Seasoned DLer/First Christmas

[mershell]

I've wanted to visit DL on Xmas since I was a kid and my friend and I are finally doing it this year. I've spend tons of time at the park overall, but wonder if anyone might share some not-miss Xmas Eve/Xmas Day specifics? Is there anything offered on those days that isn't any other time? Thanks for your help all

The only thing I can think of that's specific to Christmas day is the meal at DLH, but that usually sells out the day the reservations open. Have you been during Christmas time before or this year? There's the new Festival of Holidays in DCA this year if you haven't done that yet.

Yes, I've been at Christmastime nearly every year, but never on Christmas Day. I thought maybe there might be special things happening just on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. I seem to recall something about a "kiss goodnight"? Do they still do that?

Sorry, but no, unless you think being shout out of returning to the park if you leave for a break a special treat.

Disney has no need nor desire to do anything special, if anything, they would prefer a few less guests to show up due to the problems a sold out park causes.

My suggestions, get there early, get a locker first thing to store things, and then plan to stay inside the park until closing. And bring a lot of patience, if you want to see a show, parade or the fireworks, get there early for a good view. For the fireworks, while the castle is the best view, the Rives of America will have entertainment and the soundtrack piped into the area, and snow will be offered.
