Hi there, Melissa!
Nice to meet you! I'm from Utah as well and my big Christmas wish is that we would get some snow. But my next wish would be to spend Christmas with my family at the Disneyland Resort!
It does look like
Theme Park Reservation Availability for Christmas Day is currently limited to Disney California Adventure Park. While it's always possible that guests could change their plans and Disneyland Park reservations could open up, I wouldn't count on it. Instead, if you want to spend part of Christmas Day in Disneyland Park I would recommend purchasing
Park Hopper Tickets so you can start your day at Disney California Adventure Park and then hop over into Disneyland Park later. That way you'll be able to make plans without worrying about watching and wishing for a reservation to open up. But I'd purchase your tickets and make reservations soon, because I wouldn't be surprised to see the reservations for Disney California Adventure Park fill up, too.
If your plans are a little bit flexible, it looks like there are currently park reservations available for Disneyland Park on December 26th instead! All of the fun offerings for
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort will still be available that day, so you can pretend that it's an extended Christmas celebration.
Melissa, one of my very favorite quotes about Christmas comes from
The Muppets Christmas Carol and it says "Wherever you find love, it feels like Christmas!" Whether you and your loved ones are inside Disneyland Park or not, I hope you feel the love and magic of the holidays and that the new year brings you wonderful adventures.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
