Cozy Resort Vibes
Fall is the perfect time to book a stay at:
- Disney’s Wilderness Lodge – Rustic charm and warm ambiance

If your trip falls in late November, you’ll catch the magical transition from fall to the holiday season. That means:
- Christmas decorations begin appearing across the parks and resorts
- Holiday merchandise hits the shelves—perfect for early gift shopping
- PhotoPass opportunities with festive backdrops and seasonal attire
