Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort - The Spookiest Time of the Year!

If you ask any guest who frequently visits the Disneyland Resort what is the best time to visit Disneyland, they will probably give you two answers:

Halloween Time and during the Christmas Holiday.

They are absolutely correct!

Disney decorates for the holidays like no other! The magic seems to multiply 10 fold during September through December at Disney Parks. Our family has made a tradition of visiting during these extra festive times. In an attempt to capture some of the the SPOOKtacular sights of Halloween at Disneyland Resort, we shot this 5 minute video! We hope you enjoy this glimpse of some BOO-tiful things to see during Halloween Time!

Disney December to Remember: Jingle

Jingle

Do you hear what I hear? Sometimes you are at the right place at the right time. This photo is proof of that. Just as the band that plays in New Orleans square in Disneyland came down the stairs, we were able to snap this magical shot. This guy is all ready to rock the night away, and play his jingle jam for all of the guests visiting the park for the holidays.

There's not much more festive than a little sparkle. You can find sparkle almost anywhere during the holiday season.

Why we take our family to Disneyland Resort for Disney Holidays

Everyone in our family has a different reason they love this season and what they look forward to most at Disneyland Resort during the holidays. We really love the way it makes us feel to share special holiday moments at the parks year after year. We continue to bring our families each Christmas holiday and cherish the memories we make.

Tracey
loves kicking off each holiday season with a trip to Disneyland. “It totally gets me into a holiday frame of mind! The park is so fun and festive for the season, it’s always just what I need to get me geared up for the holidays. It’s not about the rides at all—except of course It's a Small World Holiday and The Haunted Mansion Holiday which are done up with holiday flair—it’s about the decorations, the music, the parade and all the other things that stir up a sentimental feeling. I feel like a kid again! A family trip to the park at Christmas is the most enjoyable visit of the whole year."

Becky
loves that each member of her family gets to celebrate the holidays with their favorites. "We each take turns picking what to do next, we have so much fun trying to choose what new things we will add to our same favorite traditions from year to year. We are all given those extra special Magic feelings that only Disney knows how to give. Being surrounded by the beauty of the parks really gets us in the holiday spirit. No cooking, no cleaning, just our family focused on each other and the blessings we have been given."

Jessica
really appreciates that how no matter how much it changes, the feeling is still the same. "From the moment I step foot into Disneyland, I know that I am about to have a memorable time with my family. Every visit is unique and yet, they each have the same magical quality, trip after trip, year after year. If you ask my favorite thing about Disneyland during the Holidays it has to be the feeling I get inside my heart. It's a joy that is indescribable. I know it sounds so corny, but I get emotional just thinking about it. It truly is the Happiest Place on Earth, and at Christmas time it's the Merriest Place on Earth."

What are your favorite family moments and memories at any Disney Park during the holidays? We'd love for you to share.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!

Disney December to Remember: White Christmas

White Christmas

"I'm dreaming of a White Christmas" just like the ones I used to know..."

Snow is rare in Southern California, but at the "Merriest Place on Earth" it falls every night. How do they do it? It's all part of the magic of Disneyland. We're dreaming of a White Christmas, what are you dreaming of?

Disney December to Remember: Wreath

Wreath

One of our favorite holiday decorations are wreaths. There are so many different varieties of wreaths, you can make your own wreath with your own theme. Maybe a Mickey Mouse one, or add brightly colored ornaments to yours. We think we've found the ultimate wreath, right there in New Orleans Square at Disneyland.

Now its your turn, show us your wreath photos.

Disney December to Remember: Deck the Halls

Deck the Halls

Have you been decking the halls with boughs of holly? It's hard not to feel the festivities when taking a jolly stroll down Main Street, USA. The decorations at Disneyland Resort are nothing less than magical and will put you and your loved ones in the spirit of the season. Fa-La-La-La-La... La-La-La-La!

Disney December to Remember: Reindeer

Reindeer

Reindeer are not the typical four legged friends us Southern California Girls get to see very often, but during Christmas time we get nostalgic and want to relive the magic that comes from seeing Santa and his trusty reindeer. Luckily for us, we know a magical spot to visit them. Jingle Jangle Jamboree in frontierland (behind Thunder Mountain) at Disneyland keeps Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and the whole crew (Minus Rudolph) there all December long. You may even run into Pluto with his reindeer ears on visiting them.

Disney December to Remember: Let It Snow

Let It Snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful... Oh who are we kidding, we live in Southern California! Though we never get snow here, you couldn't tell when you walk down the streets of Hollywood Studios at Disney's California Adventure Park. These snowflakes captured here are larger than life, but then again the magic of the season doesn't surprise us.

Disney December to Remember: Elf

Elf

There's something about small little men with pointy ears that says the holidays are here! And we can't think of two more cuter elves than these guys. Lanny and Wayne, better known as two of Santa's Elite Task Force: Prep and Landing. While they aren't getting homes all across the country ready for Santa, they can be seen at Disney California Adventure in the 4D Showing of Prep and Landing: Naughty vs. Nice.

Wonderland

The wonder of the season can always be seen through a child's eyes. But this time of year, we can feel the magic in the air even as adults. The sights and sounds all around us are creating a holiday masterpiece just for you. Can you feel the magic? It's a Small World Holiday makes for a real life Wonderland, don't you think?

Disney December to Remember: Shopping

Shopping

This photo is very special to us, because it represents a very wonderful trip we took to Walt Disney World for Disney Social Media Moms Celebration earlier this year. We found the Ye Old Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom and fell in love with it. What about you, have you finished your holiday shopping yet? Or maybe you haven't even started, oh my! Do you have a magical place you like to shop for gifts?

Tis the Season for Holiday Magic at Disney

An important part of being a mom, is keeping the magic of the holiday season alive in our children's hearts for as long as possible. These days kids grow up too quickly and it's hard to watch them believe more in reality and less in childlike fantasy as they journey into young adulthood. (Take it from each of us, our older children are in the teenage years and things have sure changed.)

Disneyland is a place that always brings back enchantment, especially during the holidays. From the minute you approach the gates your eyes are met with a wintery wonderland. It is one of our favorite ways to get in the spirit of the season and to celebrate our inner child with our children. Disney Sisters Photo Tip 1: Make sure to get a photo of your family in front of the huge tree on Main Street. Do yourself a favor and have the photo pass cast member take the photo of your whole family, (with your camera) that way everyone is included in the picture!

Every year we Fa-La-La our way down Main Street, oohing and ahhing over the festive decor and dressed windows. If you listen closely, you can even hear Christmas music playing in different areas throughout the park.

New Orleans Square is adorned with beads hanging from the gates, and you feel as though you have just stepped into Mardi Gras, masks, skeletons and all. It's where one of our favorite "remixed" attraction lives, Haunted Mansion Holiday, which is a must-see ride every year. Disney Sisters Photo Tip 2: One of the best places for a picturesque holiday card is right in the middle where Royal Street and New Orleans Street meet. Below Club 33.)

Whether it be or dancing reindeer, roller skating snowflakes or Jolly old Saint Nick himself there is an endless amount of Christmas Fantasy in the Holiday Parade. You can see all of your favorite Disney Princesses, Mickey and Minnie ice skating together, the whole Toy Story gang, even Santa and Mrs. Claus!

Once it becomes dusk, they light up it's a Small World, transforming it into It's A Small World Holiday. The thousands of lights twinkle and the clock is adorned with a Santa Hat. It's the most gorgeous display of colorful lights that we look forward to seeing each year.

The Sleeping Beauty's Castle lights up at night turning it into the most sparkling, twinkly castle in all the land. During the day you can see it covered in snow and icicles. Disney Sisters Photo Tip 3: The Castle is a wonderful backdrop for the classic family portrait at Disneyland during the holidays. Add in some extra character after you've gotten the regular smiling shot, by doing a "jump"photo. Count to 3 and have your entire family JUMP! You won't believe how different and hilarious it will turn out and kids love doing it.

The music and fireworks show always delight, but it's the snow that quietly falls on Main Street at the end that really one of everyone's favorite part about Holiday time at Disneyland. Especially for us Southern Californians, snow is a unique and wonderful thing!

We have made going to Disneyland during the holidays a family tradition for more than 5 years. It's a special event that we all look forward to all year long. We are building memories full of magic that we hope our children will remember forever. What are the traditions that you carry on with your family during the holidays?

Did you know that Disney California Adventure gets all decked out for the holidays too? And they even have SANTA!!! We'll soon be sharing our trip to DCA, Buena Vista Street, Cars Land and all that's newly decorated at the "other half" of the Disneyland Resort.

Disclosure: We were invited to a Holiday Blogger Event at the Disneyland Resort which got us into the spirit of the season. We were also given a gift bag. This post was inspired by things seen and heard throughout our magical day. The thoughts shared here are Disney Sisters' only.
