A very warm planDisney welcome to you, Kimberley! Thank you so much for visiting and sharing your question with us as you plan your upcoming visit to Disneyland Resort!
I'm so excited for the
merriest time of year at Disneyland Resort. It really is magical to see Main Street, U.S.A. decked out with festive garland and wreaths while Sleeping Beauty Castle is transformed with thousands of winter lights, icicles, and snowcapped turrets. It's so beautiful! Kimberley, I am happy to share with you that this year's Holiday festivities officially begin November 15, 2024 so you are bound to see all of the holiday decorations in place by that date! However, in my experience, the transformations often begin earlier in other parts of the resort such as the Disneyland Resort hotel properties and the Downtown Disney District. All to say, I don't think there will be any shortage of holiday cheer when you arrive in late November! If you're looking for a special holiday gift to take home to friends and loved ones, I suggest considering a customized ornament from
Plaza Point where the Cast Members can hand paint a special date, name, or unique phrase to commemorate your visit for a small fee. Or, you can stop by the holiday cart at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for some lovely pre-packaged holiday treats. I love bringing them home to my kids' teachers and coaches as a commemorative "thank you" gift during the holidays!
I hope this has been a helpful start to your ongoing preparations for your visit, Kimberley. If we can help with any other recommendations, please don't hesitate to reach out to
planDisney again! We'd love to help.
Warm wishes,
Tishra
