Hey there, Michelle!
Welcome to planDisney and how wonderful to hear that you have a Christmas Day visit to the
Disneyland Resort planned! We certainly want you to be prepared for your long overseas trip, so let's get down to details!
First of all, both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure have historically been open on Christmas Day. The Daily Schedule, which is published six weeks in advance, hasn't yet been updated to include December 25, 2024 but I don't anticipate their Christmas Day hours to change. The Holidays can be busier in terms of crowds, so I would definitely plan ahead and purchase your tickets and book your park reservations well ahead of time. I'm sure that a good travel agent should be able to assist your with this. It's especially important because all Guests visiting the Parks need a ticket and park reservation for that date.
The
Holiday Season is one of the most beautiful times to see the Resort and you'll be in a festive mood in no time! From the snow covered Sleeping Beauty Castle to Haunted Mansion Holiday, there are so many reasons to enjoy the Parks! Be on the lookout for the Holiday Foodie Guide from the
Disney Parks Blog that should be published before your visit. I love planning out my culinary adventures based on these guides!
Michelle, I wish you the best as you plan your super fun trip! If you have any further questions, please write us again because we'd love to hear from you. As always, you're welcome as can be here at planDisney!
Wishing You a Great, Big Beautiful Tomorrow!
