Toy Story Land’s heroes are dressed for Christmas at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom’s Dug, Pluto, Goofy, Donald and Daisy added holiday touches to their safari gear.
The holiday season reached Andy’s backyard.
Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear are now meeting guests in holiday costumes at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, WDW News Today reports. Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Dug, Pluto, Goofy, Donald and Daisy also debuted festive looks this week.
Here is what each character is wearing and where to find them.
What are Woody and Jessie wearing for the holidays?
Woody’s vest got the biggest glow-up. It is bright red and lined with a candy cane pattern.
A Christmas tree patch sits on the right side. A gift patch is on the left, with his sheriff’s badge pinned above it. A green design wraps around the vest from front to back, and he has a candy cane tucked into his holster.
Jessie wears a bright green vest lined with a red and white candy pattern, plus a peppermint patch on each side.
Guests can meet Woody and Jessie at their usual spot near the Toy Story Mania entrance.
Where can you meet Buzz Lightyear in his holiday costume?
Buzz keeps it simple. He added a Santa hat and called it a day.
He meets near the entrance to Toy Story Land, across the walkway from Roundup Rodeo BBQ. Honestly, a space ranger in a Santa hat might be the best photo of the bunch.
What holiday costumes are at Disney’s Animal Kingdom?
Animal Kingdom’s characters kept their safari outfits but added holiday flair:
Dug from Up wears a red plaid bow around his collar. WDW News Today says his voice box greeted them with seasonal lines like “happy holidays.”
Pluto added a set of multicolored holiday lights on top of his usual patched scarf.
Goofy swapped his yellow and black safari shirt for a red and green plaid one.
Donald has a sprig of holly on his shirt pocket and a ring of holly on his safari hat.
Daisy wears a red poinsettia bow at her neck and a braided red band on her hat.
Dug meets at Discovery Island Trails West. Pluto and Goofy meet together in Asia, between Mandala Gifts and the Everest shrine. Donald and Daisy meet near Garden Gate Gifts.
Appearance times for all of them are in the My Disney Experience app.
Which other Disney World characters have holiday costumes?
More are joining the party. WDW News Today reports that Mickey and Minnie, Nick and Judy from Zootopia, and Chip ‘n’ Dale are also wearing holiday outfits this year.
Santa is in a new spot, too. At Animal Kingdom, he is now meeting guests at Santa’s Holiday Grove, and the park’s Merry Menagerie puppets are back for the season.
How long will the holiday costumes be at Disney World?
Disney does not post an end date for character costumes. Holiday looks usually stay through the Christmas season and wrap up in early January, when the decor comes down.
The busiest stretch is Christmas week. If photos with holiday Woody are on your list, aim for earlier in December or right when the park opens.
Did Disneyland get new holiday costumes too?
It did, and they are bigger. Disneyland’s Mickey and friends are wearing brand-new alpine-inspired outfits in Town Square, with train appliques, conductor hats and even fairy wings for Daisy.
Disney World’s approach this year is more about small, fun add-ons. That is not a complaint. A candy cane in Woody’s holster is exactly the kind of detail kids notice first.
