Over in Cars Land, our favorite four-wheeled residents will be pulling out all the stops with their holiday décor. From the snow-covered billboard at the entrance all the way to the hubcap-studded tree at the courthouse, you will see automotive ornamentation at its finest along Route 66. Plus the festive magic to two popular attractions returns as they transform into Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl and Mater’s Jingle Jamboree.

Also around the resort, traditional holiday décor and carolers bring the holiday spirit to Downtown Disney District and the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort. Over at the lobby inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, you’ll want to discover all the fun, new details on the giant gingerbread house this year.

    Do you know whether the parade and fireworks will be each day during the holiday period? I’m confused because it’s listed as an offering for the Merriest Nites, and the parade is only listed as occurring on Nov. 12 and 13. After that date, the website says “no performance today” for the parade. In other words, it looks like the parade is just on Merriest Nites and Nov.12 and 13. Disney seems to be doing all it can to cut expenses and get people to buy special event tickets.
