Hi there, Jennifer!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I can't wait for you to experience the
festive holidays at the Disneyland Resort. From the moment you step foot on Main Street, U.S.A. you will feel the spirit of the season. You'll be welcomed with detailed decor, familiar Christmas music, and you may even see some of your favorite Characters dressed in their holiday best. I also love this time of year for its decadent treats that you can find all over both parks at Quick Service and Table Service restaurants. I can't wait to try this year's yule log at Plaza Inn and some of the adorable desserts at Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe.
Since this time of year tends to be very popular, I suggest purchasing your tickets before you arrive. This will save you precious time during your visit. You can easily purchase tickets
on the Disneyland Resort website or even right from your mobile device using the
Disneyland app. This app will also be your number one resource when it comes time for your vacation. You can view interactive park maps, see attraction wait times, mobile order food at select Quick Service Restaurants, and even make digital Disney FASTPASS selections with
Disney MaxPass. I highly recommend utilizing Disney MaxPass during your trip since it will help maximize your day when crowds are heavy. You'll get to experience more attractions than ever while also minimizing time in lines. Since you have a first-time visitor in your party, don't forget to stop by City Hall in Disneyland Park to pick up a complimentary "1st Visit" button.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions!
-Jennifer
