We will be visiting Dec 6-9 and staying at The Hotel Indigo: Anaheim. Never stayed there, but got an amazing deal through Hotwire Hot Deals. Really looking forward to being there during the Holidays again! First time was 2 years ago.

Looking forward to the parade and Small World Holiday the most. Thinking of doing Afternoon Tea this visit, too!

You are going to LOVE the Indigo. This will be our third time staying there and it’s just the best hotel. Try and make time for the happy hour at the bar - the appetisers are good and the drinks prices very reasonable. Super friendly staff as well and great modern rooms. We don’t consider anywhere else now!

Also, the afternoon tea is wonderful too. It’s a must do again for this trip!
 
We will be staying at GCH December 8-11! We are so excited! It will be my mom and some cousins. I can't wait for more holiday info to come out .
 


AAAAAAHH I'm so so so excited about our upcoming trip!!!!! We'll be there the Tue-Thur after Thanksgiving, so Nov. 27-29. Staying at Desert Palms Inn & Suites. My husband and I, our three sons (ages 9, 6, 3) and my husband's parents. Over the past few years we've done Disneyland at Halloween time, over Valentines Day, but never during Christmas holidays! WOOOT!!!!!!
 
Alright y’all it’s getting REAL!!!

Who is going for the opening day of the holiday festivities?!? Your dinning reservation window opens TOMORROW!

Ahhhhh!!
 


We'll be there Nov 3-10th, split stay at DLH and Grand Legacy at the Park! Dapper Day AND Christmas, I can't stand it!!

First time to Disneyland, we will be at the Hotel Indigo, Nov 7-11, so I can let you know how it is.
 
All the Halloween stuff is just making me more anxious to know what Christmas may bring!

I really want to know about shows. PTN reservations didn’t open for nov 9th like I hoped they would, but neither did any shows. So I don’t think they’ve updated it yet. Makes one wonder if they aren’t sure about WOC and just don’t know yet!

I know even though my trip isn't until December I'm excited to here what they'll have this Christmas.

The suspense is killing me!! I’ve been checking too and it’s all just not yet available... I really hope WOC will be available!!!

Ahhhhh!!
I’m going!! I’m so excited to see all the Christmas decorations!! Planning to go that weekend Nov 9-12, trying to choose which days to actually go to Disneyland and CA, we’re only doing 1 park/day tickets. :) leaning toward Sunday in Dl and Monday at CA, but can’t decide if there will be less crowded days?

We’ll be there!! So excited!
Me too! We’ve got a big group this time, 2 adults, 3 teens and 2 babies! Sooooo exciting!!

Like I mentioned above, we’ll be out there November 9-12,but not sure about opening weekend crowds? Taking our 2 foster babies (will be just 2 and 11months!) and our teenage daughters and one boyfriend ;). Anyone go opening Christmas weekend and have advice? :)
 
My DH and I will also be there opening weekend since 11/11 is my birthday. I've made 3 reservations, but i'm not set on any of them. Just wanted them as a "just in case" since it's gonna be busy. Friday - Lamplight Lounge (probably just for drinks), Saturday - Blue Bayou dinner, Sunday - Carnation Cafe breakfast (this will probably be a for sure). I have two reservations for hotels as well, a Best Western (can't remember which off the top of my head) but it's on the backside of the parks and Grand Legacy (which we've never stayed at). Leaning towards cancelling the BW and keeping Grand Legacy since it's a lot closer of a walk.
 
We have a big group too. 8 adults and 3 children. We’ve never been to Dapper Day or Christmas so I’m really looking forward to any hints and advice.

big group here too ! 9 adults 4 teens 1 disney adult child. What are your dining plans for a big group? Are you planning on staying all together in the parks?
 
Tink89, Our plan is to spend part of the time together but also split off as we feel like it. It’s myself, husband, 3 sons and their wives, and 3 grandkids. One of our Grandkids turns 5 on this trip. We will all eat at Carnation Cafe for his birthday (his request). We are also eating at Storytellers for a character breakfast and Blue Bayou for lunch. We’ll do counter service for the other meals.
