Christmas is Coming!!
As Christmas time
is just around the corner excitement builds at Disney Parks. Last month All the
Halloween decorations were up. Orange and brown colored the parks with a
festive fall feel. Toward the end of the month things like snow started topping
Sleeping Beauties Castle at Disneyland and some Christmas decorations started
to show up in New Orleans Square.
After the park
closed October 31st many of the Halloween decorations on Main Street
at Disneyland were removed, including the large Mickey shaped Jack-O-Lantern.
Christmas decorations went up overnight to make preparations for the filming of
the Christmas Parade to be shown on Christmas day. Now the parks are all red
and green!
Over the last few
weeks more and more decorations have gone up. Today is the official start of
the Holiday Season at the Parks. The Holiday Fireworks and other festive
special events will now begin in earnest! This will continue until the first
weekend in January!
This is my
favorite time of year at the Disneyland Resort and it is even more exciting now
than ever because Disney is finally going to decorate Disney California
Adventure for the Holidays! DCA has only gotten scant decorating before this!
Yes, DCA had a Christmas tree but from year to year it wondered around the park
and was never a central item. They did things like Santa’s Beach Party but it
was never a big hit as the rest of the park being undecorated left it feeling
out of place.
Having many
friends on Facebook that are into the parks as I am I’ve seen pictures of DCA’s
new decorations. Even Cars Land is getting into the Holiday feel! There is
garland above Rout 66! It is made of lights and air filters! A tire is the
center point of each garland string! Special Christmas music is playing in the
area!
Buena Vista Street
has its own Christmas Tree! It has Red Car Trolley ornaments and Walt’s
Carolwood Barn sits below it! Unlike years past there is a nightly tree
lighting ceremony as there is in Disneyland. The Buena Vista Street Business’s
went all out to decorate their shops and Elias & Company has Santa in their
store much like any 1920’s department store would.
I’ve not seen any
of this in person yet but from the pictures I’ve seen I’m going to want to
spend a lot of time in the parks this Holiday season!
