Although the Christmas decorations may have been taken down, the joyful spirit of the holiday season continues to thrive at Disneyland Resort. The park eagerly awaits the start of a new chapter, where new adventures and magical surprises will soon captivate guests of all ages. As the seasons change, Disneyland Resort remains an ever-evolving tapestry of enchantment, ensuring that the holiday magic made during the Christmas season will endure in the hearts of visitors until the next memorable Disneyland Christmas extravaganza unfolds.
At least Disney resorts in the US wait until after the New Year to take down the holiday displays. Tokyo Disney takes theirs down at close of business on Christmas Day, and if you go on December 26, you would never know the day before was Christmas!
