holiday after-hours party in Magic Kingdom, runs from November 7th to December 21st, and we usually see all the final decorations pop up before the first party night. If you haven’t been to a party before, they’re a great way to enjoy exclusive entertainment, snacks, and characters, and take the holidays to the next level.
A closer look at the details
We followed the wreaths down Main Street all the way to the castle, which had even more wreaths on the lampposts. Check out all the hidden details on it.
There are so many!
Ribbons, ribbons, and more ribbons! I love seeing ribbons for the holidays, so it’s so beautiful to see them within the park.
Gorgeous ribbons
Over in Tomorrowland, we saw that the Tomorrowland Speedway got a touch of Christmas, too. During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, they turn on the lights so it feels like you’re driving by Christmas lights.

While it’s such a small detail, it’s one of my favorite parts of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! You won’t usually find me on the Tomorrowland Speedway ,but when it’s dark out and the lights are twinkling, I struggle staying away!
Trees, trees, trees
Storybook Circus now has massive candy canes right when you walk in, which is a pretty great way to enter a new area.

I remember a day when the white lights outside the Contemporary Resort Tower alternated end red and green clusters on the buildings side facing the 7 Seas Lagoon. .that was Disney’s attention to detail that used to be in place. They do not do the red and green any more, now everything is White lights.
We are visiting February 7-March 7. What’s going on in the parks then? Are there any marathons scheduled then?
