Season’s greetings, Kailyn, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! The holiday season may still be more than five months away, but it’s never too early to start planning for the holidays at the Happiest Place on Earth! In fact, the holiday season is my favorite time of year at the Disneyland Resort!
While Walt Disney World Resort has
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disneyland Resort doesn’t have a specially-ticketed event for the holiday season. However, that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of holiday cheer – in fact, there’s plenty of it at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park! My absolute favorite part of the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort is the
Christmas Fantasy Parade. It features catchy music, entertaining performances, and of course, Santa Claus!
Speaking of
Santa Claus, Guests are welcome to meet him in several locations of the Disneyland Resort. Inside Disneyland Park, Santa can be found in Critter Country, just outside of the Splash Mountain exit. I love the forest setting for Santa’s meet-and-greet in Disney California Adventure Park, too, inside Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. I recommend downloading the
Disneyland app so you can easily find Santa when you’re ready to chat with him!
Inside Disney California Adventure Park, you’re going to love
Disney ¡Viva Navidad! Street Party – it’s a lively, vibrant, and oh-so-fun celebration through the streets. This party even features special guests, including The Three Caballeros, and even Mickey and Minnie Mouse!
The holiday season at the Disneyland Resort is a true feast for the eyes. You won’t want to miss the
“it’s a small world” Holiday Lighting, or the
enchanting winter transformation of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
For the perfect end to your perfect Disney day, find a spot to watch the
“Believe… In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular. The festive fireworks, combined with heartwarming music, and even a sprinkling of snow, truly brings the joy and wonder of the season to life.
I can’t wait for you to experience the magic of the holidays at the Disneyland Resort!
