Speaker 1 (00:00):
But now it's time to take our first wake Up
called Southern California Sleigh Ride of the season. This week,
we're going out and about two. As you know, one
of my favorite places in the whole wide world, because
the holidays have arrived at the Disneyland Resort. So we

(00:22):
want to say good morning now to Disney Ambassador Jada,
who is here to tell us all about the magic
of the holidays at the Disneyland Resort. So let's get
started by walking in down Main Street in Disneyland Park.
What is so special and magical when people walk down?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
What a scene. I love the way you set it up.
It's perfect. Like you said, the holidays are here at
Disney Resort right now. So as you enter into the
gates of Disneyland Park, you will be immersed. Almost feels
like you're walking into a snow globe.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Such a great explanations.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's perfect. You have decorations all over. You see the
Sleeping Beauty Castle just at the end of street. It's
decked from head to toe with eighty thousand different lights,
and you've got snow on the castle. Decorations all across
and right now it's even more special because we are
still celebrating the seventieth anniversary of the park, so we
have some elements of our celebration all throughout the park

(01:15):
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
But little double dipping, yes exactly, you know, And I
love that the Christmas overlay that you call it, it
touches like almost every piece of the park. So when
you go into New Orleans Square, I love the decorations
that are up, the big balls, the ornaments and stuff
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Exactly on Royal Street, you can like look up and
you have decorations everywhere, and then you're not too far
from Haunted Mansion, which of course has the holiday overlay.
It is currently Haunted Mansion Holiday, so you can go
see Jack Skellington and all his friends. They've decked the halls.
And then just on the other side of the park,
it's a Small World, which of course has the magical
lights all across the facade, so it's very special for

(01:55):
it's a Small World holiday right now and every night
you can see those light up as well.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
One of the cool things to do, I think this
is my little insider tip because it's a small World
is so beautiful at the holidays, is to go and
take the train around the Park and when you go
by there, then you can kind of get an over
an overhead look as you stroll by. No, you're not strolling,
but if you chug on by, right, yeah, okay? So,
and then even the characters are decked out in their

(02:20):
holiday attire.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's right, So we have brand new holiday attire. Mickey
and Minnie are decked from head to toe. And what's
special about their holiday where this year is again because
they're celebrating with seventy you can kind of see some
inspirations from their seventieth outfits as well. So you want
to definitely check them out on Main Street, USA, and
if you have the Disneyland app, you can find out
when you can meet them.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay, perfect, And then let's go across the street over
to Disney California Adventure Park because along with the beautiful
decorations and cars, line is really fun at the holidays.
With that, there's food and there's a lot of it,
and it's the holiday themed food for the Festival of
the Holidays is spectacular.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh, it is the best. I think. I'm I'm partial
or impartial, I guess to Disney Californy Adventure Park because
I started my Disney career there in Carsland actually during
the holidays, so of course I love it.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
But did you work on a ride.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I did. I worked at well, Luigi's Joy to the
World of Holidays, so Luigi's rollickin roadsters year round, but
Luigi's Joy to the World, And yeah, I spent a
lot of time there. But during the holidays, all across
the park we are also celebrating the Festival of Holidays,
which is an amazing celebration that takes us on a
journey to celebrate different cultures and different holiday traditions. So

(03:32):
there's food, there's entertainment all across the park. Oh my gosh,
the food is just amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, and the cool thing is you've got the Sip
and Saver pass again this year, right of course we do, Okay,
So if you're not familiar with it, you buy a
Sip and Savor Pass and then you like it's eight
between eight and ten dollars per plate and they're kind
of small bites, but they're great to go and you
can kind of snack your way around the park and
try tons of different food exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
That Sip and Saver pass is really the best thing.
Like you said, because then you can try six different
dishes for like, you know, a deal of that price.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So it's okay, what's your favorite thing about Disneyland Resort
at the holidays?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Okay, the snow moment that happens every night. That is
so magical because I grew up very close to the park,
so I wasn't immersed in the snow all the time.
So the fact that we get to go to Disneyland
and see it's snow on Main Street is so so special.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
It is like, you're going, how do they make that? Yeah,
it's disney magic.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, it's true. You're like, look up, You're like, that
looks like real snow.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, and where do we find out? Because you need
to still make a reservation, So you go to the
Disneyland app and you can do that all there.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
That's right, So you can download the Disneyland apps, you
can make those reservations. The celebration is happening now through
January seventh. I also recommend checking out Disneyland dot com
because you can find out even more details of how
you can come visit us stay for a couple of days.
There's so much information there and it's really excited to
welcome you.

Speaker 1 (04:48):

do it often enough, but it is a an even
more magical treat. Thank you, Jata, of

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Course, thanks Amy
