Pixelmania West - Christmas 2023

If you are ordering your park ticket from Disney, it looks like the first day that you can buy a ticket and make park reservations for Dec. 11-15 is on August 17. It is 120 days from August 17 to Dec. 15 and they only allow you to make park reservations 120 days in advance. You must make your initial park reservations when you purchase your ticket from the Disneyland web site.

The parks of the day are Disneyland/DCA/Disneyland/DCA/Disneyland.

Here are the revised important dates:
  • Sunday August 13: Purchase tickets and make park reservations for Dec. 11-15 from Disneyland web site
  • Make dining and tour reservations at 9 am EDT:
    • Wednesday Oct. 11 for Sunday Dec. 10
    • Thursday Oct. 12 for Monday Dec. 11
    • Friday Oct 13 for Tuesday Dec 12
    • Saturday Oct 14 for Wednesday Dec. 13
    • Sunday Oct. 15 for Thursday Dec. 14
    • Monday Oct. 16 for Friday Dec. 15
  • Monday October 30: Park hours available for Dec. 11

I looked at the historic park information at TouringPlans.com and found these schedules for last December. With luck, this years schedule will be similar.

Disneyland
  • Park Hours: 8:00am - 12:00am
  • A Christmas Fantasy Parade at 3:30pm and 6:30pm
  • Fantasmic! at 9:00pm and 10:30pm
  • Believe... In Holiday Magic at 9:30pm

DCA
  • Park Hours: 8:00am - 10:00pm
  • Mickey's Happy Holidays at 12:20pm. 1:45pm, 3:45pm and 5:15pm
  • World of Color - One at 9:00pm and 10:15pm

Thank you so much for keeping us organized with this!

I'm scheduled for surgery August 1st and I'm told that I'll be useless for at least 2 weeks afterwards. They don't want me doing anything for 4 weeks but I'll have to figure it out as I go along.

I'll make it a priority to make those Park of the day reservations while I'm recuperating.

I forgot another important date for people like me who have already purchased tickets from Undercover Tourist or some other reseller: Start making park reservations on Sunday, August 13. On that day you can make your reservation for Monday, Dec. 11. Continue for the next four days to complete your set of reservations. Don't forget to add your ticket to your My Disneyland account before trying to make park reservations.

Here are the revised important dates:
  • Sunday August 13: Pre-purchased ticket holders can make a park reservation for Dec. 11.
  • Thursday August 17: Purchase tickets and make park reservations for Dec. 11-15 from Disneyland web site
  • Make dining and tour reservations at 9 am EDT:
    • Wednesday Oct. 11 for Sunday Dec. 10
    • Thursday Oct. 12 for Monday Dec. 11
    • Friday Oct 13 for Tuesday Dec 12
    • Saturday Oct 14 for Wednesday Dec. 13
    • Sunday Oct. 15 for Thursday Dec. 14
    • Monday Oct. 16 for Friday Dec. 15
  • Monday October 30: Park hours are available for Dec. 11

The December park days have not changed. They are still Disneyland / DCA / Disneyland / DCA / Disneyland. Most likely with much park hopping after 11 am.
 
I'd like to schedule a DISNEYLAND Pixelmania WEST Zoom meeting FOR THIS FRIDAY August 11th at 7:30 pm.

Is everyone able to make that? If not we can schedule it for a different date.

On Thursday August 17th, those of us that have not purchased tickets to Disneyland can do so and we'll have to make park reservations when purchasing those tickets.

The park of the day RESERVATION is Disneyland Monday Wednesday Friday and Disney's California adventure on Tuesday and Thursday.

We should probably try and finalize dining plans at this next Disneyland Pixelmania West Zoom meeting so we can have our act together when it comes time to make reservations.

What do you say: @ddindy @gary @Nancy AK

Welcome back! This Friday works for me; next Friday does not.
You may also want to invite the "maybes": @mSummers @donsullivan and the remotely possible @PolynesianMedic. Or not.

I'm working on putting together the Official Disneyland West 2023 thread. I have about 45 pages worth of stuff so far...

One tidbit that will be useful: In mid-December, sunrise is at 6:48 am and sunset is at 4:44 pm. We'll have plenty of time to use those tripods!

I will invite them. I'm sending out the invitations now for this Friday's Disneyland Pixelmania Zoom meeting. If anybody has to miss we can do a recap in a post on your new thread.
