Hi from Walt Disney World Resort. I'm
0:06
Mr. Daps and I'm with my new friend
0:08
Emma. Hello. And we get to talk about
0:10
the holidays at Disney Springs, which
0:14
already sounds like a blast. Maybe let's
0:16
start with a big picture. What can you
0:18
do with the holidays and then we'll dig
0:19
in a little bit specifics. How's that
0:21
sound?
0:21
Yeah, sounds great. So, at Disney
0:23
Springs, we say that everyone can find
0:25
happily whatever they're after. So,
0:28
truly something for everyone. You can
0:29
shop, dine, play, and then during the
0:31
holiday season, it has a little bit of a
0:33
extra bit of magic,
0:34
of course.
0:35
So, shopping, I will say, I do like 98%
0:39
of my own Christmas shopping at Disney
0:41
Springs because, like I said, something
0:43
for everyone, also something for me,
0:46
as you should, like
0:49
Yeah. And then dining. Um, we of course
0:52
have over 100 restaurants at Disney
0:54
Springs, so lots of different places to
0:56
eat.
0:56
I feel like that number just keeps going
0:57
up.
0:58
It does. Yeah. like every time.
0:59
Yeah, we have endless choices
1:02
essentially. And um one of my favorite
1:04
places to eat during the holidays is
1:05
Jock Lindsay's Hanger Bar,
1:07
of course,
1:07
which gets transformed into Jock
1:09
Lindsay's Holiday Bar. Um and the chefs
1:11
always knock it out of the park with the
1:13
food and beverage. So, I'm very, very
1:15
excited to see what they have in store
1:16
this year.
1:16
I mean, what could be better? Indiana
1:17
Jones themed combined with holidays and
1:21
Christmas lights.
1:21
Yes. Vintage kitsy 1940s decor. We love
1:24
it.
1:24
It's It's totally my vibe.
1:26
Yes.
1:28
And then of course play, which is
1:29
probably my favorite part of the
1:30
holidays. Um, we have the Disney Springs
1:33
Christmas tree stroll, which is very
1:35
fun.
1:35
Yes. And it's all of your favorite
1:37
Disney, Pixar, Star Wars movies are
1:40
inspiring these very extravagant trees.
1:43
We have our um tree inspired by Tim
1:44
Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas here
1:46
today. And a lot of them also interact
1:48
with your Magikan Plus. So very a fun
1:52
little addition of that, just making the
1:54
tree stroll more interactive. And then I
1:56
will say the nightly snowfall is another
1:58
one of my favorites. So I am originally
2:00
from Michigan and I love that I can get
2:04
snow in Disney Springs every night
2:06
without the cold weather.
2:07
Very fair. Former motan here.
2:09
Yes. Yes.
2:11
Where do you find that?
2:12
So it's in town center um right by where
2:15
um the welcome center, anthropology,
2:17
that area. Uh it snows every night right
2:19
by the big town center tree and it's
2:21
kind of like the center of property.
2:22
It's so magical because the music comes
2:24
on, the lights go up, and it just snows.
2:27
And seeing all of the guests react to it
2:29
because some of them know and some of
2:31
them are waiting for it, but some people
2:32
are just, you know, walking around
2:33
shopping and it just starts snowing. So,
2:35
I'm assuming that sporadically happens
2:37
throughout the night, so it's not like a
2:39
one time oops.
2:40
Correct. Yes. Throughout the night,
2:41
every day.
2:42
Okay. Very cool. Um, then, uh, is there
2:46
also like entertainment and stuff
2:47
happening there? I saw a band the other
2:49
night when we were walking through.
2:50
Yes. Our entertainment team does a
2:52
fantastic job with just really creating
2:54
the atmosphere at Disney Springs. And
2:56
during the holidays, we have our
2:58
different musical acts on the stages. We
3:00
have some of our atmosphere
3:01
entertainment. Um, you may have seen in
3:03
the past some of those like uh stilt
3:05
walkers that are like the toys
3:07
forgot about that.
3:07
Yeah, Douglas Fur. He is a fan favorite.
3:11
The talking Christmas tree. Um, and then
3:13
of course Santa Claus. You can meet
3:14
Santa at Disney.
3:15
Forget Santa Claus.
3:16
The man himself.
3:18
Abs. Where do you meet Santa at? So,
3:20
he's in the marketplace. Um, and you we
3:22
do also have a virtual queue. So, you
3:23
don't have to stand in line and wait for
3:25
him. You can get in the virtual queue
3:27
and then shop around, grab some food,
3:29
and then come back when it's your turn.
3:30
So, I love that cuz it's like replacing
3:32
the Miracle on 34th Street Macy's thing
3:36
and not having to stand in that massive
3:38
line that Yes. that nobody has fun with.
3:41
Let's be honest. Like, that is not a
3:43
part of the holiday season is I went and
3:46
waited in a 2hour line for Santa.
3:48
Exactly. Instead, you can grab some food
3:50
at Hangar Bar and then meet Santa.
3:53
I love that. Do other bars also decorate
3:55
or restaurants or is it like that's the
3:58
focal point?
3:58
I think that's probably the one that
4:00
really goes all out. A lot of them will
4:02
have kind of touches here and there. And
4:04
then of course, a lot of them have food.
4:05
So, even like Amarest Peter, the bakery,
4:08
they're works of art. All of their
4:10
desserts,
4:10
everything's just, you know, touch of
4:12
the holidays here and there. I'm always
4:13
afraid to like eat stuff from there
4:15
because it it literally looks like a
4:17
work of art versus
4:18
Oh, yeah. We can eat this and it's also
4:20
delicious.
4:21
Yes. Yeah.
4:21
I love that. Um reservations for
4:25
restaurants, I'm assuming, are a good
4:27
idea. Is that
4:28
Yes, especially during the holiday
4:30
season. Um we do see a lot of people
4:32
coming to celebrate the holidays with
4:33
us. So, definitely on the My Disney
4:35
Experience app or online would recommend
4:37
reservations for
4:38
as early as you can.
4:39
Yes. Yes.
4:40
Absolutely. All right. most important
4:42
question of the day.
4:43
Okay,
4:44
going back to that Christmas tree stroll
4:45
because that actually is one of my
4:47
favorite things that just it's so
4:49
magical.
4:50
Do you have a favorite tree and or
4:53
favorite detail on a tree? So, you've
4:55
got you've got options here.
4:57
That's so hard. I love all the trees and
5:00
and I'm sure it changes every time you
5:01
walk through, too.
5:02
Yes. Yes. And they they change it every
5:03
year. They switch out some of the trees.
5:05
They come up with new ones. I will say
5:07
on the Nightmare Before Christmas tree,
5:10
which is probably one of my favorites
5:11
because um I usually when I'm writing
5:13
social content, that's my Christmas Eve
5:15
tree post because it's the Nightmare
5:18
Before Christmas.
5:19
That totally makes sense.
5:20
Um so yes, but that one there are little
5:23
ornaments that are like Jack and Sally,
5:25
but my favorite is Zero's at the top of
5:27
the tree, and when you interact with the
5:29
tree with your Magic Band Plus, at the
5:31
very end, you can hear Zero barking.
5:33
Oh, and and there's a demo over there,
5:35
so we can check it out.
5:37
Oh, we totally I've been watching it and
5:39
I'm like, we're going over there at some
5:41
point. Uh, that's that's really
5:43
fantastic. How do we know how many trees
5:44
there are or is that kind of like it
5:46
shows up?
5:46
We are still waiting to see.
5:48
That's to be determined. So stay tuned
5:50
