Hi there, Laure! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. I can see that you are hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth in just a few days, so I won't waste a minute before diving into an answer for you!
Now that holiday week has arrived, the Disneyland Resort is hustling and bustling with holly jolly spirit ... and the seasonal crowds have arrived. Currently, all Guests are required to have both a
theme park ticket and a
theme park reservation to enter the parks. The reservation holds a spot in a particular park on a particular day, and they are limited and subject to availability. Taking a peek at the
theme park reservation calendar, I can see that reservations are currently not available for either of your dates. While you can give the
Guest Services Team a call, they will be looking at the same calendar that is available to Guests on the Disneyland website. While I don't have quite enough pixie dust to open up the calendar for you, what I can tell you is that Guests are always changing their plans and canceling and rescheduling reservations. With some faith, trust, and patience ... and some diligent refreshing of the calendar, you may see a date open up especially as you get closer to the holiday. Guests are asked to cancel reservations by 11:59 p.m. the evening before, so that day is a great day to continue checking.
Laure, I know this was not the merriest news to hear! While I know it may not be the exact magic you were envisioning, the spirit of the season can be felt throughout the Disneyland Resort, including outside of the parks. I know a festive day can be had strolling through
Downtown Disney District and then popping into
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. There is nothing quite like that beautiful lobby to welcome you with the fireplaces burning, the scent of the giant gingerbread replica wafting through the air, and a handful of sweets and hot cocoa from the
GCH Holiday Cart. I've heard the Waffle Shot is not to be missed!
I'll be wishing upon a star that the reservation calendar opens up for you, Laure! If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to us here at
planDisney.
Never stop dreaming,
Tara
