Disney Really Is Magical for All Ages! 
by Kathryn, Austin, TX, 39 

My first trip to Walt Disney World was with a boyfriend in 1988,

YOUR QUESTION 
Did Disneyland have Christmas theming starting from the opening year? 
Lionel T., 42, Berkeley, CA 

DAVE'S ANSWER 
Yes, Disneyland has had a holiday theme every year it has been open. 
In 1955, the “Christmas at Disneyland Festival” ran from November 24 to 
January 8, 1956.  Included was a “Christmas Show Parade” and a Christmas 
Bowl where visiting groups performed.
