food IS a theme park
There are SO many reasons why you might want to plan a holiday trip to the Disney parks.
Christmas in Disneyland!
Between the food, rides, entertainment, and more — it’s hard to beat it. But, there are a few reasons, in particular, you might want to think about heading to Disneyland soon… and it all has to do with POPCORN BUCKETS!
We might be in the middle of spooky season, but the holiday season is coming up right behind it.
Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays
Now, we’ve already learned about some holiday things happening in Disney World, like what’s been confirmed for this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, the Cookie Stroll, and more. But Disneyland will be getting into the holiday spirit, too, with a brand new popcorn bucket that we’re already obsessed with.
Yes, it’s spooky season, but we’re already looking forward to the holiday season.

We’ve already seen a sneak peek at holiday merchandise (and we’re not mad about it). We also recently got some updates about the holidays in Disney Parks. Well, now, we’ve got ANOTHER holiday update to share with you — and this one has to do with some character outfits.
The Holiday Season will officially kick off at Disneyland Resort on November 9, 2018!
