Hello there, Judy!
I'm so glad that you found us here at planDisney! Before we begin, let me tell you a little about what we do. We are enthusiastic and knowledgeable guests who show an interest in assisting others plan their perfect Disney vacation. We are not travel agents so we are unable to book hotels, tickets or experiences for you. However, we are more than happy to help you plan your special Thanksgiving trip and to give you our recommendations based on our experiences within the Disneyland Resort!
How exciting that you are planning a trip towards the end of this year! Have you considered booking a
Vacation Package which would include your hotel stay and Park tickets? I love staying on property at an official Disneyland Resort Hotel because it seems like you never have to leave the Magic! I am a huge fan of the history of Disneyland so my favorite is the
Disneyland Hotel. There are also a number of
Good Neighbor Hotels in the area, many within walking distance to the Parks.
A valid ticket and reservation are required for entry into the Parks.
Reservations open up 120 days in advance, so be sure to mark the date in your calendar depending on when you plan to visit. Next,
dining reservations may be made 60 days in advance of your trip. Don't get discouraged if you don't see availability at a restaurant you would like to reserve. Oftentimes, reservations will open up if you keep checking. My all-time favorite meal is breakfast at
Goofy's Kitchen! The food is fantastic and I love seeing the characters come by as you enjoy your meal!
I love visiting the Disneyland Resort at that time of year. Exact dates have not yet been announced, but we know that they will be decorating for the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort and that the
Festival of Holidays will return to Disney California Adventure. The Cast Members do a phenomenal job decorating for the Holidays and it's a picture-worthy view everywhere you look!
Judy, I hope you find this information helpful. As your trip gets closer, feel free to write back to us here at planDisney or you can
write back to me directly if you would like further help planning your trip! I'd love to give you more specific recommendations once I know what type of trip you'd like!
To Adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere!
