Christmas at California Disneyland: Ultimate Guide!

This is the final part of our guide! 📍 'It's a Small World' While waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion, we discovered that Genie+ reservations were available, so we booked 'It's a Small World' for 11:30 PM. We realized that because our daytime Genie+ reservations were spaced over three hours apart, we could book an additional ride. We ended up riding Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters again and then headed to 'It's a Small World.' The castle has a charming light show on the hour and half-hour, which we caught just in time. Inside, the Christmas decorations and music added to the festive atmosphere, wrapping up a fulfilling day. 📍 Disneyland Railroad The red ground-level train can be boarded at any station visible on the map. If you're tired, it's a great way to rest. It operates from 8 AM to midnight. After finishing 'It's a Small World,' we tried to board at 11:59 PM but missed the last train. Many people were waiting in vain, and by 12:10 AM, we decided to walk out. The last train we saw was around 11:45 PM, so plan accordingly! Some key takeaways: Genie+ is a must-buy! We booked seven attractions, saving five hours on three major rides You can book a ride two hours after the previous one, and if there's a long gap (3+ hours), you can book another closer time slot. We debated visiting Star Wars but skipped it. It was $28 instead of the $25 we saw online, likely due to the holiday. Given the line, it's worth the purchase! Photopass photographers are scarce in the main park compared to Adventureland, where most marked spots have photographers. Use downtime to take photos and interact with characters, especially before parades, Christmas tree lighting, and after fireworks. Despite experiencing 17 attractions, we found ourselves with free time due to Genie+ reservations. 😂 ~ Wishing everyone a joyful time at Disneyland! 🎀 #CaliforniaDisneyland #DisneylandGuide #Disneyland
