    Hello! We, a party of 16, will be visiting Disneyland on 1/1/2022 and 1/4/2022. We would like to bring our own lunches. Are the picnic tables outside the main gate open at this time? Are lockers still open so we can store our lunches?

    Hey there, hi there, ho there, Kathy! You’re as welcome as can be to planDisney!

    It looks like you’re already on your way to making magic at the Happiest Place on Earth right now, and I couldn’t be more excited for you! Hopefully I can catch you before you begin your magical day in the parks. I checked with a Cast Member, and was told that you’re in luck – the Picnic Area just outside the Main Entrance to Disneyland Park is currently open, as are the Locker Rentals! The Picnic Area is the perfect spot for your party of 16 to relax in the shade while leisurely enjoying your outdoor meal. Plus, I love the convenience of the adjacent set of lockers, offering the perfect spot to store your lunches until you need them! What a perfect way to save money and rest during your Disneyland Resort vacation!

    You’re visiting at the ideal time, since you still get to enjoy the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort this week! At Disneyland Park, you won’t want to miss my favorite holiday festivities, including A Christmas Fantasy Parade, “it’s a small world” Holiday, and Haunted Mansion Holiday! Over at Disney California Adventure Park, look out for Disney Festival of Holidays for a seasonal celebration featuring diverse cultural festivities, food, and fun! My children and I especially enjoy watching Disney ¡Viva Navidad! Street Party in Paradise Gardens Park… watch out for some favorite familiar characters to make a special appearance! Last but not least, keep your eyes peeled for the Three Kings’ Day celebration, which can also be found in Paradise Gardens Park. 

    Wishing you and your crew a magical, pixie-dusted day, Kathy!

Meet the Panelist: Kristin, California

Greetings from sunny California! I live less than an hour from the Disneyland Resort, and have been an Annual Passholder (and now a Magic Key Passholder) for more than 20 years! As a mom of three kids ages 5-10, I consider myself an expert at navigating the Disneyland Resort with little ones. My family of five can’t get enough of the magic and happiness we encounter every time we step foot on Main Street, U.S.A. I look forward to sprinkling pixie dust on your next visit to the Happiest Place on Earth! Learn More About Kristin
