The best time to visit Disney Springs is during the Christmas season

From the giant Christmas tree overflowing with twinkle lights, to the delightful sights and sounds of the holiday season, to all the special photo ops around every corner, Disney Srpings is the place to go for Christmas.

Plus, there’s a live performances of classic Christmas tunes—you can’t help but start swaying along as soon as the music starts!

With holiday treats everywhere you look, like decadent chocolates drizzled with crunchy peanuts or gourmet marshmallow-filled popcorn finished off with a chocolate shell, it’s like stepping right into a winter wonderland.

Here’s a unique overhead view of Mickey flower pots and fountain using my Insta360 360 camera.
