Festively decorated store windows showcase mannequins dressed in Disney-themed Christmas costumes, surrounded by colorful gifts and sparkling holiday decorations, evoking the enchanting atmosphere of the holidays at Disney parks and capturing the joyful spirit brought to life each season by Cast Members.

For our merchandise presentation team, the holiday season is the culmination of almost a year of work – they start planning for the holidays in January! They start with the concept phase, talking with the product and merchandise development team that gives them a glimpse of what the next season will bring. Then in summertime, they start working on the details of the design from ornaments, ribbons and everything that will be used to create their magic. Talk about Christmas in July, right?

As soon as Halloween ends, the teams start to work on the actual install of the window displays. At that point, they can finally share with our guests what they have worked on for the whole year.

Step into the magic of Disney Holidays as you peer through the store window, where festive Mickey Mouse merchandise—including stockings, cozy sweaters, and dazzling decorations—fills the cheerful Holiday Windows. Each display is expertly crafted by Disney Cast Members to bring that signature holiday cheer guests know and love from their favorite Disney parks.

Holiday window decorations at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom Park

Installing these window displays is no small task. There are around 30 windows on Main Street, U.S.A., and each one receives unique décor and theming. At the Emporium, for example, the team retells the story of the shop’s original proprietor, Osium Osh Popham, by re-creating how the windows would have looked at the turn of the 20^th century.

At Disney Springs, the team ensures all of the displays continue the story of World of Disney, which is an artists’ loft. They “merried” the product and décor to the theming of the store, as well.
