Read more below for details at the individual parks:
At Disneyland Park
When you enter Disneyland, you will be greeted by a 60-foot-tall Christmas tree on Main Street, U.S.A., decorated with 1,800 ornaments.. At the entrance to Fantasyland, Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle will definitely be a must if you’re into selfies with an iconic part of Disneyland! The “A Christmas Fantasy” Parade will go on a few times a day, and we can’t wait to see it!
End your day with a magical “snowfall” along with projections on Main Street U.S.A., and the façade of “it’s a small world” during the “Believe in Holiday Magic” fireworks spectacular. The “kiss goodnight” moment will feature several characters, dressed in their pajamas and waving goodbye from the balcony of the Disneyland Railroad Train Station in Town Square.
And don’t forget the seasonal overlays at both “it’s a small world” Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday.
