Hi Rebecca! Welcome to planDisney. I’d be delighted to help you get ready for your next Disneyland Resort adventure.
I completely understand why you’d be keeping such a close eye on the reservation calendar, especially during the holiday season! After checking the
Imagine Key Reservation Availability Calendar for December, I can share that certain days are currently open to book. Since the
Imagine Key comes with some blockout dates, it’s important to note that Saturdays, Sundays, and select Fridays won’t appear as available options. Another detail to keep in mind is that Imagine Key holders can only hold two active theme park reservations at a time, which sometimes explains why a date looks “unavailable to book” even though it isn’t fully reserved yet. If you’ve confirmed you’re within your limit and still run into issues, I recommend contacting the
Magic Key Holder phone line, where a helpful Cast Member can walk you through the process and ensure your reservation goes through.
Now, let’s talk about why December is worth the extra effort to secure! The entire Resort transforms into a sparkling holiday wonderland. Sleeping Beauty Castle glimmers as the Winter Castle, draped with icy-blue lights and shimmering snow-capped turrets. Over at “it’s a small world” Holiday, thousands of multicolored lights brighten the exterior, while inside, each room highlights global holiday traditions set to a cheerful new arrangement of the familiar tune. This year adds an extra dose of magic with Mickey and Minnie stepping out in brand-new holiday attire designed to honor Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary, a perfect opportunity for holiday photos.
At Disney California Adventure, the festive spirit continues with the Festival of the Holidays. You’ll find lively entertainment, multicultural celebrations, and the Festive Foods Marketplace offering seasonal bites from around the world. Buena Vista Street glows with nostalgic decorations, and Cars Land adds its whimsical “Haul-idays” touches. I always recommend catching the neon lighting ceremony in Radiator Springs; hearing “Sh-Boom” play while the town lights up with holiday sparkle is pure joy.
Rebecca, I hope your upcoming holiday visit is full of twinkling lights, warm cocoa, and the unforgettable magic of Disneyland Resort. And remember, we at planDisney are always here to help if more planning questions pop up.
Wishing you the merriest visit!
David
