The holiday season means many things in Disney.
Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays
We’ve been trying lots of holiday treats in the parks, as well as exploring the Festival of Holidays in Disneyland. There is lots to explore this season, but one iconic treat returned that everyone couldn’t wait for — Disneyland candy canes! And if you wanted one today, you were going to need LOADS of patience.
The line to get the candy canes from Candy Kitchen was wrapped all in and around Jolly Holiday when we arrived and got in line!
At the start of the line
We waited, and waited …

Once we finally arrived at Candy Palace, the wait wasn’t over! We were then told to scan a QR code that would take us to a virtual queue.
QR Code
Sure enough, we got a text message confirming our place in the virtual queue quickly and were able to wander around until we got our return time text.
The text message
We were surprised at how quickly we made it through the virtual queue, because we got the return text in no time (giving us 30 minutes to return to Candy Palace), and then…
Success!
…we got our candy cane! Each candy cane is $19.99, and they’re limited to one per guest per day.
They truly are iconic
Candy canes are available while supplies last, so if you want to be sure to get one, we suggest getting in line as soon as possible during your trip.
The wait is over! We snagged our very own special candy cane at Disneyland's Candy Palace 👏
We had to wait in line to enter a virtual queue, but once checked in the wait went quickly for this seasonal treat! pic.twitter.com/ADZUF50Ul5

What time did you get into line? Going on Tuesday just for this and trying to determine how early to get to the gates. Thanks!
OMG! Thank you for sharing this! Just wondering, when did they open the mobile queue? Would it help to get in line with early entry at 7:30am?
