The holiday season has officially arrived in Disneyland. Actually, it arrived BEFORE Halloween because Sleeping Beauty Castle got its snow before spooky season ended (it happens every year, but we STILL think it’s a little TOO early).

Want to see what a sold-out park looks like on the first day of filming? Let’s take a look!
