Hi there Ellen and welcome back to planDisney!
It's so great to see you come back year after year to ask the Panel your questions whether it's about
transportation on Main Street U.S.A. or meals for
the little ones at Restaurantosaurus - and it's definitely never too early to start planning for
the holidays at Walt Disney World Resort! While we see the theme parks suddenly donning that seasonal spirit almost immediately after Halloween,
Disney Springs gets in on the festivities with select locations going all in with decorations and themed menu items to boot!
Jock Lindsay's Hangar Bar is a great example of a location at
The Landing in Disney Springs that is already full of excellent storytelling details and theming that gets an extra jolly kick over the holidays as it is temporarily reimagined into Jock Lindsay's Holiday Bar! While there typically aren't any announcements publicly available to guests this early on, we can look to last year's offerings for a hint as to what you might expect:
If management is planning on remaining consistent with this again for 2024 you might have a better bet at experiencing this in mid to late November; since it looks like you'll be arriving in Orlando during the first week it's always worth popping by in person to ask the serving staff there whether you'll be lucky towards the end of your stay. (In my personal experience it can get incredibly popular over the holidays especially on evenings and weekends, so early afternoons on weekdays have been a bit easier for us to snag a great spot!)
I do hope this helps a bit Ellen, and I'm crossing my fingers for you that this will perhaps make the change and be ready during your trip! In the meantime, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for these holiday updates so that you can plan ahead!
Wishing you all the best on this seasonal search for one of the greatest Holiday-themed dining experiences in Disney Springs!
