One of the greatest times of the year to enjoy Disneyland is at Christmas. The park transforms into a Christmas wonderland with so many amazing decorations, from the 60 foot Christmas tree on Main Street USA to the snow covered Sleeping Beauty Castle glowing with blue lights and icicles…

The holiday overlay includes some changes to a few rides that are a must see; The Haunted Mansion is taken over by characters from Tim Burton’s the Nightmare before Christmas and becomes “The Haunted Mansion Holiday.” The Jungle Cruise transforms into “The Jingle Cruise” and It’s a Small World becomes “It’s a Small World Holiday,” featuring holiday music and a spectacular light show. You will also enjoy special Christmas parades and various shows and entertainment to make your Christmas truly magical.
