    I am trying to plan my vacation to Disneyland and wanted to know how long will the Ca Resident special be going on I am looking to come in Dec of this year Thank you

    Welcome to planDisney, Deborah! Planning a vacation to Disneyland is always an exciting step, and I’m so glad you stopped by with this question as you begin mapping out your visit. Let’s take a closer look at the California Resident ticket offer and what it means for a December trip.

    The California Resident Park Hopper Ticket Offer has definitely been generating a lot of buzz, and for good reason. This special offer is valid for visits through May 21, 2026. Unfortunately, if you’re hoping to visit in December of this year, this particular ticket offer won’t extend that far. While that may be a bit of a bummer, I promise there’s still plenty of magic to look forward to as you plan ahead.

    One of the best tips I can share is to keep an eye on the Offers and Discounts page on the Disneyland website. This is where Disneyland posts the most up-to-date ticket offers as they become available. New promotions can pop up throughout the year, sometimes tied to seasons, special celebrations, or even age-based offers (like the recently announced Kids’ Ticket Offer available through September 7, 2026). Checking that page periodically is a great way to stay in the know as your December plans come together.

    If December ends up being the perfect time for your visit, you’ll be arriving during one of the most festive seasons of the year at Disneyland Park. Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle sparkles with shimmering lights, and Main Street, U.S.A. feels especially cozy with garlands, wreaths, and those magical moments when “snow” drifts through the air. Seasonal entertainment like A Christmas Fantasy Parade and “Believe… In Holiday Magic” fireworks add to the celebratory atmosphere and often become treasured highlights for many families.

    Over at Disney California Adventure Park, the holidays bring their own unique flair. Festival of Holidays fills the area with music, dance, and delicious seasonal bites, making it a favorite for Guests who love to snack their way through the season. Festive entertainment, cheerful cavalcades, and live performances inspired by holiday traditions from around the world make every corner feel lively and welcoming.

    Deborah, while the California Resident offer won’t apply to a December visit, the holiday season at Disneyland more than makes up for it with warmth, joy, and unforgettable memories. If you have more questions as you continue planning, please visit us again at planDisney. We’re always delighted to help you plan a visit filled with magical moments.

    Wishing you a wonderful day and a truly magical holiday season!
