Why We're Booking This Disney World Holiday Reservation NOW

Do you hear that? Is that the sound of sleigh bells? Yes, it’s a little early, but not when we’re talking about Disney World. The holiday season is only a little over a month away, and we’re ready for the holiday decor in the parks, all the holiday snacks, the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and more.

However, there’s one holiday activity that we might be looking forward to the most: holiday sleigh rides at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Now, if you’re interested in taking a sleigh ride, we’ve got big news: bookings are now available.

That’s right, during the holidays you can take a sleigh ride at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. You’ll get a 25-minute ride that starts at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch barn near the Settlement Bus Depot at the resort. Up to four adults can fit in the sleigh, or two adults and three small children.

Sleigh rides are available from December 1st through December 30th, 2025 (although rides are not available on December 24th). Bookings are open now, and each ride costs $80. Reservations are highly recommended because availability for the rides is limited. You can make reservations up to 60 days prior to your Disney World visit on the Disney World website or via the My Disney Experience app. Same-day reservations are available on a limited basis, and walk-ins may be allowed if any time slots are available.

You’ll need to make sure you arrive early enough to get checked in 15 minutes early for your sleigh ride, and note that it could be cancelled due to inclement weather.

Check back with AllEars again soon for more.
