Holiday season is headed our way and it's one of favorite times of year to be at the Disneyland Resort! During this holiday season, several favorite attractions across the resort will transform with seasonal overlays. Music, storytelling, and thoughtful details come together to give these rides a festive perspective, sprinkled in with a perfect dash of holiday fun. Here's some of things we're looking forward to the most.
Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland Park
In time for the start of Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, Haunted Mansion Holiday transforms the classic attraction into a seasonal ride overlay inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
As guests make their way past the Stretching Room, into their black sleigh, and through the eerie estate, they will notice Jack Skellington and the residents of Halloween Town have taken over the space, showcasing what happens when two holidays collide.
With festive scenes, updated decor, holiday-infused music, and plenty of silly spooks that may sit by guests side, the attraction has a distinctly different tone during the fall and winter seasons.
“it’s a small world” Holiday at Disneyland Park
“it’s a small world” Holiday remains a seasonal must-do, drawing guests back year after year for its whimsical charm, bright lights, and signature finale.
Guests can travel along the Seven Seaways canal and discover familiar scenes with festive overlays. Each region in the attraction celebrates the holidays in distinct ways, from the Mele Kalikimaka cheer in the South Pacific to the Feliz Navidad fun in Mexico, alongside several New Year traditions reflected throughout Europe and Asia.
The attraction’s well-known music also takes on a seasonal twist, blending It’s a Small World (After All) with holiday classics like Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls into a continuous musical arrangement that guests will be humming all night long.
Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park
At Disney California Adventure, the residents of Radiator Springs have swapped their usual day-to-day routines for the fast-paced fun of the holiday season, featuring holiday music, plenty of festive personality, and two attractions with seasonal overlays.
Mater’s Jingle Jamboree
Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree puts on its holiday best during Mater’s Jingle Jamboree, where the lovable tow truck takes the lead with a collection of seasonal tunes featuring his signature humor and original lyrics.
Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl
Just down the road on Route 66, Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters joins the Radiator Springs holiday fun with Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl, where Luigi and his extended family are celebrating the season in style with festive dances to tunes sung by Luigi himself.
Holiday Decor and More Across Disneyland Resort
Beyond these attraction overlays, charming holiday details can also be found in more subtle areas throughout each land. Guests may spot a skipper-inspired tree in Adventureland near the exit to the Jungle Cruise, tiny pieces of garland while on board Storybook Land Canal Boats, or wreaths on the backside of some of the Main Street Vehicles.
