Fireworks truly ignite when you combine the magical celebration of Christmas with the magic of Disneyland. The park is full of holiday cheer; the sleeping beauty castle alone boasts of over 50,000 lights! Rather than just don princess costumes, little girls can come in red Christmas princess dresses, and boys can wear Santa hats. Bundle the kids for some truly special Christmas fun!
The Christmas décor at Disneyland is astounding. The Christmas tree on Main St. is over 60ft tall and is capturing. I remember looking at it as a little girl in amazement-the ornaments seemed bigger than me! Lights, ornaments, and greenery are in abundance throughout the park, and little ones will delight in the particular attention that is given to Toontown. If possible, include some evening time there as well, so you can see all the decorations all lit-up. The sleeping beauty castle, along with other areas in the park, is beautiful when lit. Bring your girls in their princess costumes or their Christmas princess dresses to photograph some magical princess moments.
A few rides are decorated as well. It's a Small World is outfitted in lavish Christmas décor, and is a special treat to see at Christmastime. Do not miss the Haunted Mansion either; it has been decorated in a Christmas Tim Burton style. The Christmas decorations bring a whole new atmosphere to these and other favorite rides.
The Big Thunder Ranch houses Santa and his reindeers during the Christmas season. You can stop by to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus as they vacation in Disneyland. Make sure to bring your camera when you stop by to say hi! If you're lucky, you may even catch the reindeers walking around in their yards. They need their vacation time too! In Toontown, find Goofy. He dresses up like a silly Santa!
The best part of Disneyland at Christmas is the parcel. The Christmas parade starts at the It's a Small World ride and runs to the Town Square. The Town Square is the most decorated place to watch the parade, and is also the most popular. If you want to watch the parcel from there, plan on getting there at least two hours early. The parade is full of jolly Christmas fun and dancing, and Santa himself joins in the fun! After the parade is the traditional Disneyland fireworks, follow by a special Christmas event-snowfall! There will be snow falling at various parade locations throughout the park, which are marked on the park map. You will not want to miss it!
Do not be afraid to bring your own traditions to Disneyland. While the park offers many fun things to do, make it your own Christmas experience. Bring hot cocoa in thermoses to sip on while you're there, and bring candy canes for every to eat. You could let the family decorate their own Santa hat before going to the park to bring with them to wear throughout the day. Your girls may want to wear Christmas princess dresses or other Disney princess attire. Try bringing bells for the toddlers to play with while they wait in lines. It will be a new toy for them as well as an opportunity to spread holiday cheer.
Make sure you record these unique Christmas memories! Enjoy the Christmas Disneyland experience and have a very merry, magical Christmas!
