Magical Holiday Memories
Page 1 of 45
Introduction
Over the last few years Disneyland has taken to calling itself "The Merriest Place on
Earth". But for many fans, Disney has been synonymous with the holidays for many
years. From shorts like Mickey's Orphans to Disneyland's Candlelight Processional
to Walt's 1958 Family Circle feature A Christmas Adventure in Disneyland,
Disney has always had a way of making the holidays even more special.
This year LaughingPlace.com is celebrating the holidays with a month-long feature called Magical Holiday Memories. Every weekday from now until January 1st we'll update this feature with new stories and pictures that will take a look at some wonderful holiday memories Disney has helped create - some grand and some very personal.
