Anything Extra Special for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

[Drewski77]

Considering a last minute but expensive trip to be at Disneyland on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

We have experienced the usual Holiday things which are great, but never been at Disneyland on Christmas Day.

Is there anything that Disney does that is only on Christmas Eve or Day?

Historically, during the busiest times there would be some additional atmosphere entertainment and merchandise booths outside. For Christmas Eve, this could mean something like the characters coming out to the train station in their pajamas to wave at guests when they're leaving which was a rare sight but not truly Christmas Eve exclusive. That space is now being used for characters in their Christmas outfits every night during the Christmas season, so it's likely there won't be much that is unique to Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Tapings of the Christmas TV specials usually happen in November so there usually aren't any celebrity performances, special parades or castle lightings on Christmas Eve.

Historically, New Years Eve is the special night where you get a special fireworks show and sometimes, additional celebrities come to host the countdown.

Thanks for this, and I would imagine the crowds would be heavy on these days but hopefully lots of excitement with everyone.
