Hello Maggie!
Welcome back again to planDisney!
Disney's Beach Club Resort is currently one of my favorite Walt Disney World Hotels. The Resort is just so beautiful, has an amazing pool, and is so close to EPCOT that it's almost perfect.
If there is one thing that Walt Disney World Resort does well at the Resorts as well as the Parks is creating the perfect vibe for the season. I truly mean it. It's always just perfect for the season whenever you visit. The flowers, the music, the lights, even the smells! With the winter holidays, decorations slowly start appearing as soon as Halloween is over. It can appear as if it happens overnight- and that's because many times it does! Cast Members work very hard after hours to start putting up the holiday wreaths and colors that make it a magical time to be at Walt Disney World Resort. As for the gingerbread displays, that may take some time due to all the baking and decorating. Last year, the
Disney Parks Blog announced various unique gingerbread displays in the Resorts around mid-November.
There is a good chance that you will be immersed in the Holiday magic nicely during your trip. I would watch the Disney Parks Blog before you arrive and speak to Cast Members when you are there for the latest updates. Since you are so close to EPCOT make sure to experience the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Details have yet to be announced but it is a special event that cannot be missed!
I hope you have a magical time filled with twinkling lights and gingerbread smells!
Happy Planning!
