The holiday season is already taking shape at Islands of Adventure. Garland and colorful ornaments have appeared around Port of Entry, bringing a festive look to the streets guests pass through on their way into the park.

Christmas decorations reach Port of Entry
Photos published by WDW News Today show blue and silver decorations draped over the entrance bridge and around DeFoto’s Expedition Photography. The Islands of Adventure Trading Company and nearby balconies have garlands of their own, with colors that complement the surrounding buildings.

The WaterWorks Authority building joins in with garlands and snowflake accents. To us, these details are part of what makes Port of Entry a great holiday setting: the decorations work with the area’s existing architecture instead of covering it up.
