Seasons are changing at Disneyland, as both parks quickly switch over from Halloween Time to the Holidays, which officially begin this Friday, November 13. Big seasonal changes are underway at Disneyland, as traditional holiday decorations are modified to accommodate the on-going 60th Anniversary Celebration. Meanwhile, Tomorrowland is getting the biggest changes with the new Star Wars: Season of the Force attractions and experiences quickly coming together. Elsewhere in the parks, Anna and Elsa have enchanted a new window display on Main Street, “it’s a small world” is in full holiday mode, and New Orleans Square is seeing some unfortunate changes yet again.

We have a jam-packed update for you this week, so let’s get right to it!

Welcome to Disneyland!

Halloween Time has quickly disappeared from Disneyland as the holidays rapidly move in throughout both theme parks.

Holiday Happenings

Main Street, U.S.A.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Disneyland is just about fully decorated for the holidays! The Christmas tree is the only major missing feature still on its way, with everything else already up or in the process of going up throughout the park. Wreaths have been added to the 60th anniversary plaques on lampposts along Main Street, U.S.A.

The holiday decorations on Main Street may seem a bit sparse this year but keep in mind that Disneyland’s Christmas tree isn’t in place yet. Also worth noting — the garland across Main Street unfortunately won’t be appearing this year due to the height of the Paint the Night parade floats.

Garland along Main Street buildings has received blue bows, blue ornaments and translucent diamond accents for the ongoing Diamond Celebration.

The wonderful little flower market on Main Street has winter flowers and plants on display.

In the hub, new landscaping has gone in and it really looks great.

The new saplings have lights!

While Sleeping Beauty Castle isn’t getting its annual snow overlay this year, the trees in the hub are still getting their “snow” lights, which are illuminated during the snow moments throughout the evening and at the end of fireworks. The trees and shrubs around the Castle, however, did not get their snow lights.

Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle overlay wasn’t installed this year, Disneyland is instead keeping the 60th anniversary overlay up throughout the holiday season. The Castle isn’t skipping Christmas altogether, though; some garland and a wreath has been added for the season.

It’s not much, but it’s a nice enough seasonal addition to the Diamond Celebration overlay

Adventureland

Adventureland doesn’t get much for the holidays beyond its Jingle Cruise ride overlay, which is currently being installed.

Big Thunder Ranch at the back of Frontierland was still decorated for Halloween Time over the weekend. Perhaps the final time we’ll ever see this area’s Halloween decorations. Big Thunder Ranch will permanently close in January to make way for the upcoming Star Wars expansion.

Fantasyland

In Fantasyland, the holidays are in full swing at “it’s a small world,” where the attraction’s popular seasonal overlay is already open and delighting guests.
holidays, Seasons change at Disneyland as Star Wars and Christmas move in

This is one of my personal favorites of Disneyland’s great holiday season. A perfect seasonal experience.

Buena Vista Street

Over at Disney California Adventure, Buena Vista Street is getting ready for the holidays. The street is now lined with garland and the Christmas tree is up, but the Santa Claus meet-and-greet and holiday window displays aren’t yet installed.

Buena Vista Street during the holidays is some of the best Christmas the resort has to offer.

Frozen enchants Main Street

On Main Street, the latest Enchanted Window has been unveiled. The new window, themed to “Frozen,” is on the south-facing facade of the Emporium. The new window is another nice addition but is unfortunately a bit underwhelming compared to the earlier enchanted windows, especially those like the Peter Pan or Princess and the Frog displays.

Preparing for Launch (Bay)

In Tomorrowland, Disneyland is quickly finalizing its new offerings for the upcoming Star Wars Season of the Force promotion. So far, the facade changes and signage seem fairly low-rent for Disneyland but hopefully the new Launch Bay, Hyperspace Mountain, and other experiences reflect a much higher quality inside.

This new “Season of the Force” marquee showed up Sunday, on the Matterhorn-side of the Tomorrowland Terrace.

New lighting fixtures have been installed (but are currently covered up) along the defunct Peoplemover track for Season of the Force.

Nearby, the Hyperspace Mountain signage has been stuck over the existing Space Mountain sign.

It wasn’t designed to fit into the existing Space Mountain marquee, so it’s just stuck on top. Nice.

Refurbishment Round-up

A look at refurbishment projects underway in both parks…

Construction Kingdom

The path between Fantasy Faire and Frontierland is still behind walls…

In Tomorrowland, the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage marquee has been swapped out for a temporary cut-out while the main sign gets some work.

New Orleans Square changes

In New Orleans Square, a new bridge between the French Market and the New Orleans Square railroad station has been installed. The OC Register recently reported that the temporary bridge was built to support electrical and pipes while the New Orleans Square facilities get upgrades to their infrastructure.
holidays, Seasons change at Disneyland as Star Wars and Christmas move in

Thankfully the bridge is temporary and only expected to last a few months, as it is not only ugly but also contributes to the congestion of an area that constantly suffers from crowd flow issues.

At least they tried to make it match with the area’s color scheme and added some bunting to help it blend in with New Orleans Square.
