All through December Disneyland celebrates the holiday season with special decorations. The weeks with Christmas and New Years are popular vacation weeks, so Disneyland opens earlier and closes later to handle the holiday crowds.
During the week between Christmas and New Years, both Disneyland California and Disney California Adventure parks will typically be open one hour early for Magic Morning and Extra Magic Hour if you had qualifying tickets. Based on prior years, it is possible for the crowd capacity to exceed the daily limit during these holiday weeks, so you can even be turned away unless you are holding a multi-day ticket or Premium Annual Passport. So it is important to arrive early, and I mean before 8 AM.
