Disney World Christmas Tree

1) Magic Kingdom Main Street U.S.A. Christmas Tree

The Magic Kingdom Main Street USA Christmas Tree is truly a sight to behold during the holiday season. The tree, decked out in twinkling lights and festive decorations, sets the stage for a magical holiday experience, making it a must-see for visitors of all ages.

You can visit this tree during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or during the day or a non-party night with a regular Magic Kingdom ticket.

If you’ve ever read or watched Disney World Christmas tree reviews, you have probably heard about this tree.

Whilst I don’t think it’s the most interesting Christmas tree Disney World has, it is certainly prominent and iconic.

2) Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Christmas Tree

Are you staying or visiting Coronado Springs this holiday season?

Whilst Coronado Springs probably isn’t the first resort you’d think of when it comes to viewing Disney holiday decorations, it is absolutely amazing!

I mean, look at this enormous Christmas tree in the lobby of Gran Destino Tower!

Whilst it doesn’t have the most unique Disney Christmas ornaments or theming, it looks absolutely gorgeous in this already beautiful lobby.

If you’re going to visit one Moderate Resort to see the Disney holiday decorations, Coronado Springs is the best choice!

3) Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Christmas Tree

The lobby of the Grand Floridian is already beautiful. Add a giant Christmas tree and it becomes even more stunning.

2025 UPDATE: Disney has announced there will be NO major gingerbread house in 2025, due to construction and the addition of their new bar.

But in previous years, Grand Floridian has had the iconic, live-sized gingerbread house – where you can buy some of the most popular Christmas-themed treats at Disney World.

The Grand Floridian truly has been one of the best hotels at Disney during Christmas.

However, if you’re staying – or visiting – the Grand Floridian at Christmas, be aware that the lobby gets *extremely* busy. And the lines for gingerbread treats can get very long, when they are available.

4) Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Christmas Tree

This probably isn’t one you were expecting me to mention.

It isn’t the largest or one of the top Disney Christmas attractions, but it has one of the best themes of the Christmas trees at Disney World.

And by that I mean, a SPORTS-THEMED CHRISTMAS TREE!

Talk about fitting in well with the resort!

5) Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Christmas Tree (Jambo House Lobby)

Some Disney resorts feel perfect for particular seasons. There’s never a bad time to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, but it feels even cozier in the winter!

And look at the enormous tree that takes over the incredible lobby!

Although Jambo House has the largest tree, the one at the Kidani Village lobby is also great.

6) Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Christmas Tree

There’s a reason why it’s so difficult (and expensive) to stay at Wilderness Lodge during the Disney holiday season.

This resort always feels like the best wintery resort … but add the towering Christmas tree and it is insane.

The decorations, the fireplace, the tree … it makes the perfect Christmassy setting!

I recommend dining at Whispering Canyon Café for breakfast, as you can see the Christmas tree from some of the tables!

7) Animal Kingdom Park Christmas Tree

Animal Kingdom’s icon is the Tree of Life … so it’s not surprising that they get Christmas trees right as well.

Unsurprisingly, the Christmas tree at the entrance of Animal Kingdom is animal-themed. Talk about unique and perfectly themed!

This may be the most interesting Christmas tree at *any* of the Walt Disney World parks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Disney World Christmas Trees

Where can I find the main Christmas tree in Disney World?

There are many Christmas trees at Disney World, but many people would consider the main or most iconic to be the one on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom.

When do Disney World resorts put up their Christmas trees?

Most Disney World resorts have put their Christmas trees up by mid-November, but exact dates can differ from resort to resort.

How can I stay at Deluxe Resorts with great Christmas decorations on a budget?

Want to stay somewhere with Deluxe-level holiday decor without the crazy price tag?

Renting DVC points through a trusted broker like David’s Vacation Club Rentals is a great option. In a lot of cases, you’ll even save 50% + less than Disney’s hotel cash rates, and you still get to enjoy those iconic decorations.

That said, to save the most money renting DVC points during the festive period, it’s best to aim for early December or weeknights, since Christmas week explodes in cost.

If the prices are still too high, consider a split stay with a couple of cheaper nights at a cheaper resort (this could even be Saratoga Springs or Old Key West, as they often have prices comparable to moderate – sometimes even value – resorts when renting points), then hop to a headliner for the grand finale.

If you’re looking more last minute, it’s worth checking out the confirmed reservations (particularly if you’re flexible on dates, resort and room types) for Christmas stays – where you can sometimes find even better deals.

When does Disney Springs decorate for Christmas?

The Christmas decorations start arriving at Disney Springs in early November.

The main Disney Springs Christmas tree is amazing … and even better if you see it when it’s “snowing”! ❄️
