Drosselmeyer's Toyland

Located on the right-hand of the entrance to the Holiday Village is Drosselmeyer's Toyland, a toystore, loosely themed to both The Nutcracker, and Disney's film Babes in Toyland.

Situated in a Victorian-era woodcarver's shop, this store sells all sorts of toys related to different Disney Characters and collectibles, from Disney character plushes, to action figures, and more, both for characters represented within the park, and also not.

As you walk through the aisles of toys to browse from, guests may pick up on nods to both properties the store took inspiration from. Keeping guard outside the doors are two giant nutcrackers for guests to take pictures with. Located in different corners of the shop are Toy Soldiers, also for guests to take pictures with.

If you look up into the rafters above, you may spot the Rat King and his minions sitting idly by, watching from above, while if you look out the windows that project constant snowfall, you may spot some sugar plum fairies.

Whatever you are looking for, be it references to holiday classics, or that one special toy, you are sure to find it at Drosselmeyer's Toyland.

Holiday village christmas shoppe

Located not far from Scrooge's Christmas Adventure is the Holiday Village Christmas Shoppe, the largest store in Holiday Village, and easily one of the most popular in the entire park.

While most other castle parks have their own little holiday store, the Holiday Village Christmas Shoppe takes that and expands on it, creating a two-story holiday extravaganza where guests can purchase anything and everything for all of the big holidays around the winter season.

The main floor plays host to Christmas Tree setups, where guests can purchase tree skirts, tree toppers, and endless amounts of ornaments of all of their favorite Disney characters, as well as park exclusive ornaments, and ornaments depicting the year of their Disney Vacation. Also on the main floor, guests can get their ornaments, tree skirts, Santa Hats, or other things customised by way of embroidery or printing, taking a souvenir and turning it into a personalized magical memory.

The second floor has more decorative items for homes, including wreaths with special Disney touches, garland, and even Mickey-shaped lights. It also has a rooms dedicated to Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Diwali, all with their own special items for guests to purchase for their own holidays to get in on the celebration.

Upstairs, during the actual holiday season, guests can wait in line to get a picture with Santa himself, who meets in front of a large window looking out over the village proper. During the non-holiday season, guests can sit in Santa's chair for pictures, surrounded by decorative items.

Fezziwig's tavern

Located outside of Scrooge's Christmas Adventure is Fezziwig's Tavern, a counter service restaurant serving traditional English and US Christmas and holiday fare, all themed to the exciting ball scene in A Christmas Carol. The mascot of Fezziwig's is Fezziwig himself (portrayed by Mr. Toad), and because of his jovial and fun-loving nature, the sound of fiddle and other instruments playing upbeat Christmas music plays all throught both stories of the tavern.

The tavern has indoor seating on two floors, as well as a nice outdoor seating area in a small courtyard surrounded by evergreen trees and a beautiful "frozen" fountain, as well as fake snow along the outside of it.

Visions of Sugarplums

A small snack store, this store serves as a candystore with a sweets counter, much like the Goofy's Candy Co. Stores. However, this store has a more holiday-theme to it. Above your heads, a toy train runs through a miniature version of the Holiday Village where guests can pick up their favorite holiday treats, including gingerbread, cookies, fudge, and other sweets.
