The holiday season is in full swing around Disney World!
There are plenty of great things to look forward to in Disney World this time of year. Whether you’re into seasonal snacks, holiday entertainment, gorgeous decor, or fun new merchandise, there’s SO MUCH to see and do! But if you are taking a trip to Disney World during the holidays, don’t forget to plan for some big crowds.
It looks like lots of guests are heading to Disney Springs today for some last-minute holiday shopping!
We stopped by World of Disney this morning to check out the merch selection they had in store, and we spotted a HUGE crowd waiting to get in before the store even opened! Guests were lined up waiting to enter the store, and we noticed some people struggling to find the end of the queue…
…which was understandable, because the line wrapped all the way around the side of the building at its longest point!
Today is projected to be the busiest travel day of the year in Orlando so make sure to leave yourself plenty of extra time to navigate around Disney World if you’re visiting in the coming days!
