All photos courtesy Disney Parks Blog Like many people, I had to reschedule a vacation more than once because of coronavirus. The trip that I had to keep changing was to Disneyland. The last time our trip didn’t happen we decided to visit during the holidays this year. Next month, we are finally going to go! I’ve never been to Disneyland during the holidays, and I can’t wait. I’m even more excited now, thanks to the following from Disney Parks Blog.
