Christmas at Disneyland

December means holiday time at Disneyland, or as some would say, Christmas at Disneyland. The decorations go up in mid November and stay past New Years. Many schools close for 2 weeks during the weeks of Christmas and New Years. This is a special time of year to visit Disneyland with your family.

This year Christmas day is Saturday December 25 2021 and New Years Eve is Friday December 31 2021.

Disneyland Hours December 2021

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.
