Hi Susanna! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
The Holidays at the Disneyland Resort are one of the most magical times to visit the parks, and I've been like you, looking at an early January trip, hoping to experience a few of the highlights like the overlays on select Attractions and
A Christmas Fantasy Parade in Disneyland Park. Guests also get to experience tasty seasonal treats, decor, Characters in their festive best, and more. While we know these magical highlights are currently set to return starting November 18, 2026, we don't yet have a firm end date. I'm sorry if that's not the answer you were hoping for today! I wish I had access to Madame Leota's crystal ball, so I could look into the future for you. But I don't.
Your preferred date worked out for me a couple of years ago, when my family visited the parks. We got a dash of the holidays for the first two days of our five-day trip. Maybe it will work out for you too, but there's no way to predict at this moment! You can always book your trip and adjust the dates, including
modifying your theme park reservation to another available day if it turns out that the Holidays don't extend to your preferred date. That's an option! Just remember that it is possible for popular days and parks to fill up, and availability isn't guaranteed. Making changes as soon as possible certainly helps, so keep your eyes on the Holidays at Disneyland Resort page for updates!
Do you love sipping and snacking during your visits? We do! I also like to pick out what I don't want to miss out on ahead of a trip.
Disney Eats is the official food news source for the parks. If you want to see the delicious and picture-worthy seasonal treats awaiting you, watch for their forthcoming update on what to expect over the holidays at the Disneyland Resort.
Have a very merry day!
Elizabeth
