We will miss out too I’m a huge peppermint fiend and this is our first time at DLR for the holidays. I guess we will have to go again later sometime.

Plus if this is your first to Disneyland at the holidays, you will be HOOKED! ;-)

Post in thread 'Candy canes'

Dec 8, 2024

Reviving this thread to ask if anyone knows the current process to purchase a candy cane. For example, do they have a virtual queue where you get in line, scan a code, then come back later? Or does everyone stand around in line to get a special ticket/voucher to redeem later for a candy cane?

They did wristbands last week; in DL, the rope drop folks were lined up in Gibson Girl to keep them off fhe sidewalks. While this doesn’t happen every time, the wristbands were available until approx 1100, I skipped the initial lineup, went back to watch them make a batch around 0945 or...

ThemeparkIQ did a great job compiling all of the Festival of Holidays performances for November. I love that they have a picture of each stage as the background.

1) I swear these extra shows were all season. Like They had one band at these locations the entire season over switching bands...that or else I saw two years in a row the same "bands" or Dance" groups and got lucky

2) Also are Deadpool showtimes out? Not seeing them on the list above

1. I think they are, but the performance schedule is only out for November.
2. I added Deadpool in the post above. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've only done it for the 70th and now the holidays. For me, it is easier to see everything in chronological order.
