**December 2025 Check-In Thread**

[BriannaRuth]

Thought I'd start the check-in thread for December! If you'd like, please post with your dates, hotel, and any other info you'd care to share. Have you been during the holidays before? If so, please share your favorite thing about DL during December, or anything else those of us who haven't been during this time (me!) might like to know!

In the meantime, here's some information for December. I'll try to keep this updated with relevant information, but please post if you find anything I don't have listed so I can add it. Click on the blue headings for links.

Holidays at Disneyland Resort - from Disney Parks Blog, includes information on the holiday overlays, Festival of the Holidays (food!), goings on at the hotels and DTD

They took WOC Season of Light off of the schedule. WOC Happiness will continue through the holiday season.

World of Color - Season of Light will be unavailable during the 2025 holiday season. Guests are invited to enjoy our Word of Color Happiness! show which will run through the Disneyland Resort 70th celebration.

Dec 7th-11th with my 2 nieces, 41 and 11...we went Dec of 23 it was very cool and so festive! I did the Costco passes, but now am debating adding another day (Sunday) so we can see Fantasmic. They have never seen it and it looks like it is only on the weekends in Dec until the 20th.

December 7-11th at GCH w/ my wife. We were originally going to do DLH to save money, but we rebooked under the current discount and it made it close enough that the GCH upgrade was worth it

We are currently Enchant Magic Key Holders living in Phoenix, so we don't go often. (We went in March and upgraded our tickets, additional trips in August & October planned)

We will be joining our extended family for a big trip December 2-5. 15 people! We love Disneyland for the holidays!

DLH dec 25-29, ugh hate the dates but will have 2 of my boys and their families plus mom, 4 generations.

I was definitely hoping they'd have it all week! We'll only be there on one night for F! so I'm hoping it's a go that day.

Since you've been before, any favorite things for the holidays or tips you can share? We usually go in summer or October, so I'm excited for December!

Is this just a regular discount? We'll probably stay offsite this year because I think we'll need two bedrooms but I'd love to go back to the GCH. Definitely my favorite of the Disney hotels. Also, as in UW Huskies? I'm an alum.

December 4-8 at Holiday Inn & Suites. At this time it is my mom, sister, daughter and myself. Waiting a little bit before confirming if my son and daughter in law will be joining us. This is a birthday trip for my daughter, who had to cancel a cruise around the same time because I couldn't go with her, but still wanted to do something. I can't take time off work at that time of year, but the boss is letting me have Friday. We'll fly in late on the 4th, I'll fly home the 7th, and the rest on the 8th. Picked up the Costco tickets for the four of us, but it looks like I'll need to find a different option if my son and daughter in law go too. Still trying to figure out all the flights, transfers from the airport- I think my daughter and I (and son and daughter in law, if they go) will be flying into LAX and my mom and sister into Burbank. The last few times we've gone, we've had a friend of a friend pick us up. Burbank is not ideal, however the timing of the direct flight out of the airport closest to my mom was better than the one into LAX. And I need to find a wheelchair rental for my mom (not a scooter). She'll be 81 and is concerned with her stamina. This should be a great trip. My daughter is trying to channel her first trip which was a gift from my sister when she was 10, for the whole family.

All assuming she is speaking to ,e after my September trip without her.
