Halloween may have just ended, and it’s very much still the middle of fall, but that isn’t stopping Disney from already celebrating the holidays!
Yep, these went up before Halloween
Disney World doesn’t mess around when it comes to the holiday season, with some decorations going up literal weeks before Halloween this year. There has also been new holiday merchandise spotted in the parks, the first Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours event is coming up soon, and we know about all the special holiday food coming to Disney this holiday season. Today, we spotted another reason to get excited for the season!
The first holiday decorations have arrived in Magic Kingdom!

When we arrived at the park today and headed down Main Street, U.S.A., we noticed that the big and beautiful Christmas Tree arrived overnight!
Christmas Tree
And from what it looks like, the design is quite different from what we saw last year. Last year’s tree seemed to feature many more red elements in the form of red bows under the candle decorations in particular.
Christmas Tree 2020
This year’s tree seems to feature much more gold and silver in terms of its overall decor, with some colored ornaments sprinkled throughout.
Take a Look at That Tree!
What do you think about this design?
Elegant and Beautiful? Or Do You Wish There Was More Color?
Garlands, ornaments, and lights have also been strung with care on the Main Street Train Station…
It’s Christmas Time!
…as well as the shops leading towards Cinderella Castle to greet guests of all ages!
Main Street Christmas Decorations!
We spotted some special wreathes along the entryway to Magic Kingdom with unique decorations, including pineapples!
Themed Wreath
There were LOTS and LOTS of pineapples!
A Look at the Holiday Decor
And you can see how those gold and yellow tones continue throughout various wreathes in the park.
A Look at the Decor
You could see more of those gold colors in the wreaths hung above the Main Street, U.S.A. stores.
How Beautiful!
Everything from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor…
So Much to Look At!
…to the Confectionery…
It’s the Holiday Season
…and all kinds of spots in between, were looking very festive!
More Holiday Decor
Even the inside of the Emporium was covered with holiday decorations…
Even the Inside is Looking Festive!
…including small Christmas trees…
We Love It!
…and more!
Lots to See!
We also spotted more wreathes hung around the park to add that finishing touch to the other beautiful holiday decorations that have already arrived.
Christmas Wreath
Even the popcorn carts received a festive makeover fit for the holiday season! And, somehow, they make us crave that salty and buttery popcorn all the more as the temperature drops and our holiday sweaters come out of our closets.
Holiday Popcorn Carts
It seems the holiday decor in many places throughout Magic Kingdom has received a bit of a golden makeover.

The holiday decor doesn’t just start in the park though. We also spotted some holiday touches at the Transportation and Ticket Center…

I hate this. Can’t they wait until after Thanksgiving? Years ago we went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. All pretty fall decorations out Thanksgiving Day. The next morning, like magic everything was Christmas. Our grown kids, now in their 40’s, still remember that magic day.
Yep… Too much gold!
I prefer the traditional Christmas colors of red and green that signify the Christmas season. These decorations don’t even really make you think of the 50th anniversary. It’s still just seems like a Christmas decoration, so I think they wasted their time with that. Hope they go back to the traditional red and green colors next year! This year the decorations seem to be lacking something…cheerfulness, brightness, and color!
This is Disney World’s golden birthday. Stands to reason that gold would be predomanate. As we look at the decorations, be thankful Walt and Mickey are still there to greet us, welcoming us in for fun, excitement and a litt bit of MAGIC!
