2023 Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll – What You Need to Know

Visiting Disney Springs during the holiday season is a great way to celebrate the holidays, and you don’t even need a park ticket! One of our favorite activities is the Christmas Tree Stroll! Disney has shared some great information about the stroll. Learn more below.

Here are all the details from Disney Cast Member Ella Kulak:

With Christmas Day now just a week away, we thought it’d be a perfect time to share a special look at the 19 elaborately decorated Christmas trees (including some you can interact with) at this year’s Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth at Walt Disney World Resort.

As we shared last month, from now until Dec. 30, Disney Springs is decorated to the nines for the holidays with special experiences, decor and 19 beautiful Christmas trees designed for you and other fans of Disney favorites like “Encanto,” “Frozen,” Star Wars and more!

Our first must-see is a new Christmas tree inspired by the latest film from Disney Animation Studios, “Wish,” featuring beautiful flowers in branches. The dazzling design of the tree gives a taste of “Wish” and the story behind Asha and can be found near the AMC Theater at Disney Springs.

Interact With Trees For First Time at Disney Springs

If you’ve been following the Disney Parks Blog, you know the new “Wish” tree is also one of six interactive trees that deliver first-of-its-kind surprises with MagicBand+.  With just a simple circular wave of your wrist, you can see the magic of the “Wish” tree and five other Christmas trees come to life!

At “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” interactive Christmas tree, wave your wrist to see Zero fly around the top and Jack Skellington-inspired ornaments hang off the branches. Here are all of the interactive trees:

• • • “Wish”
    • “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas”
    • “Encanto”
    • “Frozen”
    • Mickey and Minnie Mouse
    • Town Center

Disney Vacation Club Members will recognize this next must-see instantly! Covered in red poinsettias, the special Disney Vacation Christmas tree shows off some of the best vacation scenes to give you some nostalgia or even a new place to check off your list.

If you look closely, you’ll find a sneak peek to an amazing hidden model of The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness coming in 2024.

Disney Springs Christmas Tree Themes Bring Cheer

All of the Christmas trees are scattered around Disney Springs just waiting to be discovered.  Recently,  my mom and I found them all. And for some extra fun, we filled up the circles in the complimentary Christmas Tree Stroll map and received a special surprise.

Special Holiday Sights at Disney Springs

Each night in December, beginning at sundown, “snow” falls in Town Center! I love this part of celebrating the holidays at Disney Springs. As a New England girl, my favorite thing about the holidays is the snow. So, when I am feeling a little homesick, I just hop on down to Disney Springs where my dreams come true.

Visit Santa at Disney Springs

I scream, you scream, we all scream for … SANTA! Now through December 24^th, you can visit Santa Clause at Once Upon a Toy. Use the My Disney Experience app, to enter the virtual queue and wait to take a photo with Santa! You can never be too old or too young to enjoy this festive activity.

During your visit, you may also see a few special sightings this season. While sipping your hot chocolate, catch Santa Sleigh DJ playing throughout the marketplace. You may also spot stilt walkers and a rollerblade duo roaming Town Center. One of my favorite things to do is talk to the wandering tree.

There’s much more to discover this season at Disney Springs!
