Two BIG Things Are Happening on November 15th, and It's Going To Be a HUGE Day for Disney Fans

It may only be September, and we haven’t even hit Halloween yet, but that doesn’t mean we’re not already excited for the holiday season!

Disneyland during the holidays

We can’t wait for the cooler temperatures to arrive in a few weeks (if we’re lucky), and we’re already looking forward to the Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. But we can’t forget that Disneyland Resort also has a beautiful holiday celebration, and it’s officially been confirmed that one of our favorite offerings is returning this holiday season!

Holidays at the Disneyland Resort will take place from November 15th through January 6th, 2025! We are PUMPED. This also means Disney confirmed that Disney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays is returning to the resort! The event begins on November 15th, so if it’s not already written down, mark your calendars. We also know that the Festive Food Marketplaces are returning, along with the Sip and Savor Pass in 4-coupon and 8-coupon versions.

2023 Festival of Holidays

There will also be performances by new cultural performance groups throughout the festival, and you’ll also get to see the “Mickey’s Happy Holidays” cavalcade. And we can’t forget about the Festival of Holidays merchandise! This collection will be available at Merchandise Marketplace and Elias & Co. in DCA — check out a sneak peek below! We spy a Spirit Jersey…

In the past, we’ve loved experiencing all the incredible eats and drinks at Festival of Holidays, so if you’re planning a visit during this time, we highly recommend spending extra time in DCA to experience all the festival has to offer.

You also won’t want to miss the Disney ¡Viva Navidad! festivities over at Paradise Gardens where you can experience daily crafts, live music, menu items and décor inspired by Latin American traditions, meet Mickey, Minnie, The Three Caballeros, and Mirabel, PLUS get to see the Disney ¡Viva Navidad! street party!

If that’s not exciting enough, this is your reminder that over in Disneyland, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will officially be opening on November 15th! You’ll be able to check out the attraction, as well as the newly rethemed merchandise locations, Ray’s Berets and Louis’ Critter Club, in Critter Country. That’s two MAJOR events on the same day!
