Believe it or not, the holidays are just around the corner, and moms everywhere will be in full holiday shopping mode. Instead of running around and shopping for gifts, you book a Disneyland vacation and let your kids unwrap that surprise Christmas morning…or you can spend Christmas AT Disneyland! We guarantee your kids will be over the moon with this magical gift, and it will give your entire family new, magical memories for the 2024 holiday season. Here are our top reasons why this is just the best idea ever!
- The holiday season is arguably one of the best times to visit Disneyland Resort. Between the hotels and the parks, decorations are strung from every rooftop, tree, store, etc. It’s an entirely magical atmosphere that really fills everyone with the joy of the holiday season! At the Grand Californian, you can even catch Christmas Carolers and sing along while sitting by the lobby’s tall, gorgeous Christmas tree or in a comfy, cozy chair next to the fire. The lobby is also home to the massive gingerbread house inspired by pastries and candies on display yearly!
- Disneyland is much easier to get around than Walt Disney World, so it’s less stressful for the parents to lug the entire family around to try and get to everything. Getting around to both theme parks from all of the Disneyland Hotels is easy and convenient, and park hopping is a breeze!
- Disneyland and Disney California Adventure have many more holiday-themed attractions (“it’s a small world” Holiday, Haunted Mansion Holiday, Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl, and Mater’s Jingle Jamboree).
- If you still want a delicious holiday meal experience, you can still have that right at Disneyland Resort! Usually, sit-down dining spots at the resorts (and occasionally a few in the parks) have special holiday buffets and menus. Some of our favorite spots include Goofy’s Kitchen and Storyteller’s Cafe.
- The entertainment is just magically hands down top-notch! The Christmas Fantasy Parade is filled with nostalgia, and Santa Claus himself even makes an appearance along with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and all the other reindeer! The “Believe…In Holiday Magic fireworks show bring forth all the emotions of the holiday season, and World of Color-Season of Light is a holiday spectacular that’s not to be missed.
- The kids can meet all their favorite characters in their holiday finest! Parents, give yourself the gift of seeing the joy on your kid’s faces when they get to give Mickey, Minnie, and all their friends a giant hug!
- Disney California is home to different cultural celebrations! Disney ¡Viva Navidad! festivities include daily crafts, live music, menu items, and décor inspired by Latin American traditions, with a dash of Disney flair. The Disney ¡Viva Navidad! street party will perform on select days, featuring The Three Caballeros accompanied by Mexican folklórico dancers and mariachis, Brazilian samba dancers and percussionists, and more!
As you can see, there are so many reasons that a Disneyland Resort vacation is the perfect gift to put under the tree for your little (or older!) ones. If you’re interested in booking a vacation for after the holiday season is over, be sure to take advantage of the kids’ ticket deal for visits from January 7 to March 20 in 2025 (click here for more info). It’s a magical time of year to make those core family memories that will last a lifetime!
