Welcome, Anna Maria! It's an absolute pleasure to have received your question and I'm happy to get you some answers so you can prepare for your visit to Disneyland Resort during the merriest season of all!
As you may already know,
a valid ticket and park reservation are currently required to be able to enter the theme parks. If you're hoping to purchase your tickets and make your theme park reservation for December 22 of this year, that particular date just opened up for reservations today. That's because park reservations may be booked up to 120 days in advance, so if you happened to try any earlier than today, the system may not have permitted you to confirm your reservations. But, don't lose heart, because you should be able to proceed with purchasing your 1-Day Theme Park Ticket and confirming your park reservation for your intended date, beginning now! Another helpful strategy might be to secure the services of an authorized travel agency. They are often well-informed and extremely knowledgeable about any potential ticket offers or other special discounts, and they can certainly assist with your ticket and park reservation details.
Anna Maria, your visit to Disneyland Resort coincides with all the magic of the
winter holidays, with seasonal offerings debuting November 10, 2023, through January 7, 2024! I'm so excited for you to experience all of it, but some of my personal favorites include the seasonal overlays on classic attractions like "it's a small world" Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday. Plus, this one often gets overlooked, but I absolutely love watching the
Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle. It's a short lighting ceremony when Sleeping Beauty Castle transforms with thousands of shining, shimmering, splendid holiday lights. If you have a few minutes of your evening to dedicate to watching this sweet little show, I think you'll love it. It's pure and heartwarming - the perfect way to welcome the holiday season!
I hope this is a helpful start, Anna Maria, and more than anything, I hope your holiday visit to the Disneyland Resort is filled with beautiful memories with your loved ones. Please feel welcome to reach back out to
planDisney if we can help with anything else in the meantime.
Warm wishes,
