The Orlando World Center Marriott has announced its upcoming 'Twelve Nights of Wonder' — a comprehensive holiday activation scheduled to run from December 20 through December 31, 2026. This celebration transforms the expansive resort into a seasonal destination that merges Florida's warm climate with traditional winter festivities.
'Twelve Nights of Wonder' is a resort-wide initiative that effectively addresses the challenge many families face during the holiday season — finding a single location that offers diverse, multi-generational entertainment without requiring extensive off-site travel or coordination of separate activities. The centrepiece of the evening activation is the Winter Wonderland Village, operating from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Falls Pool area. By consolidating daytime pool events, an evening village experience, character appearances, and spectacular fireworks into one continuous 12-day program, the property creates a turnkey solution for vacationers seeking to maximize their holiday experience while minimizing logistical headaches.
