The holidays are HERE!
EPCOT’s got the Festival of the Holidays going on, Magic Kingdom has Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and there are tons of decorations to see everywhere. If you’ll be in Disney this holiday season and are staying at Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resorts, there are LOTS of holiday offerings you need to know about!
Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resorts are offering lots of holiday happenings to guests from now through December 25th! Guests can meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, as well as hear elves tell their favorite North Pole bedtime stories and decorate cookies on December 9-11th, 16th-18th, 18th-19th, and 21st-23rd. Guests can also listen to elves tell North Pole bedtime stories at 8:30PM on December 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
Families can also decorate cookies by the pool from 6-8PM on December 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. Guests can also marvel at the chocolate Santa sculpture in the Swan lobby and see the Dancing Light Show at the outdoor causeway from sunset through midnight.
For an additional fee, Santa’s elves can also deliver a 6-foot Christmas tree to your hotel room with a complimentary Santa’s Stocking, which is filled with Rudolph’s favorite treats and some of the elves’ favorite toys (the Stocking can also be purchased separately). A Winter Wonderland Bag can also be purchased through December 25th, which contains Frosty’s winter favorites.
Lastly, if you’ve got kiddos who are worried about Santa finding their hotel room on Christmas Eve, you can get a complimentary Magic Key for Santa from the front desk on Christmas Eve that children can hang outside of their hotel room door!
Rates start at $279 per night, and guests who are in need of a second room can use the code “SANTA” for 25% off! Don’t forget to try lots of other holiday treats at other Disney World hotels, and don’t miss out on Breakfast with Santa in Disney Springs. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney holiday news!
