Can it be true? Can Disneyland Resort really be creating a special 8-week long celebration in “inspired by the warmth and joyous spirit of the Latino culture, filled with holiday traditions, jubilant dancing and exciting music”. ¡Así es!
We live so close to Disneyland Resort and are lucky enough to visit the parks many times per year and are always happy to see things like their Día de Muertos altars or Reyes Magos celebrations, but in some way it’s never quite enough. So you can imagine lo felices que estamos that Disney announced today “Disney ¡Viva Navidad!” from November 15, 2013 to January 6th, 2014 in Disney California Adventure Park.
From their announcement:
“Disney ¡Viva Navidad!” is a merry celebration inspired by the warmth and joyous spirit of the Latino culture, filled with holiday traditions, jubilant dancing and exciting music. Based in and around the Paradise Garden area of Disney California Adventure, the special activities include crafts and face-painting for children, live Latino music, dance lessons, holiday foods, a “Disney ¡Viva Navidad! Street Party” and, of course, appearances by some popular Disney characters.
The grand finale of “Disney ¡Viva Navidad!” will be the special celebration of Three Kings Day (Día de los Reyes) Jan. 3 through 6, 2014 in Paradise Garden. We will for sure not miss that one!

What do you think about this announcement? Do you want to go to “Disney ¡Viva Navidad!”?
Very happy Disney is investing in attracting more Latino families to come to their park. I just wish tickets weren’t so darn expensive. I don’t know how families can afford it! It used to be nice when they offered Southern California residents a discount but now there are no such discounts.
OMG! I would be the happiest gal if I go! I have never been to Disneyland and really want to go. Thanks for sharing this Ana.
Marc, I love the chutzpah. You do it better than anyone else. This is a problem that everyone can attest to. It goes in the same category as pathetic photography, not using all exposure channels online to advertise the listing, etc.
