I have two friends who are going to Disneyland and DCA at Christmas for the first time. Besides Beleive in Holiday magic and the Christmas Parade, what else do you guys think is the best to see in the Holiday spirit? They only have one day.

we try to go every year for christmas.
if i had to go only one day, i would want to see everything big.
fantasmic, electric light parade, believe,
i would start at dl with the big rides that are not fp like matterhorn and peter pan.
then ij, sm, potc, jc and hm.
i would then cross over to dca and fp soarin', california screaming and millionaire.
if you are there at 7:30, IMHO and experience, this should take until 2 at which time you can work your way through the rest of DCA.
star tours in dl can be done after believe as well as the rest of fantasyland.

They take the Haunted Mansion and overlay Nightmare Before Christmas characters, saying that Jack Skellington has taken over the Mansion for the holidays. It's up from October through January, straddling Halloween and Christmas.

It's awesome. :cool:

Thanks Cadaverous Pallor. I have been on the ride, it is awesome! I just didn't realize the attraction was themed through January. I was awestruck at the detail and integration of the Jack Skellington world into the ride by the Imagineers.
