One of Disneyland Resort’s most cherished holiday traditions is returning once again. The resort has released the official distribution schedule for its famous handmade candy canes, which will be available on select dates at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park beginning late November.
These extra-large peppermint candy canes have been handcrafted in the parks for decades, and their limited availability makes them one of the most sought-after holiday treats each year. Guests often line up early in the morning for a chance to purchase one, and demand is always high.
This year, Disneyland Resort will once again use a wristband distribution system to help manage the crowds and ensure a smoother experience. Here’s how it works:
- Wristbands will be handed out in the morning at each location on distribution days.
- Each wristband allows the guest to purchase one candy cane.
- Quantities are very limited and often sell out quickly.
- Guests are encouraged to arrive early.
