Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll Returns Free With 20 Trees

The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll at Walt Disney World is open through Jan. 3, 2027. It is free, and guests do not need to buy anything to take part, according to Attractions Magazine.

The stroll sends visitors around the shopping and dining district to find 20 decorated trees themed on Disney characters, Pixar films and theme park favorites. Three of the trees are new this year.

How the map and prize work

WDW News Today reports that guests can pick up a free map from any Disney Springs brochure rack. The map is also handed out at City Works Eatery & Pour House, Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers, Havaianas, The LEGO Store, The Polite Pig and the Hallmark Holiday Pop-Up Shop.

Each tree has a numbered sign. Visitors place the matching sticker from the attached sheet on the map. A finished map can be taken to one of the same six locations for a prize. This year’s prize is a pop-out Christmas tree card showing Minnie, Mickey and Pluto.

The map also lists special offers at certain Disney Springs locations. They run from Nov. 11, 2026, to Jan. 3, 2027.

The three new trees

A Monsters, Inc. tree and a Hallmark tree are new for 2026, according to WDW News Today. Attractions Magazine adds a third newcomer, a Bluey tree.

• The Monsters, Inc. tree has many eyeballs, a door, door and hard hat ornaments and a Scream Canister on top. It stands near the Marvel Super Hero Headquarters store on the West Side.
• The Bluey tree is near House of Blues and Level 99, also on the West Side.
• The Hallmark tree sits near the AMC Disney Springs movie theater and fountain. It ties in with the upcoming film Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True and the Hallmark pop-up shop.

Trees that return

Several earlier favorites are back. The Nightmare Before Christmas tree carries masks and evil toys from the film. The Toy Story tree has Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads and Little Green Men. Other trees cover Fantasia, Moana, The Princess & the Frog, Lilo & Stitch, Disney Villains and Mickey and Minnie.

The Town Center tree is the main tree of the season and has silver Aerophile ornaments. A Disney Cruise Line topiary shaped like a ship is also part of the display, and the Marketplace tree ends the route with gingerbread men, circus peanuts and a silver-and-gold star.

What this means for families visiting

The stroll has no admission cost and no set schedule, so families can walk the district at their own pace. Attractions Magazine notes that finding every tree takes some walking across the sprawling area. Families planning around the holidays can also check how Disney World handles Christmas Day.
