Disney Springs Christmas Trees 2023

Posted on by Ian C.

This morning we returned to Disney Springs to walk their Christmas Tree Stroll, with trees placed throughout the outdoor shopping area. There was a FREE map and stickers available, allowing us to mark each tree on the map as we found it:

We started at the Lego store where we got the map, walked east past Ghirardelli as far as needed to find the trees, then backtracked and eventually reached Cirque Du Soleil spotting the rest of the trees, and photographing each one …

A pleasant morning, and the light rain didn’t spoil things (or make the map wet!)

Central Florida Community Arts: Once Upon A Dream

Last night we attended a fabulous musical choral + orchestral performance of Disney music, much of it in entertaining medleys and most of it recognizable. The performance was at Northland Church which is an amazing venue (and didn’t push religion too heavily!) … it’s introduced us to CFCArt and I think we will try to catch more of their work in the future …

I’ve included the playlist and some photos of the event (photos and even video allowed, so long as no flash/lights); the background is an animated projection showing images relevant to the performance (the rose for example is during Beauty and the Beast):

Here’s a little video to show just how good the performers were:

Unlike previous years (2018, 2019) the Christmas Trees are scattered throughout the shopping areas of Disney Springs rather than clustered together in a special area – better for the shops no doubt as it makes people walk around … We walked from end to end yesterday and I think we caught all of the trees and a few other decorations (though it was busy so maybe we missed something!)
