#NEWS I was just given some info on the plans for Christmas time at Disneyland this year. Looks like the rumors are going to become a reality. Disneyland will have a Christmas Party much like Mickey's Halloween Party during Christmas time More...
This truly breaks my heart. Growing up I myself didn't get to experience many xmas because our family grew up poor.As an adult with kids going to the park at xmas time and watching the parade and fireworks had become a family tradition.we love experience it over and over again. The magic look on my kids faces was priceless and true I could buy a ticket it would be expensive on a family of 4 or to anyone and no guarantee parades or fireworks would perform as they can be cancelled at anytime or for any reason. I understand Disney is a business but xmas time is one of the busiest time of the year ,but how is it going to be to parks guest to leave early during a busy season as well. to me this is really sad news to hear and do not think voicing our concerns to Disney may help. any thoughts on this ? - pikarich616.3 #177 5-24-13 12:14AMLike(26) Reply
I normally take Disney's side when they seem to be getting beat up, but this time I'll pass. I don't like this either. I'll be seriously dissapointed if too much of the Christmas spirit is taken away on "normal" nights. - Tom3901.6 #7 5-24-13 3:06AMLike(13) Reply
I'm sorry everyone is frustrated and sad. But I avoid the parks during the hholidays because of the crowds. I end up bumped constantly and smashed and that takes the joy out of it for me. I am looking foward to enjoying the holidays at the parks without being crushed even if I have to pay a bit more. - thehatboxghost1063.2 #21362 5-25-13 1:19PMLike Reply
