2016 Holidays at the Disneyland® Resort Dates and Events Revealed!

​​By David Platt, your Mouse Master specialist

'Holidays at the Disneyland® Resort' returns November 10, 2016 and runs through January 8, 2017. Old favorites like the Jingle Cruise, "Believe … in Holiday Magic" Fireworks, and A Christmas Fantasy parade return, but most intriguing are two new offerings:

An all-new World of Color: World of Color- Season of Light, celebrating the festive holiday season, makes its Disney California Adventure® Park debut. The new nighttime spectacular combines holiday songs with scenes from Disney classics for a not-to-be-missed show.

Festival of Holidays: A celebration of diverse cultural holiday traditions, including the popular Disney ¡Viva Navidad!, comes to Disney California Adventure Park. Also new, holiday-themed festival marketplaces-- a sort of 'Holiday Food & Wine Festival' -- will be offered for the first time. For Disney Jr. fans, Princess Elena of Avalor will make her Disneyland® Resort debut during the Festival of Holidays!

If you've never visited the parks during the holidays, it really is something special and spectacular. And, if you time your visit properly, you can still avoid the holiday crowds. 

My family just happens to already have a trip planned from November 11-16, so this Mouse Master will not only be celebrating his birthday at the Disneyland® Resort, but also exploring these new holiday offerings and reporting back here in detail.
