My family and I hit the park for\u00a0OC Mom Magazine<\/a> to check out the new fun and festivities, and we picked a few of our favorite things you can\u2019t miss when spending the season at Disneyland Resort, starting with the new star power of Star Wars \u2026<\/p>\n

\"NEW<\/a><\/p>\n

By far, the biggest wow factor this year is found at Tomorrowland\u2014be merry and bright as you cross over to the dark side with the Season of the Force that just opened.\u00a0Hyperspace Mountain<\/b>\u00a0is a thrill with Space Mountain reimagined to the Star Wars soundtrack and galaxy lights lit up bright all around, as an X-wing Starfighter battle surrounds you. Our 4-year-old rode the classic coaster for the first time, and \u201cThat was awesome!\u201d were the first three words that bursted out of his mouth. Our older kids were even more enthusiastic. It really is great fun! Be sure to hit Star Wars Launch Bay also, with character encounters, video games and authentic replicas of film props too. Star Wars: Path of the Jedi shows at Tomorrowland Theatre\u2014it\u2019s an exclusive short cinematic compilation of the\u00a0Star Wars<\/i>\u00a0saga. Finally, check out the remodeled Star Tours \u2013 The Adventures Continue, with a glimpse into a new journey from\u00a0Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Next, nothing beats a simple\u00a0stroll along Main Street<\/strong>. Each year, it always brings the season home. D\u00e9cor delights with festive sights in every window and holiday treats for the taking. Around the Disneyland Resort, you\u2019ll find more than 19,000 poinsettia plants and about 2,500 feet of grand greenery. Also, more than 100 live miniature Christmas trees abound. Where else can you find all that in one place?<\/p>\n

\"MAJESTIC<\/a><\/p>\n

Small World<\/b>\u00a0is a big dose of eye candy. Did you know the fa\u00e7ade of \u201cit\u2019s a small world\u201d burns bright with more than 60,000 colorful LED Christmas lights? This year, nearly 300,000 miniature LED lights sparkle within the trees, hedges and topiaries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cars Land\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>revs up joy with holiday d\u00e9cor and more at Disney California Adventure Park.\u00a0Radiator Springs is fully in the spirit. At the Cozy Cone Motel, Sally\u2019s traffic cone tree stands nearly 9 feet tall.<\/p>\n

\"SEASON'S<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDisneyland Forever\u201d fireworks<\/strong>is as spectacular as ever. The street-to-sky, immersive experience delights with pyrotechnics and music. You\u2019re surrounded by the worlds of timeless Disney tales, and kids are on the tips of their toes, thanks to the largest installation of projection mapping technology in a Disney park and surprising special effects.<\/p>\n
