Disneyland Holiday: Share Your Disneyland Halloween and Christmas Stories and Photos!

[Micoofy Duck]

This Halloween and Christmas holiday seasons I've planned on going to WDW to experience the parks with other family members who have yet to experience WDW during these festive times.

But next year I plan on visiting Disneyland during the holidays. I still can't decide whether to go during Halloween or Christmas but until I make my final decision I was hoping all the MiceChatters could/would/maybe share your Holiday stories and photos with others thinking about taking a holiday trip to the park/resort.

I'd be nice to see a year in advance what Disneyland looks like during the holidays and read the stories shared here involving Disneyland during October & December!

Thanks! Have fun with this thread!

I went around christmas and enjoyed it very much. The decorations were amazing and It's A Small World impressed me when it lit up, I was in awe, having never seen it around christmas or any holiday, for that matter. My best friend and I met Santa and saw his reindeer and made cookies.

My pictures aren't the best, but here's a few.

Considering it's usually 30 degrees in my area around Christmas, and it was close to 80 there, it didn't feel like Christmas, but something alot better!!!



Here's It's A Small World during the day...so pretty


My attempt at decorating a cookie:

Personaly Id say go during Christmas theres just a little bit more magic in the air plus the DL Christmas tree is something that has to be seen in person since its an actully a real tree and not a fake one like the rest of the parks But the real tear jerker is watching the fireworks on Main Street with ur family and it starts "snowing" and theres a little feeling inside that says everything is right something that can only come from DL

Plus IASWH and HMH are going plus all the other little things that make it all the more magical like homemade candycanes from Main Street.

Or drying off in front of the fire at GCH. Favorite part of all is watching Christmas Fantasy go down the parade route at night and all ur hopes are looking foward to the fireworks and "snow" that will soon follow.

Disneyland at Christmas is something that really has to been seen in person theres a lot to do and take in.

So heres some pics that I took last year

ugh!

I can't believe you used the word CHRISTMAS! That is SOOOO OFFENSIVE to us non-Christians. Can't any of us go to MiceChat without being bombarded with christianity!? For once I'd like to just go into a thread and not have it be about religon or that damn shed!

"ugh!"

I understand where you are coming from. BUT and yes there's a but, just as you have every right to not embrace the December holiday known as "Christmas"... I, and many other MiceChatters, have EVERY RIGHT to enjoy this HOLIDAY fotos and stories thread because some DO celebrate this particular holiday that does fall in the month of December. And Please remember I did use the word HOLIDAY in the post thread title.

I am aware of those who are "non-Christians". Please don't worry about this thread. Let things be and enjoy the next thread.

Flashback - Thursday, December 21, 2000 - approximately 6:15pm.

I was meeting my friend Christin to do some last minute Christmas shopping and we were going to meet at the Christmas Tree on Main Street.

In the distance I could see her. Now, all of you know HOW CROWDED it is at Disneyland at Christmastime...but I saw her walking toward me and all I could see was her. Everyone else was a blur. It was the strangest feeling at it was then that I knew that she was the one for me. At that moment I began coming up with ideas of how I was going to propose to her. The following August I proposed and I presented her with her engagement ring on September 1, 2001 right in that very place where I first knew I was going to marry her.

Every December 21, we go and try to take a picture by the tree - we call it our Disneyland Christmas Tree Anniversary. Good news there.....as this December we will be bringing what will be our 2 month old son along for the photo.

So, there ya go!
