Christmas is the time of festivities, joy, celebration and the affirmation of the human spirit. It is thus not surprising that our Beloved Disneyland, based on human endeavors and its triumphs, past and future, takes on a special look at Christmas with the peppy seasonal decorations supplementing its usual great charm. With the offices closed and the kids being on leave from school, Christmas Break is an apposite time to plan a trip to Disneyland.
Disneyland becomes even more attractive at Christmas. Christmas decorations are ubiquitous but the piece de resistance in it is the splendid Toontown and New Orleans Square. In Town Square which lies at the far end of Main Street stands proudly a 60-foot Christmas tree bedecked with millions of shiny luminous lights and ornaments. It is no big surprise that the Town Square, the cynosure of Disneyland, has been given the privilege of hosting this symbol of Christmas – The Huge Tree. However, Town Square and this Christmas tree is not the only pieces to be bitten by the Christmas Bug – for Christmas pervade everything and its spirit omnipresent. Let us look at some others.
The Haunted Mansion too has exclusive Christmas decorations. Based on Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, the changes and spectacles are extensive, with modifications that make the haunted mansion Disneyland’s greatest, coolest and enjoyable Christmas spot. Be sure to ride it more than once to assimilate all that it has to offer!
Also specially decorated for Christmas and with a special Christmas music track is the Small World. It is small only in name, not in entertainment! Moreover, the Christmas Fantasy Parade runs from Small World along Main Street to Town Square. Such is the Christmas Break in Disneyland. No Christmas can be complete without snowfall. And no Christmas Break in Disneyland can be complete without tons of white snow drifting and snow flakes pervading the air.
To ensure this, the authorities have designed special techniques to further the Christmas-Atmosphere. What a wonder – It starts snowing at select zones in the park with the culmination of fireworks. One can consult a map to locate these spots.
What about Santa during Christmas at Disneyland? Well, The Big Thunder Ranch at Frontierland becomes a Novel Haven for letting Santa let his hair loose and frolic with the people whom he inspires. It is here that Mr. Santa unwinds and relaxes with Mrs. Claus and his team of reindeers. All in all, Disneyland sparkles even brighter in the festivities of Christmas with the peals of laughter of children as they see their dreams come true and imaginations are fired! After all, this is why we all would love to visit the happiest place on earth, especially in the happiest season on earth! Merry Christmas!
