Is there any place more magical than the Magic Kingdom during the holiday season?
If there is, we can’t think of it — especially because we just saw this Disney World Resort’s holiday decor — including a massive Christmas Tree!
Festive swags of garland are now hanging above the Guest Services counter in the lobby of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and the entranceway was also looking especially merry and bright with its own seasonal treatment!
Far off in the distance, we could see the season’s symbolic beacon through the trees…
That’s right — Disney’s Contemporary Resort has officially put up their massive Christmas tree! This thing is HUGE! Does this mean we should be putting up our own?
It may seem a little early to those at home (not me…mine is already up), but if you’re at Disney World right now, you already know the Christmas season is in full swing with celebrations happening throughout the parks including the Magic Kingdom’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! at Hollywood Studios. Find out how you can watch it live here!
It definitely caught our attention — so look for it next time you’re over by Disney’s Contemporary Resort — it’s hard to miss! Is seeing the Contemp tree one of your holiday traditions?
Plus, you can check out the Gingerbread Castle currently on display at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! And did you see our coverage this morning of Disney’s Grand Floridian’s Gingerbread House! It’s now officially open and only a quick sleigh ride away! Oh, what fun it is to ride a one-horse open monorail — especially during Christmas at Disney World!
