It's really real! Just bought our tickets, going 11/9-11/13, so we'll miss the beginning of the official Holiday season, but what better reason to go back? Staying at Disneyland Hotel Villas, through Davids DVC rental, so fingers crossed everything goes well.

We'll be there during what I am thinking of as the "diet holiday" week between Halloween and holidays ... kind of like Diet Epcot between festivals at WDW lol. Bummed that we will miss Wondrous Journeys and Paint the Night, but hey, at least we'll have WoC or Fant or both depending on the night!

Speaking of which, I know we've got quite some time to go, but when are the hours and entertainment schedule typically finalized for DL?

Wondrous Journeys should be Nov 1-13. Paint the Night should run through Nov 13. Of course things can change, but that is what it sounds like is happening right now.

What entertainment can be expected that first weekend of holiday? We always go in January right after holidays are done so we never get the holiday entertainment. Can’t wait to experience it this year!

Of course, it could change but right now it looks like the holiday entertainment (starting Nov 14) will include:

• Christmas Fantasy Parade
• Believe...In Holiday Magic fireworks
• Fantasmic
• Fire of the Rising Moon
• Shadows of Memory
• Tapestry of Happiness
• World of Color Happiness!
• Viva Navidad
• Mirabel's Gifts of the Season

Many of the shows will be on weekends only or on select nights. Disney Parks Blog has more information: https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/holidays-at-disneyland-resort-2025/

It has been over ten years since I've been there for the holiday time. A few years back we were there as they transitioned but didn't get to see all the decorations. We will be there for the season opening Nov 13-17 and staying at the Grand! I am super excited.

That is absolutely something to be excited about!!
