Festive highlights in the parks

Disney Enchanted Christmas

Throughout the season you will find Christmas woven into almost every part of your day. Main Street U.S.A is lined with garlands, wreaths and sparkling lights. The daily Christmas parade fills the streets with music, themed floats and a very special guest on his sleigh.

Evening spectaculars

Projections bring Sleeping Beauty Castle to life, fountains dance and fireworks burst above the rooftops. It's the moment many families remember most and feels extra magical at Christmas.

Cosy character meets

Mickey, Minnie and friends appear in their Christmas outfits, with both indoor and outdoor meet opportunities. Indoor meets can be a calmer and warmer option for wheelchair users and guests who prefer predictable lighting and quieter environments.

Staying in a Disney hotel at Christmas

After a long day in the parks there is nothing quite like stepping into a Disney hotel lobby and seeing the Christmas tree glowing, garlands along the staircases and soft festive music. Staying onsite keeps you close to the magic and makes resting, warming up or taking quiet breaks easy.

Disney hotels offer wheelchair friendly rooms with adapted bathrooms, step free access and more spacious layouts. Some hotels are walkable while others use shuttle buses, so it is worth picking the setup that works best for your mobility and sensory needs.

On DLP Disability Destinations we focus on practical accessibility details like lift access, room and bathroom layouts and clear notes about mobility suitability.
