Hi Roxanne!
Visiting Walt Disney World during the holiday season is an experience filled with magic. The entire resort transforms into a winter wonderland, with festive decorations, tasty holiday-themed treats, and special holiday events that bring joy to all ages. Not only do the Theme Parks undergo this beautiful transformation, but the
Disney Resort Collection hotels also get in on the fun!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is famous for its breathtaking gingerbread house, a hand-crafted masterpiece that fills the lobby with the delightful scent of gingerbread and candy. While specific details about when the
holiday decorations will be up for this year haven't been released yet, we can look back at last year's schedule for guidance. In 2023, the gingerbread display was up by November 11th. This date can sometimes be a bit earlier or later, as creating these stunning displays is a meticulous process.
Regarding your visit to the Grand Floridian, since you’re not staying at a Disney Resort, the best way to get there is by taking a taxi or Uber to the Ticket and Transportation Center. From there, you can hop on the Resort
Monorail, which will take you directly to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Please note that drop-offs directly at the resort can sometimes be tricky unless you have a dining reservation or are staying there.
Wishing you and your family the most magical holiday at the Walt Disney World Resort! Enjoy every moment of the festive magic that makes this season so special. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as the season approaches for updates on all the holiday happenings.
