A new holiday popcorn bucket has arrived at the popcorn cart located in Pixar Pier. It is a round bucket with stamps showing different Disney Pixar characters on them. Each of the stamps also has a cute saying like “JOY to the world” on the stamp featuring Inside Out, and “Scary Christmas” on the Monsters, Inc. stamp. The bucket is $9.00 and comes with popcorn. – http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2019/12/02/new-pixar-holiday-popcorn-bucket-spotted-in-disney-california-adventure/
There is still plenty of time to experience the holiday offerings at the resort, but, as usual, Disneyland is ahead of the curve already planning for what is coming next. Mickey’s Mix Magic will be returning to the park after the Holidays conclude at the end of the first week in January. We expect that the show will return with projections only during the week, and fireworks on the weekends only. – https://www.micechat.com/244563-disneyland-update-candlelight-candy-canes-resistance-rising/
