Evermore Orlando Resort and Conrad Orlando are rolling out a full slate of holiday activities for guests staying near Walt Disney World this season. The 1,000-acre resort complex sits next door to Disney property and is adding a full lineup of seasonal activities, dining, and family-focused events for the holidays.
Evermore Orlando Resort is a newer addition to the area, built around Evermore Bay - an 8-acre clear-water lagoon with a large white-sand beach - and two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses. The resort includes Conrad Orlando, a 433-room luxury hotel, along with Evermore Residences, which are purpose-built vacation homes and flats ranging from four to eleven bedrooms. The property offers paddleboarding, kayaking, sports courts, fitness classes, and daily activities across The Landing and Boathouse Lawn, plus 13 dining locations spread across the resort.
Daily and weekend activities around the resort
A new self-guided "Glow n' Stroll" runs daily, taking guests through lighting displays and seasonal décor placed throughout the pathways and common areas. Conrad Orlando guests also have access to holiday-themed cabanas on select dates, stocked with cookies, drinks, décor, and a festive pool float.
In-room elf visits are available at Conrad from December 12-24, aimed at younger kids who want a short storytime and a small toy delivered to their suite. Santa and Mrs. Claus will appear at The Landing from December 19-21 for casual evening meet-and-greets and photos.
Evermore Bay will also host a New Year's Noon Party on December 31, offering an early celebration for families who prefer not to stay out until midnight.
Kids and teens events
Evermore is running daily craft sessions with projects like ornament decorating, ceramic painting, and pinecone trees. Weekend "Reindeer Games" on The Landing Lawn include games and a Santa-themed scavenger hunt.
Sunny's Merry Little Christmas Party takes place December 20-21 at Spartina Court with cookie decorating, wreath and hat crafts, warm drinks, and photos with Santa that benefit Give Kids The World Village. On December 24, families can enter a gingerbread house decorating competition, with materials provided.
Holiday dining at Conrad Orlando
Several Conrad restaurants are offering holiday menus:
- Sophia's Trattoria will serve a Feast of the Seven Fishes on December 24 and a Christmas Day brunch on December 25.
- Twin View is running seasonal menus from December 24-31 with views over Evermore Bay.
- Ceiba, the rooftop restaurant, will hold a New Year's Eve dinner with fireworks views and a midnight toast.
Advance reservations are required for all dining events.
Spa and wellness
The Conrad Spa is offering a December-only massage with winter aromatherapy options like balsam, cinnamon clove, and peppermint.
Holiday décor and accommodations
A select group of Evermore Residences -Houses and Flats - will be available with holiday décor already installed. Guests can also use the resort's gift-wrapping service throughout December.
At Conrad Orlando, suites can be decorated on request, and the hotel's "elves" offer in-room gift wrapping with a two-hour turnaround.
All activities are limited to registered guests at Evermore or Conrad Orlando. Some events are exclusive to the hotel side or the broader resort. Guests heading to Walt Disney World for the holidays may find Evermore's larger accommodations, lagoon area, and on-site dining a great option when nearby Disney resorts are full or priced higher for peak dates.
