Tips & Advice
- Book your Disneyland Park reservation for the same day as your ticket, since reservations are limited and you need both to get in.
- Look up the day's showtimes in the Disneyland app or the entertainment schedule before you visit, because the show doesn't run every day.
- Stand in parts of Main Street, U.S.A., along the Rivers of America, or near “it's a small world” Holiday to feel the “snowfall.”
- Keep an eye on the forecast, as the show can be canceled without notice due to weather or other circumstances.
- Watch Sleeping Beauty Castle as well as the sky, because more than 80,000 lights cover it with sparkling icicles and snow-capped turrets.
Special Events & Promotions
- The holiday fireworks return November 13, 2026.
