Holiday Fun in Downtown Disney

The holiday season is going strong and is only going to get bigger as December rolls out in Downtown Disney. Decorations are everywhere, festive souvenirs line every window, new entertainment is springing up and soon even more magic will be available at select restaurants and retail spots throughout the shopping district. They will only be available for a limited time so if your travels take you to California at the right time make sure you don't miss them!

Trees in Downtown Disney have often been lit, but there are more unique decorations this year than in years past. If you remember the gourds they had lined up in all the planters for Halloween then you'll remember all the stands they put in place to hold them up. Those stands and planters are now full of oversized Christmas tree decorations in very festive colours that make the whole district shine!

Seasonal entertainment is offered every night at the Downtown Disney stage near the ESPN Zone, but this year they've added a new official caroling troupe called Holiday Harmony. It will be hard to miss them. They're the only ones singing sweetly with the ultimate ugly sweaters!

In addition to all of this, select shops and restaurants are offering holiday-time specials you don't want to miss:

• PANDORA Jewelry - When you buy a Mickey & Minnie "Love Icons" charm you get a free Disney clutch.
• Build-a-Bear Workshop - Santa's reindeer are now available for the season!
  
• Haagen-Dazs - Enjoy a special holiday-only treat with peppermint bark ice cream topped with hot fudge and Oreos. Get it as a sundae or a milkshake. Yum!
  
• Catal Restaurant - Come enjoy a special family-style breakfast with Santa and his elves. Each kid will receive a Build-a-Bear Workshop teddy bear from Santa personally! This package is only available 16, 21, & 22 Dec.
  

This is all just the tip of the iceberg for a wonderful time in Downtown Disney this holiday season. Make sure you check out all the new shops that have just opened and don't get lost in the hustle and bustle of shopping and miss out on the great fun all around!
