Welcome to planDisney, Jane!
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year at The Happiest Place on Earth. I love all the merry music, the festive décor, the seasonal snacks, and the special events. It's great to see the return of the
Disney Festival of the Holidays at Disney California Adventure Park. I always appreciate the seasonal overlays on various attractions too, especially
Haunted Mansion Holiday.
Jane, the Holiday décor will officially be up from
November 11 until January 8. In past years, certain decorations have gone up even earlier. Since you'll be arriving on January 7, it looks like you'll be able to enjoy the decorations right before they're taken down. So make sure you've got plenty of space on your camera so that you can take lots of pictures and videos.
You might even be able to catch one of the seasonal nighttime spectaculars, like
World of Color - Season of Light or
"Believe...In Holiday Magic" Fireworks Spectacular. Whatever you do, don't miss
Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle. And stop by the
Mint Julip Bar to see if they're selling any seasonal Mickey beignets!
I hope and trust you'll have a fabulous vacation, Jane. Thanks for stopping by planDisney. See ya real soon!
