Disneyland is closed

But probably not in the way you're thinking! For the past few days, Disneyland has either come near or actually reached its maximum capacity, which resulted in the gates being closed to any new guests. Rumor has it this occurred on Christmas Day!

For recent visitors to the park, this is becoming a common greeting. MousePlanet, 2006.

If you're planning on visiting Disneyland within the next few days, keep in mind that you might be stopped from entering. In order to ensure your admission, arrive at the park in the wee hours of the morning; around noon or so is when the crowds grow larger. Note: Although a specific number has yet to be released, the maximum capacity for Disneyland is said to be around 80,000+ people.

Merry Christmas to Disney fans everywhere!

Though it's technically not Christmas for me for another seven hours or so, I'll go ahead and wish the rest of you lot a very Merry Christmas. I hope you're able to spend time with those you love, as I plan on doing!

For those of you lucky enough to be in Disneyland for the holidays, have a great time! And for the rest of us, be sure to watch the annual Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade, airing on ABC-TV at 10 AM tomorrow, December 25. You may just see some clips of Disneyland!

Walking in a Winter Disneyland

I want to apologize for the lack of updates recently, which is partly because of the lack of news going on in the park, and partly because school is winding down and I am spending most of my time studying for tests. But enough about me - after all, you came here to read about Disneyland!

I love seeing nighttime holiday photos every year. Frank Anzalone, 2007.

It's almost Christmas, and you know what that means! As I've mentioned in previous posts, Christmas at Disneyland is truly spectacular, mainly because it's actually a reasonable temperature in California!

That being said, is anyone here fortunate enough to be visiting the park this holiday season? I'd love to hear your plans and/or stories!

Happy Birthday to Walt Disney!

The Walt Disney Company

As you may know, today, December 5, is the 106th birthday of the one and only Walter Elias Disney. Without him, there'd be no Disneyland, no Mickey Mouse, no Disney. So take a moment out of your day to wish the man who started it all a happy birthday. I know I will!
