Annual Passholder Magnets
There are tons of ways for Annual Passholders to have some exclusive holiday fun in Disney World this year especially thanks to the exclusive merch at Epcot International Festival of the Holidays and the fun holiday photo ops around the parks. Now, there’s a WHOLE WEEKEND full of holiday cheer for Passholders in Disney Springs and we’re here to tell ya about it!
The Christmas season has begun in earnest at Walt Disney World, and even the dinos at T-Rex restaurant in Disney Springs are getting in on the action! That’s right: Santa and Mrs. Claus are hosting a breakfast buffet among the giant lizards, and you can join them!

This perennial event has been held at T-Rex for the past two years, with guests getting their fill of a breakfast buffet that includes such tasty morsels as Mini Pancakes, Omelette and Waffle Stations, and a French toast stack called Dexter’s Delight! (Dexter, you’ll want to know, is the dinosaur mascot of the restaurant!)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
And, no, this time I’m not talking about the release of the 2017 Candlelight Processional Dining Packages, or three ways you can ring in the New Year at the Contemporary Resort. Nope, I’m saying the Holiday Season is ON… in Disney Springs, that is!

Yep, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Disney Springs Marketplace. You’ll find the Big Guy — Santa Claus!! — at Disney’s Days of Christmas (he’ll be dressed in summer wear, of course). He’ll be snapping pics with guests from 1:00 to 10:00 pm.
And visions of sugarplums will spring up throughout the area! At Goofy’s Candy Company and the Candy Cauldron (on the West Side), peppermint bark and gingerbread cookies will be among the featured holiday goodies.

There are two awesome holiday experiences in Disneyland Resort that are not to be missed this year. Nope, I’m not talking about the homemade candy canes or the yule log (though both of those are definitely not-to-be-missed!), I’m talking about visiting Santa’s Cabin at Big Thunder Ranch in Disneyland and visiting the gingerbread house at Storytellers Cafe in Disney’s Grand Californian Resort!
Every year my family visits Santa at his Disneyland home away from the North Pole. His lovely cabin in Big Thunder Ranch is the perfect escape from the harsh winter back home. He even brings along Mrs. Claus and his reindeer too!
Santa's Just Around the Corner!

Santa is one lucky guy, because Mrs. Claus has been busy in the cabin’s kitchen. All of these yummy goodies are waiting for him when he’s done listening to Christmas wishes.
