A Christmas Fantasy" Parade and the "Believe...In Holiday Magic" Fireworks

[disneymama83]

I know the Christmas season begins Nov 13-Jan 3. My question is does the "A Christmas Fantasy" Parade and the "Believe...In Holiday Magic" Fireworks show nightly starting at the begining of the season? I will be there from 11/16-21.

Thanks!

I read this on another board -- hope it's not true, because we will be there the 14th-17th and would miss fireworks.

...The final performance of the "Magical" fireworks show is scheduled for Sunday, September 20. There will be no fireworks presented September 21–24, and the first public performance of "Halloween Screams," the new Halloween-themed fireworks show at Disneyland, will be on Friday, September 25 at 9:25 p.m. The show runs through November 1 and the end of the HalloweenTime promotion, and then be replaced on November 20 by the Holiday show. Disneyland has not yet said if there will be any fireworks offered November 2nd through 19th.

Thank you for posting this article. I will be there the 20th to see the fireworks but I do hope they run starting the 13th so that you and your family can see them It jsut makes sense to start when the official Christmas seasons begins!

Typically, each year, the holiday fireworks have begun on the first weekend of November, while the parade has started the weekend before Thanksgiving. Here's hoping that this year they will start on the 6th.

According to the official DLR web-site, Believe and the Christmas Fantasy Parade start being shown on November 13, 2009 (Friday).

According to the official Disney Vacation Planning DVD (2009), the Christmas Fantasy Parade starts being shown on the weekend before Thanksgiving.

So, which official source are we supposed to believe?
