The Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort are two of the best places in the world for Guests to enjoy a Disney vacation.

One of the best times to visit Disneyland Resort is during the holiday time. The holiday season has some of the best seasonal overlays, amazing food, and wonderful shows on offer for Guests to enjoy. One of the most iconic seasonal overlays at Disneyland Resort is “it’s a small world” Holiday, where the beloved attraction is decked out with 50,000 lights illuminating its iconic facade and an additional 350,000 mini-lights light up the trees, hedges, and animal topiaries surrounding the attraction.

The official Disneyland Resort website states, “Starting January 9, 2023, “it’s a small world” Holiday will close for refurbishment before reopening as “it’s a small world.” Please check back for updates.”
