The holidays have been making their way to Disneyland with snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle and tons of festive merchandise, but now it’s officially time for the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure!

UPDATED December 19, 2024
Okay, enough about Disney World, let’s travel over to the West Coast and talk about Disneyland a little bit.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Now, a LOT is going on over at Disneyland, and a lot more will be going on soon. A Coco ride is on the way, as is a whole land devoted to Avatar along with a major expansion to Avengers Campus. Things are going to be BUSY. So if you’re planning a trip to Disneyland in 2025 (like we are), you’ll want to know exactly what will be closed throughout the year, right? Well, we’ve got your back.
When it comes to planning a Disney trip, we know it’s important to figure out how to get the most for your money. If you’re like us, you’re searching through every deal, discount, and perk that comes with buying theme park tickets.
Target
Well, with the holidays coming up, a lot of NEW deals are coming out that could help you save some $$$. One new such deal, though, is from Target — and who even KNEW you could buy Disney tickets at Target? Well, you can, and if you do buy your Disney tickets at Target right now, you’ll get a nice perk for your purchase.
Did you know Disney hosts TWO Festival of the Holidays events every year?
Disney Festival of the Holidays
Of course, there’s a very famous International Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT at Disney World, where you can try festive treats from around the world and enjoy the many holiday stories. But there is another holiday festival at Disneyland Resort, as well! Disney Festival of Holidays takes place at Disney California Adventure each year and features some delectable traditional, California-inspired goodies, and it starts SOON! When we stopped by the park the other day, we happened to notice that the park is gearing up for the celebration with several booths and MENUS up so you can start planning your eating.
I don’t know about you, but one of our favorite things to do at Disney is to collect popcorn buckets!

You’ve seen them. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are practical and others are less so. With the year wrapping up, we thought we’d run down a list of the best of the best Disney popcorn buckets in 2024!
The holiday season arrived in Disneyland last month with the snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle, but that’s just the beginning.

We already know that the Disneyland Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure begins soon on November 15th — and yes, we already have the festival menus! We are also ready for all the Disneyland holiday snacks! However, some NEW things are coming to Disneyland for the holidays this year, too, and if you love Encanto and Coco, you’re going to want to head to the parks ASAP.
UPDATE: As of November 12th, Disney has paused sales for Magic Key Passes.
Magic Keys are BACK on sale… but ACT FAST!

Over the past several years, Disney has only sold new Magic Keys sporadically, with the offerings often selling out quickly. Magic Keys are Disneyland Resort’s current equivalent of an annual pass program, which provides “reservation-based admission to one or both Disneyland Resort theme parks.” Now, just as Disney is introducing the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass at the “Happiest Place on Earth,” they’ve also put Magic Keys BACK on sale!
