food IS a theme park
When will Disneyland offer its cheapest ticket prices? What season will feature the MOST new stuff? And IS there a time of year when the crowds aren’t nearly as bad?

Gingerbready or not, here the holidays come!
Christmas at Disneyland!

It’s official — Fantasmic! will be returning to Disneyland in 2024!
Fantasmic! at Disneyland Resort
You can catch this show currently in Disney World, but after an unexpected fire destroyed the Maleficent dragon animatronic in Disneyland, the show has been indefinitely closed while they revamp the design. Now that it’s been announced the show is returning, remember that these two things will be very different when the show returns.
We are so excited for the official opening of the reimagined Pixar Place Hotel over in Disneyland — January isn’t that far away!

This hotel used to be Paradise Pier, but will now be fully themed to Pixar when it reopens. That includes the Great Maple Restaurant, which opened its doors on November 15th! Check out the first look at the reimagined inside with us.

Eats from the Festival of Holidays
We learned just how the House of Mouse is doing in the Q4 earnings call, celebrated Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, and ate our way around the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure. Speaking of DCA, we have an important update for folks heading to this park today.
The holidays have finally arrived in Disneyland Resort and we can’t wait to celebrate all season long.

Disney’s entertainment and shows are some guests’ favorite parts of a park day.
Disney California Adventure
Disneyland has lots of different entertainment offered, one of the most popular being their World of Color — ONE show that debuted in January 2023. However, if you’re visiting the park in the new year, you need to know that this show will be closing for refurbishment.
It’s the most wonderful time of year at Disney California Adventure Park because the Disney Festival of Holidays has returned! The 2023 Festival dates are November 10th, 2023, through January 7th, 2024.
