Considering how crowded it is supposed to be between Christmas and New Year's, I am a little bit surprised to see that Paradise Pier seems to be the only one just about sold out at the moment.
Just booked a 12/8-12/13 trip (park days 12/8-12/12) staying at GCH for our first ever visit out west! My mom and I are big WDW vets and can not wait to experience Christmas time here.
Welcome! We're Ohioans who make the trek each year to Disneyland Resort. It's so special to us and Christmastime there is the best! This December marks 19 years of Disney trips.
So glad to see Ohio represented on my favorite site! My son, daughter-in-law and grandson just relocated there from Northern California, and we’re flying them out for my grandson’s first trip! My husband is wondering why you come to DL instead of DW? He‘s trying to figure out our future Disney trips since we’re expecting another Ohio grandchild next year!
Here's the list! I'll update it as changes happen. (Expect serious slacking of duties in December....)

Thank you for sharing this! Love it!! Still desperately hoping to squeeze in a trip Dec 14/15 (and the 15th is my bday!) but some possible work travel is making it a challenge... Holding a room at the Courtyard in hopes it works out!Every year we decorate for Christmas while listening to the Disneyland Main Street USA Holiday Background Music Loop. So many great memories from the park and this brings it all back. Eating ice cream on the curb, waiting for the Christmas Fantasy Parade. Lunch at the Carnation Cafe. Shopping for gewgaws at the Emporium. All the holiday decorations and garland glittering in the sunlight.
We will arrive in four weeks! This music sets the mood for our vacation more than anything else.

I want to eat all. the. things! Is there a full on list of everything? I read the disney blog, but it seems there's more than what they put there, right? We went during halloween and our kids were a hot mess with all the food and treats. We're trying to figure out a more constructive way to limit the kids thinking they can have everything anytime (and throwing a fit when they don't get it), but allowing all of us to sample plenty holiday offerings. I thought if we had a list, everyone could look through and choose some things they really want to try/share and we can spread it out through the week.
Booked Dec 6-8. Haven't been to Disneyland in 4 years and during Holiday season in 7 years. Any tips on how to get onto the horse-drawn streetcar while the Dapper Dans are hanging on while singing?
What hotel? So I can add that to the list.
Oh, I love the time slot idea!! That was one of our other problems during the last trip! If felt like someone was ALWAYS stopping to eat because not everyone was hungry at the same time. The other issue is choosing where to eat with such varied tastes. Maybe I should consider more table service meals since restaurants usually offer more variety so we don't have to go to 3 different counter service places each time!That. Blog. Is. Epic.
I'd say you need to set a daily limit in advance, and let your kids have fun planning a list of what treats and meals they will have each day, maybe throw in some time slots for each to keep them paced. Keep the list handy so everyone can refer to it in the parks. Allow substitutions because that's inevitable, but let the list keep track of their daily allotment and let them use it as a decision making tool.
Adding: Have another option for shared treats. It's clearly up to you and your budget, and this is a good option for keeping the cost down. Plus sharing is easier on the tummies.
