Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail Opens with 25 Themed Disney Trees – Over 130 Photos, Including Frozen, Beauty and the Beast Themes

Hi everyone!

The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail is back again this year, bigger than it’s debut year in 2016 (with 10 more trees) and each tree has a lot more theming to it than last year – more like Camp Minnie-Mickey used to have when it was open at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The Santa Claus meet and greet is now also along the trail, as is a small shop and snack stand. Different ornaments are promoted on the trees and on a large tree at the end of the display. I took photos of most of the trees last night, and have about 130 photos here. There are also fun posters to look at as well as snow falling. I know 130 photos sounds like a lot, but I took – in about an hour – maybe 400 photos and I could have taken more. There is a lot of detail on the trees, so you will want to see the trail for yourself! We should have a video eventually as well. There are 25 total trees, and the Christmas Tree Trail is open from 12-10 Monday through Friday and 10-10 Friday-Sunday.

It was pretty busy last night, so taking some photos was a challenge (like full tree pictures). I plan to go back and fill in a few photos that I want to add.

At the beginning of the Christmas Tree Trail, guests can check in to meet Santa. There was only an hour wait in the virtual queue, which is low compared to how long the virtual queue can be (many hours at times).

Yesterday evening, there was a living statue near the entrance. There are projections on the ground of snowflakes.

This first tree is of Disney Springs merchants.

For example, Amorettes Patisserie is here. It would be nice if each “ornament” was designed more for the theme of the shop or restaurant, maybe next year.

There were actually two living statue performers that I saw, switching out during the evening.

Signs along the trail pointed the way to meet Santa and see the trees.

This Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail sign mentions how each tree has an ornament featured on the tree that can be purchased. Some are themed to the tree, some aren’t. Like the Muppets tree I believe had a Mickey ornament on it.

Here is the Mickey and Minnie Mouse tree, with a big bow on top.

The ornament inside is Mickey and Minnie with the Walt Disney World Welcome Sign.

Mickey and Minnie sign. Lighting is a challenge here at night for photos, some trees are lit well and some less so and there are a lot of shadows.

This is one of my favorite trees, themed to Pluto.

Pluto doghouse.

Pluto’s dog collar is the topper, and there are a variety of fun items around the tree.

Pluto’s dog bone.

The Sleeping Beauty tree has a lot of pink, and the hats of the Fairy Godmothers as ornaments. Honestly, a lot of the best ornaments on the trail are the ones you can’t buy.

The Little Mermaid tree is bathed in blue lighting.

I mentioned that my favorite ornaments tended to be the ones not available to buy. The Mrs. Potts ornament is fun.

There is also a Lumiere ornament here.

Frozen has a tree as well.

There is a reindeer, skates, carrots and more.

Some of the trees have a poster “ad” near them, themed to the film they are based on. Here is a sign signifying Frozen, which was released in 2013.

The Snow White tree includes skulls, apples and more. And you will notice that the bases of the trees are also themed, some more identifiable to the tree than others.

A deer is in the tree.

The Snow White featured ornament.

The Lilo and Stitch tree reminds me of Camp Minnie-Mickey and some of the ornaments/records look like they may have come from that tree.
