It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Disney World!
Well, it’s actually been looking like Christmas since before Halloween, with some decorations going up in mid-October and new holiday merchandise being put out super early in stores. But, now that Halloween is over, we’re really going to see the decorating kick into high gear. We’ve already seen a holiday ride overlay start in EPCOT, festive decor go up in Animal Kingdom, and the Christmas tree go up in Magic Kingdom! And today, we saw another big part of the holidays arrive in Disney World!
The Christmas tree is UP in Hollywood Studios!
We spotted the giant tree where it usually is each year, in Echo Lake. It joins the large Christmas ornaments scattered around the water!
Gertie is also all decked out for the holidays now! She’s wearing a Santa hat and holding a red ornament in her mouth.
And, the ornament has Disney World’s 50th anniversary logo on it!
The tree and Gertie are looking great together out on Echo Lake! And, there are now vintage Santa signs and silver garlands on the lamp posts around the area.
Plus, umbrellas have been given a festive upgrade, too!
The holidays are showing up fast in Hollywood Studios, with more decorations being added by the day.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more holiday decorations around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for news and updates!
