Christmas at Gaylord Palms

Kissimmee, Florida: Every year the holiday’s come alive at Christmas at Gaylord Palms. The Central Florida resort comes to life as a winter wonderland with holiday surprises around every corner.

While much of the focus is directed towards the ICE! exhibit, Christmas at Gaylord Palms is much more. Live music, millions of lights and a giant Christmas tree help to deliver the holiday spirit. The atrium is decorated with over two million lights and a 54 foot Christmas Tree, providing a stunning backdrop for the Plaza Stage.

The Plaza Stage is where you can watch both of the holiday shows. Each night the festivities are kicked off with a tree lighting ceremony followed by two great musical shows. Musicians perform all of the holiday favorites during the Christmas Wonders show. Then rock out with high energy show Luminescence featuring a rock & roll band, great singers and aerial acrobatics.

In addition to the stage shows, Gaylord Palms also has Gingerbread Decorating, Visits with Santa, Carolers and a Holiday Magician all performing at various times throughout the day.

For an interactive adventure for the whole family, try the Great Reindeer Roundup. Help Santa find all his reindeer hidden throughout the resort on this holiday scavenger hunt.

Christmas at Gaylord Palms runs yearly from Thanksgiving through New Year. This year’s event started on November 23 and ends on January 5.

  For many years, a towering, iconic Sorcerer's Hat served as the unmistakable central landmark for Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios), drawing visitors deep into the park's vibrant heart. The hat, an enormous, three-dimensional representation of the magical cap worn by Mickey Mouse in his role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice from the classic film Fantasia , was initially erected as a centerpiece for the park's 100 Years of Magic celebration, honoring the centennial of Walt Disney's birth. Its prominent placement quickly cemented its status. Much like the instantly recognizable icons of the other Walt Disney World theme parks—Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, the geodesic sphere of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, and the intricately carved Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom—the Sorcerer's Hat became the park's most famous symbol and a favored backdrop for countless visitor photographs. Its design featured bold colors, stars, and the moon...
