Hi, I looked at the Disney.com web site and the first week of Dec (12/3 through 12/8) when we're there, the park closes at 6:00pm???
And, there are no parades scheduled???

Anyone have any info.

Thanks!

It's open until midnight on the Saturday (3rd) and until 9p.m.on the Sunday (4th). Agree that weekdays it is shutting at 6p.m. Maybe it's too early yet for parade times. Can't belive there is no daily parade.
Check later on :disneyland.disney.go.com

Disneyland will close at 6 PM instead of 8 PM on Monday, December 5th, and Tuesday, December 6th only. These two days are for the yearly Cast Member holiday parties. Saturday the 3rd, DL closes at Midnight, and Sundaay the 4th, at 11 PM. The 7th and 8th, the park closes at normal 8 PM weekday closing. So there is only 4 less hours than another off-season week. But the reason why the park closes early, is the fact that it is traditionally one of the slowest weeks of the year, so you should be able to get more done due to less waits in the queues.

As for the Entertainment and Parades, they are not listed for December yet.

During your visist, the Fireworks, with the added snow effect willl be offered daily, even the Monday and Tuesday. On Saturday and Sunday, they will be at 9:25, Wednesday and Thursday, the normal 7:45 weekday time, and 5:45 PM on the Monday and Tuesday (FYI, sunset is around 4:45 that time of year, so it will be nice and dark for the fireworks.)

Fantasmic! will have two shows on Saturday (9 and 10:30 PM), and one show ay 9 PM on Sunday. No Fantasmic! during the week. (Normal off-season schedule, daily showings of Fantasmic! will only be offered during peak).

As for the parades, you should get both parades daily, look at the schedule for the November 26th thru 30th period for the times. (The week before you come, a typical off-season Christmas schedule), so adjustments might be made on the 5th and 6th due to the 6 PM closing.

You will get a full set of shows and other stuff too (Don't forget, Block Party Bash is dark on Wednesday and Thursdays, and Aladdin is dark on Mondays and Tuesdays).

Thanks for all the info! We're going that same time (Dec. 2nd and leaving the 8th). Because of the Candel light Procession that weekend and with DL closing early on Mon and Tues, with a five day pass do you think we will be able to see just about everything? How large do you think the crowds might be Mon-Wed?

Can I ask when a show is dark such as Fantasmic not showing on weekdays - what do those CMs do? Do they have other jobs in the park or do they just sit at home and not get paid? Anybody know?
