Walt Disney World released details today on this coming holiday season at a special media preview. Among the highlights:
— At Disney Springs, the Disney Springs Holiday Tree Trail will return with even more trees than last year. The trees are 10' and 12' tall with a 10' backdrop for a guest photo op. The new Disney Springs Logo Tree will feature custom ornaments for Disney Springs Operating Participants. This will be followed by trees themed to variety of characters and Disney films: Mickey and Minnie, Pluto (devoted to pets), Sleeping Beauty (new), Beauty and the Beast, Princess and the Frog, the Little Mermaid, Frozen, Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio (new), 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia (new), Villains, Lilo and Stitch, Dumbo (new), Tangled, Robin Hood (new), Peter Pan (new), Jungle Book, Muppets, Mulan, Mary Poppins, and Alice in Wonderland. Santa's Chalet will be located at the end of the trail with snow. Each tree will have a signature ornament you can purchase. As you exit the trail, there will be one final tree with what's at the Disney Store for the holidays.
— At Disney's Hollywood Studios, Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! returns on November 7. The show will be updated with a few different sequences and new characters, along with more integration of fireworks. There may be one or two additional "holiday" offerings at the Studios this year, too — details will be announced at a future date.
— In Epcot, Joyful! A Gospel Celebration is returning. In addition, the Mexico pavilion will feature an enhanced holiday celebration titled La Posada, with authentic Mexican with mariachi, dancers and music similar to a festival.
— In the Magic Kingdom, all the special shows and happenings from Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will be available to all guests the week of Christmas. Also, A Frozen Holiday Wish will return once a night on non-party nights and twice a night during the Party. The Main Street Trolley Show will have a new Christmas theme, and the Move It Shake It Dance and Play It! parade will have a holiday finale.
