It’s the most wonderful time of year, indeed! As we’ve been talking about all week here at Laughing Place, the holiday season has already begun at Disneyland Resort in a big way, with so many festive activities to experience around both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure theme parks, plus the Downtown Disney District shopping area.
During a fantastically fun media event this week, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with a number of Disneyland Resort Cast Members, who each enlightened me about the colorful celebrations happening around the Happiest Place On Earth. I spoke with a chef about the holiday food offerings, learned about Christmastime merchandise and the World of Disney flagship store reimagining, saw incredible dancers and The Three Caballeros perform at ¡Viva Navidad! for Festival of Holidays, and even met with Santa Claus himself for a chat about Disney PhotoPass. Enjoy the videos below!
