The holiday season is approaching fast, and the Disneyland Resort is preparing to usher in the most wonderful time of the year with the return of several favorite holiday experiences starting on November 10.

Dubbed the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, visitors will be treated to events such as the Festival of Holidays, World of Color - Season of Light and the Believe in Holiday Magic fireworks spectacular.

At the Disney California Adventure Park, guests will be treated to the popular World of Color - Season of Light nighttime spectacular and the Festival of Holidays celebrations, but there will be so much more this year.

Santa Claus will be appearing at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail; Cars Land and Bug's Land will undergo festive makeovers; and a 50-foot Christmas tree will be positioned at Carthay Circle.

As for the Disneyland theme park itself, Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle returns with night-time snowfall moments that culminate in the Believe in Holiday Magic fireworks spectacular.

At the Town Square on Main Street, U.S.A., a 60-foot tree with nearly 1,800 ornaments will be the backdrop of the holiday fun.

The shopping, dining and entertainment district known as Downtown Disney, as well as the various hotels on the property, will be adorned with twinkling lights and ornaments, holiday displays, special entertainment and holiday dining with themed menus.

The events run through January 7, 2018.
