Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #5

[ncarrier]

So park hours are listed up through the 13th. Holiday Time starts on the 10th I believe. But no mention of Paint the Night that weekend. Does anyone think there's still a chance? I did see the fireworks listed are Fantasy in the Sky, and it should be switched over to Believe in Holiday Magic by then I believe.

I know I'm just supposed to show up and be happy with what I stumble across. But dang it, I like to at least do a little planning!

Where did you see this info? On the DL website? I can see park hours but it doesn't show any details on any entertainment? Lol, any new info or details for our trip in Nov would be fantastic, the waiting is torture!

It was on the DL website. I clicked on "Disneyland" for the date in question, then on "entertainment".

Thank you!

When I clicked on the Disneyland link like you suggested, it just gives me today's schedule. Changing the date to November dates just gives me schedule unavailable.

Interesting how the Canadian website gives a different view. I don't think November's entertainment schedule is fully populated yet. Eagerly awaiting to plan for my trip

Thats the same place I stated with. When clicking on "Disneyland Park" on any of the dates on that calendar, on the page it links you to, on the right it shows the the schedule for Sunday October 2nd.

I bet I missed that, which would explain why it still listed Fantasy in the Sky.

When does the entertainment get updated?

We will be checking in Dec 23 and checking on the 26th. Can anyone give me an idea about crowds on those day? We have been to WDW for Christmas many times and I know the crowds there but unsure how DL works. Thanks

"Holiday Time at the Disneyland Resort Tour

I did this in 2014 and loved it. We got a treat at the beginning of the tour, front of line access to Haunted Mansion Holiday, It's A Small World Holiday and Jingle Cruise as well as reserved seating for the parade. When we sat down for the parade, we also got hot chocolate in a souvenir mug, a gingerbread Mickey and a pin. From memory it started at 12:30.

1986. I was 4 and only remember falling asleep on a bench on Main Street while waiting for the parade to start!
I do have this picture though...that's my dad in front of the tree. If you look closely, you can see part of me and my sister. Yellow sweater girl walked in front of us right as my mom snapped this photo.
Not too bitter as I'll finally get my retake this year!!

(Sorry the picture is a thumbnail! How do I get just the picture in my post?)

We did this last year and loved it! DH is always a fan of the HMH and the tour gave us the perfect chance to learn more about the ride. We also loved watching the parade where we got to enjoy some hot chocolate and gingerbread at a sectioned-off area!!

We are going back again this year for Christmas and I am already debating if we should do the tour again!!

 

[StayClassy]

So I'm officially trying for a birthday trip from the 11-14 or the 11-15. I booked Best Western directly across the street from Disney several months ago and have been on and off deciding whether or not to go since April... after a horribly stressful time at my job, a funeral, and now a huge cross state move I'm deciding I NEED this vacation.

So I've never done the holidays at Disney and I want to know what not to miss. ive done all the holiday overlay rides last January but all of Christmas was starting to come down and a lot of things weren't there anymore by the time I got there.

So basically I just need things to plan around and just some things to look forward to in the next two and a half months... favorite Xmas treats? Favorite decor? Things you love to do? Things you do every year? Things not to miss? Etc...

-I'll also be rereading this entire thread haha.

Sounds like fun !

Do you remember how much this was ? Going only for a few days in Dec and this sounds fun and handy since our time is short.

I think we paid $85 and you can get a discount if you are a AP holder. We also received a commemorative pin as a souvenir from the tour.

 

[cinder-ellah]

I just talked to a CM and they stated "start checking daily as to actual details as to what will be included". He didn't have any actual details yet.
Reservations can be made 30 days in advance.
AP discounts / 15%

Some details, like some WOC and Viva Navidad times, are starting to appear...but still largely unavailable for early November

I'm still waiting for their definition of "select holiday nights" for Paint the Night.

I'd like to know that too...it would be nice if it showed on weekends throughout the season, but I fear that may be too optimistic.
