Seasons greetings! Christmas is returning to Disneyland this Friday, November 8th and will conclude on January 6th, 2020. The Christmas magic takes center stage at Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. With the castle refurbishment earlier this year it will be our first look at the holiday transformation of the iconic castle. Returning entertainment includes the “Believe in Holiday Magic” fireworks show along with the daily “A Christmas Fantasy” parade. Additionally, “It’s a Small World” will undergo its yearly holiday season layover and Haunted Mansion continues with its Nightmare Before Christmas layover from the Halloween season. The special eats, treats, parade, and fireworks will truly make this a magical season at Disneyland.
