It’s starting to look a lot like the holidays over at EPCOT in Walt Disney World Resort. Let’s take a look at the Festival of the Holidays decor we spotted this morning around the park.
Festival Signage
As you enter the park, you’ll see a vibrant display featuring holiday foliage, such as poinsettia plants, and holiday iconography. At the center is a sign that reads EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Presented by AdventHealth.
Around the festival sign are several different types of holiday icons. There are two sets of five candles with a holiday wreath, a display showing sweets in jars or under cloches, and torches and lanterns.
Here’s a shot of the sign at night with Spaceship Earth lit up behind.
Holiday Decor
At the EPCOT main entrance, garlands are strung between the walls. At the center of them are oversized globe ornaments with silver bows.
Although hard to spot in the daytime, we noticed trees strung with holiday lights near the front of the park.
Even Gateway Gifts is getting into the spirit of the season with fanciful garlands. There are several heavily decorated garlands around the store. They’ve got lights, metallic baubles, stars, and white poinsettias.
Communicore Hall now has Festival of the Holidays symbols and signage. The white signs feature gold filigree and twinkle stars.
At the nearby CommuniCore Plaza stage, which is set up for “JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season,” there are signs explaining the show and its celebration of both Kwanzaa and Christmas.
The Holiday Sweets and Treats kiosk is set up to satisfy sweet tooths during the season. Across the front of the kiosk are images of various desserts and sweet treats. At the center, just behind the kiosk sign, is a pine wreath with gold and blue ornaments.
The Odyssey pavilion is also adorned with a variety of holiday-themed images, with the park’s iconic geodesic dome pattern visible in the background.
The image panels on the Odyssey pavilion display similar goodies shown elsewhere around the park, such as the torches and lanterns. There are also additional images, such as a cardinal with a burgundy holiday package with a green ribbon.
At the front entrance of The Odyssey pavilion, a new sign reads “Meet Santa Goofy” and “Enjoy Holiday Hearth Desserts.” Holiday Hearth Desserts is a special food installation for the Festival of the Holidays.
