It’s beginning to look a lot more like Christmas at Disney World!

We’ve donned our festive outfits to attend Disney World’s holiday parties, tried fun holiday treats around the parks and hotels, and even taken on the challenge of hunting down over two dozen Christmas trees at Disney Springs! If that wasn’t enough to lift your spirits into something merry and bright, we have the PERFECT activity for you to check out.

 

One of our favorite things to do around Disney World during the holidays is take the road less traveled and create our own fun day by visiting all of the nearby Disney hotels. Why? To check out the unique Christmas trees and decorations! It’s usually a full day (or several days) of fun spent searching for lights, festive decor, and ornaments on each themed Christmas tree.

It’s also a free activity to do, making it a great option for those traveling solo or with a group of all ages. Let’s take a look at some of the hotels where we’ve recently spotted 2024 Christmas tree displays!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

First up on our list is Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! You’ll find this hotel’s tree in the Great Ceremonial House, a.k.a. the main lobby.

This tree is gorgeous and filled with all the island-esque elements you can imagine! We spotted fruit…

…sea life…

… and beautiful flowers!

That’s not the only festival decor here, though! We also spotted some fun wreaths hung at the windows!

You’ll also find a few pieces of garland decked throughout the lobby…

…and as you enter the lobby and look to the side, you will see a festive motif to welcome you through the door!

It’s a fun, tropical take on Christmas, and we ADORE the decorations!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Next on our holiday tour is Disney’s Contemporary Resort and this one’s a SIGHT! This hotel’s Christmas tree is so tall it is literally located outside.

You can take a quick peek at it as you’re coming around the monorail, but you can’t truly appreciate the scale until you’re at ground level. This gigantic tree is gorgeous and decked out in larger-than-life ornaments and ribbons!

But if you thought this was the only tree around at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, guess again because there are actually a few more! As you head towards the porte cochere, you’ll find the meticulously hung garland strung just under the hidden Mickeys.

As you make your way inside, the check-in desk of the lobby is decorated, too.

There are even a few smaller trees over by the front entrance of the hotel…

…and by the entrance of Steakhouse 71 on the opposite side of the lobby, completely adorned with (you guessed it) ornaments with a contemporary appeal.

Don’t they look fabulous?!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

Our last stop around the monorail loop is at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and it didn’t disappoint!

We spotted several smaller Christmas trees on display by the ornate marble floor. What a welcome!

While we stopped to admire them, we also got a chance to take a look at a few of the Victorian-style ornaments that cover the trees, like this snowflake ornament and velvet bow…

…and these little kids!

But the greatest one of all here stands in the center lobby just out front of the Gingerbread House, and it is MASSIVE!

We actually had to walk around the entire lobby up top just to get a good look at it from all sides.

Wow, the holidays really are a special time to visit the Disney World hotels, and we think you should work some time into your schedule to see them for yourself.
