    What date is Santa set up at Disneyland this year?

    Happy Halfway to the Holidays, Susie!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney with a Christmas-themed question! The minute I saw it, I grabbed it, because Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and the way Minnie hosts the holidays makes it even more magical!

    Santa and the reindeer arrive on November 14th and will stay at the Resort through Christmas Eve. He will be in various places around the resort, but one of my favorite places to tell him my Christmas List is the Redwood Trail in California Adventure. You will also see Mickey and company dressed up in their holiday finery. Their Christmas sweaters are my favorite, but I heard on good authority that their holiday fits this year will have hints of the 70th birthday celebrations that are concurrently happening at the Land.

    Besides the characters being decked out in their holiday finery, my favorite entertainment is the Christmas Fantasy Parade! The dancing reindeer are my all-time favorite part of any Disney parade. Make sure to stay and see the stunning Holiday Magic Fireworks, and on certain days, you can celebrate Navidad with Mirabel and Miguel from Coco in California Adventure.

    Susie, watch the Disney Parks Blog, as it will be the first place to update the holiday schedule. Feel free to return with any other questions! I wish you a Very Merry Christmas.
