Here’s a Walt Disney World Christmas wish list packed with dreams, experiences, and a sprinkle of pixie dust. How many of these wishes match yours?

25. All the Kids’ Jokes Featured at Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor

The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is one of the most interactive Disney attractions, offering guests a chance to be part of the show. Hearing your little one’s joke shared on stage brings laughter and pride, creating a memory to treasure forever.

Located in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom, this attraction blends humor with the charm of Monsters, Inc. characters, making it a must-visit spot for families seeking fun and engagement.

Make sure to prepare a joke before you visit and keep the magic alive!

24. A Disney Resort in Texas

Imagine the magic of Disney without the need for a long journey. A Disney resort in Texas would bring the magic closer for millions of fans, offering regional accessibility to a whole new audience. By expanding Disney Resorts locations, the company could create unforgettable experiences for families in the heart of the country, reducing travel time and making the magic more attainable.

Such a location could feature unique attractions and themes inspired by Texas culture, blending the state’s charm with Disney’s signature enchantment. Think of attractions that celebrate the Lone Star State alongside classic Disney favorites. (Are you listening, Santa?)

23. More Lightning Lane Selections Per Day

We’d love to see an option to make more than three Lightning Lane selections per day, giving Guests even more flexibility to enjoy their favorite attractions. Imagine seamlessly hopping from Pirates of the Caribbean to Space Mountain, then ending the day with your favorite nighttime spectacular. It’s a wish that would add convenience and maximize magic.

22. Exclusive Limited-Capacity Days

Picture this: A day when only the first 5,000 Guests are allowed into Magic Kingdom. No crowds, no stress—just pure magic. This could create an unparalleled experience for Guests, with walk-on rides, shorter dining lines, and an atmosphere of calm that lets the magic shine even brighter.

Such days could feature exclusive events or special perks for those lucky enough to attend.

21. Autism Celebration Day

A day dedicated to families with autism would create an inclusive and stress-free environment, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the Disney magic to its fullest.

20. Two Nights in the Cinderella Castle Suite

The ultimate Disney dream—a stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite—is a magical retreat like no other. Nestled in the heart of the Magic Kingdom, this exclusive suite is located inside Cinderella Castle, the iconic centerpiece of Walt Disney World.

Its ornate decor includes lavish furnishings, glittering mosaics, and a royal bathroom with a twinkling starry ceiling. Guests are treated to unparalleled Disney service, complete with private access to the suite and a dedicated concierge. The exclusivity of this experience is part of its charm, as the suite is not available for public booking and is typically reserved for special giveaways or magical surprises.

Imagine the enchantment of falling asleep surrounded by Disney history and waking up to a view of an empty park, ready to make more unforgettable memories.

19. A Perfect Dining Day Without Guilt

How about breakfast at Wish Makers Enchanted Dining, lunch at Crystal Palace, dinner at Be Our Guest, and dessert at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater—with zero added pounds? Sign us up! Imagine indulging in all your favorite Disney dishes without a second thought. From churros to Mickey pretzels, the perfect dining day would be the ultimate foodie dream.

18. Perfect Weather in Summer

Wouldn’t it be magical if every summer day in the parks had a high of 72 degrees? No more battling the Florida heat—just pleasant, breezy fun. Think of enjoying outdoor queues and parades without sweating or scrambling for shade.

A heartfelt wish: that every child who dreams of visiting Walt Disney World gets the chance to experience its magic. From Make-A-Wish to other charitable programs, expanding these initiatives could bring joy to countless families.

12. Toy Story Land Exclusives

We wish for early access to Toy Story Land attractions, especially the Slinky Dog Dash coaster. Santa, can you make this happen? Imagine an exclusive character breakfast or after-hours event that lets fans immerse themselves in Andy’s backyard.

11. Disney World Closer to Home

For fans living far away, a closer Disney park (hello again, Texas!) would make visiting the magic much easier. Regional parks could introduce new audiences to Disney while maintaining the same level of enchantment.

10. Magic That Heals

Imagine if Disney’s magic could cure every child who visits through programs like Make-A-Wish. It’s the kind of dream worth wishing for. Imagine incorporating more healing initiatives directly into the parks.

Experiencing the Disney Christmas Parade live and in-person would make for the ultimate holiday memory. The process begins well before the parade airs, with early morning and late-night rehearsals where floats are meticulously decorated with twinkling lights and holiday cheer.

6. Annual Pass Perks Across All Parks

Wouldn’t it be magical if Walt Disney World annual passes also worked at Disneyland? One pass for all parks—a perfect gift! This added benefit could bring bi-coastal magic within reach.

5. Dinoland U.S.A. in My Backyard

It’s a little whimsical, but wouldn’t it be amazing to have Dinoland U.S.A. relocated to your backyard? If Disney World isn’t going to keep it, maybe this one isn’t too far-fetched. Think of the nostalgia this could bring to fans of the beloved land.

4. Bring Back Animation Classes

The drawing classes at the Animation Courtyard were a fan favorite. Let’s bring them back so Guests can create their own Disney art. Imagine sharpening your skills alongside talented Disney artists.

The Main Street Electrical Parade holds a special place in many hearts, with its history stretching back to its debut in Disneyland in 1972. This beloved nighttime spectacular has brought joy to countless Disney fans over the decades, becoming a quintessential part of Disney Christmas traditions.

Featuring twinkling lights, iconic music, and floats filled with beloved characters, the parade encapsulates the magic of the holidays on Main Street.
