Part of the Walt Disney Presents exhibit at Disney's Hollywood Studios is about to look different, as Walt Disney World Resort swaps in a holiday theme for two of the walkthrough attraction's rotating spaces starting in November.
What the Exhibit Normally Offers
Walt Disney Presents tells the story of Walt Disney's personal life and career through permanent museum pieces. Beyond those fixtures, guests will find a rotating display area that typically features Disney Parks or Disney Cruise Line concept art, as well as film props and costumes.
There's also a meet-and-greet space where Ariel from the live-action The Little Mermaid (2023) currently appears, along with a theater screening the 15-minute documentary Walt Disney: One Man's Dream (2001).
The Holiday Swap
Disney Parks Blog shared the news on October 6 as part of a broader announcement about the holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, which runs from November 13, 2026, to January 6, 2027. That lineup also includes three Christmas ride overlays and a new Santa Claus meet-and-greet.
For this exhibit, the rotating display space will showcase props and artifacts from beloved holiday films. Last year's version featured screen-used items from The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), The Santa Clause (1994), Babes in Toyland (1961), and more. Walt Disney World Resort hasn't said which films will be represented this time.
The theater will also trade its usual documentary for holiday-themed shorts, including Walt Disney's On Ice (1935), Pluto's Christmas Tree (1952), and The Art of Skiing (1941).
Dates to Know
Guests can see the holiday overlay from November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027. In previous years, it has also been open during Disney Jollywood Nights, the after-hours event at Disney's Hollywood Studios. This year's event takes place on select nights from November 7, 2026, through January 5, 2027.
