January is Wellness Month at Disney Springs! Get ready to stick to your New Year’s resolution with wellness and self-care around the shopping and dining district of Disney World.
2025 marks the fourth year Disney Springs has presented its Wellness Month. Throughout the month, you can book different wellness itineraries and can’t-miss offerings for you, friends, and family to participate in that include complimentary outings around Disney Springs. The itineraries and can’t-miss offerings include things like free fitness classes, complimentary tea tastings, complimentary photography tours, discounts at participating restaurants, and more. You can reserve your spot for one of the wellness itineraries on the Disney Springs website and have a day full of wellness and self-care. We got to tag along with a Walt Disney World Ambassador for a day of wellness, and we’re taking you with us to see just how much fun these wellness days can be!
We met up with our tour guide, Walt Disney World Ambassador Shannon, and started our day at L’Occitane, where we got a preview of the free facials being offered in-store throughout January. MAC Cosmetics is also offering free facials throughout the month of January!
After checking out the facials and in-store offerings at L’Occitane, we headed to the amphitheater near the Amphicar dock and The Boathouse restaurant, where there was a live, high-energy Latin dance band and instructors leading a family Zumba class! These Zumba classes are offered at select times throughout the day and are part of the Family Day Out wellness itinerary.
After we joined the instructors for a very aerobic dance class, it was time for lunch! Various dining locations are offering discounts on meals throughout the month as part of the wellness itineraries, including Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, where you can get 10% off in January. We grabbed our lunch at this down-home cookin’ restaurant!
After lunch, it was time to return to the amphitheater for a fitness class presented by Cirque du Soleil! This class was actually instructed by Cirque du Soleil performers, which was SO cool to experience. There were performers in their ‘Drawn to Life’ costumes doing demonstrations on stage and in the audience.
The fitness class was the coolest part of our day. While we love a free facial, this class taught by the ‘Drawn to Life’ performers was a very unique experience. You bring your own yoga mat, and Saulo, the instructor, talks you through each movement while it’s demonstrated for three different skill levels. They called the most advanced level “Cirque Level,” and it was almost as impressive as what they perform on stage in ‘Drawn to Life!’
Overall, Disney Springs’ Wellness Month seems like a great event! It’s fun to have a whole month of free activities dedicated to feeling good and healthy. It was an all-around fantastic day. There are events for wellness, fitness, and self-care, which all look different but are just as equally important for a well-rounded, balanced life, and we loved that.
Whether self-care to you looks like donuts and coffee, tea and photography, or fitness classes and sushi, there’s something for everyone at Disney Springs during Wellness Month this January! Some of these offerings must be booked in advance, while others are available via walk-up. Check out the Disney Springs website for more information.
