    I want to plan a trip to DLR late November/early December, but I can’t see what the hours will be for that day along with what rides/restaurants/etc. will be closed and any special events/activities may be occurring. Help!!!

    Welcome back to planDisney, Lara! Thank you for visiting and bringing your question to us.

    As a fellow planner, I completely understand your concern. The Hours & Events Calendar is available about a month out at a time. This means that if you were to look at the calendar today, you would only be able to see the schedule for September through mid-October. I apologize if this is not the news you were expecting.

    Fortunately, you can get a preview of what you can expect on your trip over at the Disney Parks Blog, which features an article detailing the events and activities you can experience during the Holiday season. As you may already know, the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort officially begin on November 15, 2024. If you visit in late November/ early December you will surely experience many of the Holiday offerings.

    I'd like to share with you a few of my must-dos during this magical season at the Theme Parks. For entertainment, I recommend the A Christmas Fantasy Parade and "Believe...In Holiday Magic" Fireworks Spectacular at Disneyland Park. Don't miss attractions like "it's a small world" Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday, which is only accessible via Virtual Queue this year. At Disney California Adventure Park, you must stop by Cars Land to view the beautiful holiday decor and experience the holiday-themed attractions in the land. If you are a foodie, check out the Festive Foods Marketplaces and Disney ¡Viva Navidad! for festive entertainment. My favorite, however, is the World of Color - Season of Light nighttime spectacular. It is a must if you love Christmas music and Disney Stories!

    During your visit, the Disneyland App will be your best pal for checking entertainment showtimes, placing Mobile Orders for food and drinks, entering the parks, and so much more. 

    Lara, I hope this helps you as you continue planning for your upcoming trip. Please don't hesitate to return if you have any other questions. You know where to find us!

    Your Pal,
    Alejandra
