Welcome back to planDisney, Andreas!
The holiday season will be here faster than you can say “Happy Holidays,” and I can’t think of a merrier place to spend it than the
Disneyland Resort. I’m so glad you stopped by. Let’s take a look at how to plan your December adventure.
I checked the “
Theme Park Reservation Availability” page on the Disneyland website, and currently, tickets and reservations are open through December 13th. Typically, theme park reservation dates are released 180 days in advance, so by around July 4th, the full month of December should be available. Since the holidays are a popular time to visit, I recommend booking your
tickets and reservations as soon as your preferred date opens as some dates can fill up faster than Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve!
Now let’s talk about the magic that makes December at Disneyland so unforgettable. At nightfall, Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle sparkles with icy lights and snow-capped charm, creating the perfect backdrop for holiday photos. Meanwhile, over in Fantasyland, the façade of “it’s a small world” Holiday bursts with color and cheer. Inside, the familiar tune takes on a festive twist as children from every corner of the globe celebrate the season in their own delightful ways.
Just across the way, Disney California Adventure brings its own seasonal sparkle. Festival of the Holidays fills the park with music, dance, and food inspired by holiday traditions from around the world. Buena Vista Street greets Guests with classic holiday décor that feels like stepping into a vintage postcard. And in Cars Land, the “haul-idays” take over with tire wreaths, snow car sculptures, and toe-tapping seasonal tunes on your favorite attractions. Don’t forget to stop by the Festive Foods Marketplace! It’s where your taste buds can take a holiday journey of their own, from sweet to savory and everything in between.
So, Andreas, it sounds like you’re already on the right track toward a very merry Disney day! Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for more updates as December approaches, and if you have any other questions, planDisney is always here to help.
Wishing you a joyful (and extra sparkly) holiday season!
