A Christmas Fantasy Parade at Disneyland (Video) #DisneyHolidays

We recently visited the Disneyland Resort to see all that #DisneyHolidays has to offer. Wow - it's a regular Winter Wonderland! The holiday favorite "A Christmas Fantasy Parade" has returned to Disneyland and it's just as magical as we remember it. After running around the park for a few glorious hours, we got some popcorn and Starbucks Coffee then snagged a front row seat to watch a night time viewing of A Christmas Fantasy Parade. It lasts about 40 minutes and stars all of your favorite Disney characters. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Disney Princesses all dressed up in festive apparel for this not-to-miss seasonal tradition. And who can forget about the prancing reindeer, skating silver snowflakes, marching toy soldiers, dancing gingerbread cookies and so much more merriment. Make sure you stay until the end because the most popular man of the year, Santa Claus arrives to wish your family a very Merry Christmas! (Coming soon to the blog - we interview the big guy himself!)

Some of the other must see holiday offerings are It's a Small World Holiday. You also don't want to miss the Jingle Cruise which debuted for the first time this year. 

Happy Holidays!

Disclosure: We were invited to a Media Preview at the Disneyland Resort to experience all things #DisneyHolidays.

Disneyland's Summer Line-Up

It's going to be a Soundsational Summer at the Disneyland Resort taking place from June 3-Sept 5! (IT STARTS TODAY PEOPLE!) So mark it down in your Calendars, I know we have some plans to visit the Parks in the next few months. The Resort is extra fun during the summertime. Our Disney Annual Passes (So Cal) get blacked out soon. But if we want to buy a discounted blockout day ticket, they are $50 per person. Of'course there is always the possibility of upgrading our passes.... Hmmmm!

 

Disneyland has officially kicked off their new main street show, Mickey's Soundsational Parade including a new drumline, new colorful floats, and some of my favorite characters including Rapunzel, Mary Poppins, Princess Tiana, and Ariel.

And speaking of Ariel, we have all been waiting for the Little Mermaid ride to be finished and the time is finally here. Introducing the coolest thing to happen to California Adventure, since the WORLD OF COLOR. Ariel's Undersea Adventure opens June 3, and I can't wait to get on.

When they shut down Mulholland Madness, my daughter was really bummed, because it one one of her favorite rides in California Adventure. But I knew something bigger and better was coming our way. This summer Goofy will be teaching all of us how to fly. I'm really looking forward to seeing how my daughter feels about this new ride! Looks pretty Goofy, if you ask me. 

Star Tours is back for the next generation with a new adventure. Can't wait to see what it's like to travel to another galaxy and back all in the matter of a few minutes. I know my husband is looking forward to this Star Wars inspired ride.

If you still have yet to see the show World of Color... You are missing out! We've seen it a number of times & it still is breathtaking! Plus now they've added new stuff for Pirates of the Caribbean with the mermaids and scenes from Tangled! Yay!

And who could forget about the nighttime party - ElecTRONica, which is still going on at California Adventure. It's not summertime until you have a glowing drink at the parks! Cheers!
