Walt Disney World has updated recreation schedules for guests staying at its resort hotels for the 2026 holiday season, adding a range of complimentary activities beyond the parks. Disney’s current schedules were accurate as of Nov. 2, 2026, according to Mickey Visit.
Guests can find their hotel’s activity list on the Walt Disney World website or by scanning QR codes on resort signage. On each hotel’s Disney webpage, the schedule is listed under the Recreation tab in the Activities Schedule section.
The offerings vary by resort and include fitness classes, games, movies, campfires, tours and animal-focused programming. At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, for example, a Wednesday pickleball clinic is scheduled at 9 a.m. at the Bay Lake Tower Sports Court. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge lists a daily 45-minute Art & Architecture Tour at 1 p.m., meeting by the main-lobby fireplace.
Other deluxe-resort activities include nightly Stormalong Bay trivia at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, a daily Animal Tracking presentation at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House, and a nightly Côte d’Azur Campfire at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Fort Wilderness has its own extensive recreation programming, including nightly campfire movies and Chip and Dale appearances on select nights.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World hotel and ticket packages, often with savings over booking direct.
At moderate resorts, the schedule includes a self-guided nature walk at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Coronado Nights Pool Parties at Coronado Springs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and holiday movie screenings at Port Orleans – French Quarter. Value-resort guests can find options including an arcade tournament at All-Star Sports, poolside activities at Pop Century and Wednesday Storytime Yoga at Art of Animation.
Disney typically refreshes recreation schedules every few months, though it does not publish an end date for each set of activities. The previous programming ran from Labor Day through Halloween, and individual activity times and offerings are subject to the schedules posted by each hotel. Guests planning Walt Disney World tickets and a resort stay can check their hotel’s current recreation listing before arrival.
