Hello there, Deb!
How exciting – I love the idea of a spontaneous trip to the
Happiest Place on Earth. Hopefully, I can help you turn that wish into a reality. December is one of the busiest months of the year at the Disneyland Resort, especially the last week of the month leading up to New Year’s Day. I recommend checking the
reservation availability calendar once or twice a day until you can find availability on a day that works for your plans. Should you see availability on the calendar, make sure to immediately try to purchase a ticket and book the reservation through the Disneyland Resort website.
If you are still looking for a reservation in December but cannot find one, I recommend also considering the month of January. And if you are interested in visiting the Disneyland Resort specifically for the
holiday season, the celebration does continue through January 8, 2023.
Best of luck with booking your spontaneous trip!
Happy planning,
Lola
