Disney Springs kicks off its holiday season on November 13, and the runs through January 6, 2027. From a Christmas tree stroll and live music to seasonal food and drinks, there's plenty to fill a full day — or evening — at the shopping and dining complex.

Christmas Tree Stroll

The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth is back, spreading decorated trees throughout the complex. Each tree is themed around a Disney, Pixar, or Star Wars character or story.

One fan favorite returning this year: the Toy Story-inspired tree, dressed up with classic toys from the film.

Once you've tracked them all down, head to Town Center in the evening to catch the nightly snowfall.

Jock Lindsey's Holiday Bar

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar gets its annual holiday overlay this season, with seasonal bites, brews, and cocktails added to the menu.

Live Music and Roaming Entertainment

On select nights, the AdventHealth Waterside Stage hosts live regional and local bands. Seating is first-come, first-served.

Roaming entertainment also moves through Disney Springs on select holiday nights, so keep an eye out as you walk between shops and restaurants.

Holiday Shopping

Disney Springs has two dedicated stops for holiday merchandise:

  • Disney's Days of Christmas — year-round holiday shop with an expanded seasonal collection
  • World of Disney — the largest Disney merchandise store at Walt Disney World, stocked with holiday collections throughout the season

Both are worth a stop if you're checking off a gift list or picking up a Disney Springs holiday souvenir.

Disney Springs holiday events run November 13 through January 6, 2027. No separate ticket or theme park admission required.

If Hansel and Gretel went too cheap to get a Victoria and Albert’s reservation, they cloud have still gotten into the lobby to set up.

Yeah, GF is off our list now, too. It used to be our favorite resort and we would stay there on our trip, but now I think we will check out yacht club or beach club or even one of the Universal resorts. What absolute stupidity. It’s like the Peabody Memphis getting rid of the ducks because they cause too much crowds!

Coming next, POFQ with a gingerbread Bourbon Street serving Ginger Beignets?

MisterPenguinJul 01, 2026

The lack of a gingerbread house to look at for a minute and move on with my life is being taken away!! Except, of course, for the GBH at the Contemporary. And the one at BoardWalk Inn. And Beach Club. And Animal Kingdom Lodge. And Wilderness Lodge. And EPCOT. And all the smaller ones scattered throughout the GF lobby. But other than that, no gingerbread house!!!

Me thinks the “clientele” of Grand Floridian complained bout the unwashed masses intruding upon their glamorous resort.

It always goes back to beignets.

Did we move on from biengets to shingles? I've been busy today.

TrainsOfDisneyJul 01, 2026

Oh I know….. have a $50 drink at the bar include a gingerbread shingle - but there is not other possible way to buy the gingerbread shingle even if you don’t drink for personal, religious, or medical reasons. That is a great way to push up the alcohol sales and based on beak and barrel there are plenty of fans who will defend the decision!!!

Like a virtual queue or something

HauntedPirateJul 01, 2026

It’s too bad they don’t have some kind of way for people to virtually queue up that they could have used to see the gingerbread house.

lol sell more to the drunks who hang out in the lobby all day. I don’t even care about GF anymore, I almost never go. I wasn’t impressed by the Enchanted Rose. Stayed at GF one time but wasn’t impressed at all for the price. I wish the orchestra would return and it’s sad they cut that out. Considering the cost, cutting out one of the most magnificent displays is certainly a choice. But at the same time, influencers killed GBH across the resort. It used to be a fun thing to do on the side, but it’s such a madhouse to go to any of the deluxe resorts that I’ve had no desire to do it.

That the large GBH would not return was already announced. This is more of an announcement of the smaller ones.

Could've said "The space taken up by the Gingerbread house would take away potential customers of our stupid bar we put in there because serving overpriced drinks is more profitable".

You know you’ve messed up when you have to release a statement justifying your decision.
