Imagine a holiday wonderland where you wake up in a tropical paradise to the sun shining through the windows. Santa Claus himself is waiting for you in the resort lobby to share a hearty breakfast and tales of his most recent adventures. Light the candles on each night of Hanukkah for a Festival of Lights that embraces the island vibes. End 2024 in style with a New Year’s Eve celebration that welcomes 2025 with lights, music, and excitement for new experiences to come.

Margaritaville Resort Orlando is ready with special events designed to help create new holiday memories to share with the ones you love.

Holiday Celebration

The festivities continue on Thursday, December 19th, with Margaritaville Resort Orlando’s Holiday Celebration to excite guests of all ages for Christmas Day. Head over to the Grand Lobby from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to show off those dance moves you’ve been saving for the holidays. Recharge at St. Somewhere Spa with complimentary chair massages before suiting up for the party’s ugly Christmas sweater contest. Be one of the first 500 registered guests for the chance to toast to the festivities with a free, delicious, non-alcoholic eggnog. With the arrival of Santa and his merry crew of elves and Towering Toy Soldiers, you have the perfect selfie to show off to everyone back at home.

Holiday Toy Drive

The spirit of Christmas is all about giving and you have the chance to channel your inner Santa during the Holiday Toy Drive. Margaritaville Resort Orlando is bringing in the magic with Give Kids The World Village, a Central Florida nonprofit resort that aims to inspire hope and cheer for critically ill kids and their families. Join in on the magic by donating a new, unwrapped toy that will help a child in need experience the wonders of the holidays.
