Hi there, Palom! Welcome to planDisney. The
holiday season is always such a magical time of year to visit The Happiest Place on Earth. The scents of peppermint and gingerbread are in the air as you walk down Main Street toward Sleeping Beauty’s Castle adorned with snowcapped turrets. It’s a sight to behold. Let’s see how we can make this special season even more special for your little ones.
There’s no guessing as to why the holidays are such a busy time of year for the parks. With that in mind, I would definitely recommend using
Lightning Lane selections to help maximize your time and minimize waits for popular attractions. Purchasing a
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and planning ahead with your return windows can really help you move through the parks more efficiently, especially when you’re visiting with little ones who may have less patience for long lines.
Another great way to make the most of a busy visit is to take advantage of an
on-property stay. Not only does this give you easy access to the parks, but it also allows you to stay immersed in the magic long after you leave for the day. The hotels are beautifully decorated for the holidays, and walking through the lobbies and grounds really extends that festive feeling beyond the parks themselves.
You can also sprinkle in some
character dining as a way to meet beloved Disney friends without spending extra time waiting in lines in the parks. A character breakfast at
Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian Hotel or
Goofy’s Kitchen at Disneyland Hotel is a great way to enjoy those character meet-and-greet moments in a more relaxed setting while fueling up for a full day of adventure.
Palom, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. Between Lightning Lane planning, staying on property, and enjoying festive hotel decor and character dining, you’ll have plenty of ways to soak in the magic with your children while still keeping your days smooth and manageable. I hope you have a wonderful holiday visit at the parks. If you have any more questions before then, planDisney is here to help!
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
Bev
