A life-sized gingerbread house, a festive Christmas tree and photos with Santa Claus; what could be better than Christmas at Disney World for your family’s Florida vacation?

The holiday magic starts at the resort

Nobody dresses up for the season like a Disney resort hotel. If you’re a bit lonesome for home on your Florida vacation for the holidays, that feeling will pass when you see where you’re staying.

If there’s anything Disney does well, it’s details. At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, you’ll find a life-size gingerbread house that looks good enough to eat. Literally! This intricate cookie structure is made from 1,050 pounds of honey, 35 pounds of spices, and 600 pounds of sugar…among other things. It even has cinnamon smoke being puffed out its delicious chimney.

Chocolate and candy ponies spin around on giant candy-cane poles on an amazing gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. And all other lodgings at Disney World are decked out with trees, wreaths, ornaments, garlands and ribbons. You’ll find yourself completely swept up in the holiday magic.

Beyond the resort

The halls start to get decked out for the holidays in the Magic Kingdom early in November but there’s more to Disney World during the holidays than the 200,000 twinkling bulbs that light up Cinderella’s Castle, and the annual Christmas parade featuring Mr. Claus himself!

The Animal Kingdom takes part in the fun too. A Christmas tree like something out of a magazine is trimmed to perfection with animal-themed ornaments and will greet you at the park’s entrance. Take in Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade where King Louie and Baloo lead guests on a safari-style adventure through the park…with a holiday twist! There are many holiday floats sure to get you in the holiday spirit, but none more so than Minnie’s candy cane and hot cocoa float that sends scents of molten chocolate through the air.

Do your holiday shopping on your Florida vacation in Downtown Disney

If you live to shop, you’re in for a treat! Downtown Disney has dozens of unique shops for you to peruse. Don’t worry about where you’ll stop for a bite to eat because there’s no shortage of tasty treats in the area.

Have a sports-lover on your list? You’ll find the perfect gift at TrenD. Once Upon a Toy and World of Disney feature tons of character merchandise, costumes and games. You’ll find something for even the hardest person on your list to buy for.

Find chocolates, cigars, soaps and even LEGO gifts or Disney ornaments and decorations. While you shop, enjoy sounds of the season sung by school bands and choirs. Or take the kids to pose with Santa for photographs.

There’s no place on Earth like Disney World during the holiday season. Seeing your favourite characters dressed up in festive holiday garb, watching a holiday fireworks celebration over Cinderella’s Castle with its 200,000 twinkling lights, the parade featuring Santa, the wreaths, the snow…it’s magic. What a wonderful way to spend a Florida vacation with your family.
