Christmas Special Events Thread

Maybe the CM misunderstood. I have reservations for the parade package, as do others here on the board.

Are you talking about this one?
"Christmas Fantasy Parade Plaza Inn Dining Package reservations open September 25 - https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/plaza-inn-dining-package/"

Yes, thats the one. Today was the day December 4th should have opened but the day showed up as closed instead. Here is October for example where you can see available, non available and closed. December is only showing closed.

It's so bizarre to me that Halloween Scream and Oogie Boogie are both still listed as events happening on the November calendar, even November 16th

Hey all! Curious if anyone is having trouble booking Trader Sam’s in December?
I remember someone said randomly they won’t be taking reservations but haven’t seen anything confirmed other than the one mention.
Our reservation day popped up this morning and it was either gone in literal seconds or they don’t have any going? We were on @5:50 am refreshing until after 6:00.
Happy holidays! Love the new Xmas merch!

Agree! Its driving me crazy! Trying to plan out our days 11/13-17 and the website is all screwed up! I cant even trust the section about refurbishments on each day, it just doesnt seem accurate. Very inconsistent with closures. Hope they fix it soon

Me!! I was on there three mornings in a row, at exactly 6am. Never showed up and there is no way I missed it completely.

I’ve heard that Trader Sam’s opens early. I have heard anywhere from 3am PT to 5:30am PT. I haven’t looked for it early in a while though. I never found it for my week, Thanksgiving. I only looked a little before 6am, but never saw any availability. It’s really small and goes fast.

Thank you! I can’t imagine getting up at three for it but thank you! We will do walk up maybe for outside.

I was checking from 2am PT (I’m not in that time zone haha) to 6am PT and nothing came up. I know there were plans filed for a small refurb, mainly updating the effects etc, so I’m wondering if it is going to be closed then?

Have I missed the new holiday merch announcement, I can’t see it on the parks blog?

Thanks

Edited to add - I went on the Disney store website and found the parks specific stuff, it’s all lovely this year! I wasn’t a big fan of the Mickey being a mailman last year.

Yeah, I never saw a single reservation for Trader Sam's in 4 days. Not any, at any time of day. I've never seen that before in all the years I've booked reservations for Trader Sam's. I was up early (4) and it didn't matter--nothing ever showed.

 

[Mister Skellington]

I tried again today and nothing.

I saw a YouTube channel that had the new holiday merch.

Exactly! I’ve missed out on getting them in the past, but I’ve never not seen them posted. So frustrating! It’s of course the one reservation my daughter wanted.

The first big wave of holiday merch was in the parks on Monday.

Saw a lot on Disney Store but nothing that really caught my eye...at least the Halloween stuff is almost gone!
