1. Meet Santa Claus at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort 

Guests of all ages can enjoy merry moments with Santa Claus, as he makes stops at each Disneyland Resort hotel for photos.   

Make sure to catch this greeting opportunity in the main lobby of Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel, or in the Great Hall at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa before Santa returns to the North Pole after December 24.

2. Have a Holiday Treat and Listen to the Melodies of Holiday Carolers  

At Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, grab a seasonally inspired snack or beverage from the Grand Californian Great Hall Cart and, at select times, listen as holiday and handbell carolers fill the air with joyful melodies while a gingerbread replica of the hotel graces the hotel lobby. 

Similarly, at Disneyland Hotel, you can grab a hot chocolate, hot tea or hot coffee for approximately $5 from The Coffee House and enjoy holiday carolers at select times.

3. Hunt for Ornaments at Chip and Dale’s Ornament Trail in the Downtown Disney District  

New this year, the whole family can spend time together searching for ornaments that are hidden among the holiday trees and shining lights adorning the Downtown Disney District during Chip and Dale’s Ornament Trail.  

For $9.99 plus tax, you can pick up your own map and stickers at select merchandise locations in the district and the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort before starting your Disney character-themed ornament search.
