Christmastime at Disneyland Resorts
This holiday season, through January 6, the entire Disneyland Resort will light up and sparkle as the festivities begin as early as October with two stunning new shows and attractions: the whimsical Haunted Mansion Holiday in Disneyland and the dazzling Disney's LuminAria in Disney's California Adventure.

The new Disney's LuminAria, a spectacular celebration of glittering lights, colorful images and favorite holiday music performed on the waters of Paradise Bay surrounding the park's Paradise Pier area, will debut at Disney's California Adventure on November 9, 2001.

Disney's LuminAria begins as all the lights within Disney's California Adventure dim and a swirling pyrotechnic-flame ignites the surface of Paradise Bay. The show then follows with an astounding display of fireworks appearing to dance to such musical standards as "White Christmas," "Sleigh Ride," "Valse de Fleurs," and numerous others. Giant screens on the water will display hundreds of holiday cards hand crafted by park Guests earlier in the day, and a giant 60-foot tree filled with candles will appear to rise from the bay.

In addition to Disney's LuminAria, Disney's Electrical Parade will resume its nightly run in Disney's California Adventure on Thanksgiving Day. The pageant's illuminating nighttime performances, coupled with its distinctive "Baroque Hoe-down" synthesized soundtrack has been a favorite of Disney theme park Guests for nearly 30 years.

Disney's California Adventure will teem with holiday spirit from lights and garland adorning the replica of the Golden Gate Bridge to a 30-foot Christmas tree inside Hollywood Pictures Backlot. Colored lights will be wrapped around the palm trees in Paradise Pier, and gold ornaments will be placed festively on the buildings in the Bay Area district of the park.

The Haunted Mansion Holiday headlines this year's holiday celebration at Disneyland. The new attraction, which opened October 5, 2001, will continue operating throughout the annual transformation of Disneyland into the "The Merriest Place On Earth." Jack Skellington from the film Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas will descend upon the world-famous Haunted Mansion to bring his vision of the holidays to life. Guests will have to watch out for witty gags and playful twists inserted into the original attraction storyline.

Included in the Disneyland holiday magic will be the "it's a small world holiday" attraction, a New Orleans Square Christmas celebration, the park's traditionally decorated 60-foot Christmas tree, and beginning Thanksgiving day, "A Christmas Fantasy" parade will perform daily along Main Street, U.S.A.

The holiday season will also feature "Believe... In Holiday Magic," a special version of the park's popular fireworks spectacular followed by snowfall.
