The holiday season arrives at Disneyland Resort on November 10th this year and will offer seasonal celebrations, festive decor and much more for travelers to discover through January 7, 2024.
Travelers will find themselves immersed in festival-themed decor across the park. Places like the Downtown Disney District will feature large, decorated Christmas trees, while Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle will be covered in icicles and snow.
Disneyland Park will feature “A Christmas Fantasy Parade,” each day and the nighttime spectacular, “Believe…in Holiday Magic” each night, complete with snow. “Mickey’s Happy Holidays” parade will be held multiple times each day at Disney California Adventure, as will the “World of Color — Season of Light” nighttime spectacular, held over Paradise Bay.
Through December 24, Santa Claus will be available for photo opportunities for families at four select locations: Critter Country in Disneyland, Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in Disney California Adventure and at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disneyland Hotel.
California Adventure Park will host the Disney Festival of Holidays, drawing inspiration from the food and traditions of Christmas, Navidad, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Three Kings Day.
Disney ¡Viva Navidad! will return to Paradise Gardens Park and feature a street party featuring Mexican folklórico dancers, mariachi bands, Brazilian samba dancers, mojiganga puppets and, of course, special appearances Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Mirabel.
