Holiday Season at Disneyland

For me, it's not Christmas time if I haven't been to experience the holiday magic at Disneyland. Just as you'd imagine it, the whole park is decked out for the holiday season. Garland and decorations are everywhere! Even the holiday themed treats and goodies have emerged. If you've never been to Disneyland for the holiday season (or at all) here are some of the things you definitely should not miss out on.

Take a walk down Main Street. Main Street USA, the first land you enter when you enter Disneyland. Enjoy all the holiday decorations, and take a picture with the 60 foot tall Christmas Tree. Main Street has some of the best shops and restaurants in all of the park, like the candy store and ice cream shop. Maybe grab a gingerbread cookie to snack on!

Enjoy the A Christmas Fantasy Parade. It's one thing to see it on TV on Christmas Day, but to see it person really brings what you see on TV to life. This parade is a yearly tradition and has been around since 1994. What's better than seeing Mickey and the gang, the Princesses and Santa spreading holiday cheer? Plus the little snowmen are just too cute for words. For a less crowded place to sit, sit over by the Matterhorn and Alice in Wonderland.

Jingle Cruise. Yes even the Jungle Cruise has some holiday cheer. The Christmas cargo fell right in the Jungle Cruise and somehow ended up decorating the jungle perfectly for the holidays. If you're sick of the regular puns, try mixing it up and enjoy some holiday themed puns!

Meet Santa! Why meet Santa at your local mall when you can meet him at Disneyland!? You can meet Santa in both Disneyland and California Adventure. In Disneyland, you'll find him in Critter Country at Poo's thotful spot. In California Adventure, you'll find Santa on Buena Vista Street at Elias & Co.

It's A Small World Holiday. Come listen to Jingle Bells performed in several languages and celebrate peace on Earth. Inside truly is a winter wonderland, which is nice since you know, Southern California doesn't really have a winter. During the day, the outside of this classic ride has a santa hat added to the face. But at night, the ride has been decorated with over 300,000 lights. And if you come at the right time you can see the holiday clock show.

Haunted Mansion Holiday. If you're a huge Nightmare Before Christmas fan then this should be your number one spot. Jack Skellington and the rest of the gang have taken over the Haunted Mansion and have added some tricks and treats for the holiday season.

Meet Jack and Sally. After you ride the Haunted Mansion Holiday why not meet our favorite sweetly scary couple Jack and Sally? They're not out year round and you can only find them out and about around this time!

You'll also find some holiday cheer in California Adventure as well! Holiday decorations are all along Buena Vista Street, where you can meet Mickey and the gang. Also if you're still in a Frozen fever, you can: meet Anna and Elsa, watch the Frozen Sing-Along, play in Olaf's Snowfest, and even meet Olaf himself. Or if you're in a racing mood, head on down to Carsland and see Radiator Springs decked out for the holidays. Even Mater is festive with his Santa Hat. California Adventure is also being festive with ¡Viva Navidad, a celebration of Latino holiday culture.

At Disneyland, Christmas time doesn't end until January 6, so there's still plenty of time to celebrate some Disney Christmas cheer. I definitely want to go one last time before Christmas! Until tomorrow.
