Disneyland announces its holiday schedule

September 6, 2017, 4:34 PM · Sure, most Halloween events haven't started yet, but theme park fans love to plan ahead, so the Disneyland Resort has announced its Christmas holiday programming schedule.

"Holidays at the Disneyland Resort" will start Friday, November 10 this year and run through Sunday, January 7, 2018. The line-up is pretty much the same as last year, with holiday-themed attraction overlays and shows, and the food festival at Disney California Adventure. Here's the full list:

I personally was pretty disappointed with Winter Dreams when I saw it in 2015, much preferring the original World of Color which I absolutely love. I'm pretty "bah humbug" about all the Christmas overlays that Disney does anyway.

I believe Winter Dreams debut was during (or near the tail end) of the Frozen craze, so there was a heavy Frozen influence there.

Season of Light feels like the Disney heard the criticism from that show & revamped it into something better.

Someone suggested a Christmas train make-over, that would fun as long as Disney does not try to copy all of the "Polar Express" make-overs. Of course if they do that it would be done with a proper steam train and not some old diesel train.
