First things first. If you, dear reader, have anything to share- tips, tricks, words of caution about Disney World at Christmas- let us know! We are always looking for great tips about making the holidays more magical! As avid Disney Vacationers and current Annual Passholders, we have stashed loads of Disney tips and tricks in our Disney Vacation toolbox. But, Christmas at Walt Disney World isn’t an annual trip for us, because we’re usually avoiding the crowds ( which are the worst through the holiday season) and have loads of family holiday fun at home to enjoy. Still, we simply can’t get enough of all the magic in the Walt Disney World Parks for Christmas. Here’s what you can find in each area of the resort through the holidays.
