Ho Ho Ho, Ashley! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I am ecstatic that you are planning a holiday visit to the Disneyland Resort!
You are going to be dazzled by the abundant glittering lights and decor that adorn nearly every corner of the parks. The facade of "it's a small world" is absolutely breathtaking when it's lit up at night! The Disneyland Resort typically does not have a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party like the Walt Disney World Resort. Instead, you will be treated to A Christmas Fantasy Parade, Believe...In Holiday Magic fireworks, and festive overlays of some of your favorite attractions. The Disney Parks Blog just did a
Christmas in July preview on the Disneyland Resort that you should check out. While you are there, make sure to follow the Disney Parks Blog on social media and sign up for their email list so you will be the first to know when they announce the official dates and offerings for the
Holidays in 2017.
Make sure to plan ample time in Disney California Adventure Park during your trip so you can savor all the delicious food during the Disney Festival of Holidays.
Festive Food Marketplace kiosks will line the path that takes you into the Paradise Pier area and will offer goodies inspired by different cuisines. Then, meander on over to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail for a visit with the jolly old elf himself, Santa!
Please return to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with any other questions you may have!
