Disneyland gets ready for the holidays

The happiest place on earth just gets Merrier. Disney Holidays are coming and this year they are expected to be better than ever. 

​This year Disneyland is planning to have really cool things for the Holidays. The new holiday style “World of Color—Season of Light”, and the “Festival of Holidays”, will show everyone how the holidays are celebrated in different cultures.
With those additions, plus the debut of Princess Elena of Avalor, all is merry and bright for Holidays at the Disneyland Resort from November 10, 2016 to January 8, 2017.

Disney California Adventure Park

• “World of Color – Season of Light” celebrates the warm and heartfelt spirit of the holidays, with water fountains telling the story. “World of Color – Season of Light” takes guests through a sparkling winter fantasy, combining classic holiday songs with memorable moments from treasured Disney animated films to create an experience filled with magic.

You will enjoy delicious internationally inspired food and beverages at 14 themed festival marketplaces, and participate in diverse cultural holiday celebrations, including the popular Disney ¡Viva Navidad!
