Holidays at the Disneyland Resort Are Here! - "Almost" Wordless Wednesday

Okay, so the title might be a bit misleading.  The holidays have actually been back at the Disneyland Resort for over two weeks now... it's just that we haven't seen them before this weekend!  The holidays are our favorite time of the year at Disneyland, so you can expect to see, and read, and hear, much more about it in the coming weeks here and in our podcast.  But in the meantime, we spent a few hours roaming this past weekend, and put Mark in charge of the camera, and these were some of our favorite shots from both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.  We hope that you enjoy them, and give Mark an extra special shout-out for being willing to take the responsibility; Chad had him snapping the shutter button like crazy.  Enjoy!

The more we see it the more we love this entrance. And we loved seeing it decorated so wonderfully for the holidays!

The little gazebo (meet and greet) in Paradise Pier looks EXTRA festive this time of year

The Disney California Adventure tree in Paradise Pier

The Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta area were decorated beautifully!

It's Santa Flik!

Walked in JUST as the special holiday lighting was taking place - WONDERFUL!

The holiday decorations all over New Orleans Square are some of our favorite out of the entire Resort

Sleeping Beauty Castle just prior to "Believe in Holiday Magic" fireworks. We LOVE our castle this time of year.

I love all the nightime holiday shots! A beautiful way to enjoy the decorations!

P.T. something about nights makes the Park more special. It's like a whole other experience :)

Days In The Park said...

I would love it if they could keep up the decorations, but it doesn't hurt to ask :)
