London, 24th July 2008 -- Where better to kick off the Christmas season than at magical Disneyland Resort Paris! The spirit of Christmas comes alive this year from 8th November, 2008 to 6th January, 2009. Celebrate the most joyous time of year with your family in the company of the Disney Characters in their Christmas costumes.

Santa Claus' Village comes to Disneyland Resort Paris for the very first time in 2008. Children are invited to enter Santa's winter wonderland to meet the man himself and pose for a memorable photo. What's more, in the heart of the village children can find the Santa Claus Post Office where they can post their Christmas wish-lists in time for a Christmas Eve delivery. And with the help of a little Disney magic, the children will receive Santa's response sent directly to their homes!

Also new for 2008, Disneyland Resort Paris will host Mickey's Magical Christmas Dinner*, a unique new dining experience where guests can join the Disney Characters for a huge Christmas buffet feast, complete with sparkling lights and sing-along music that will make hearts warm and spirits soar! (Ticket only event).

And for a guaranteed white Christmas, snowflakes will fall from the sky on Main Street U.S.A giving everyone the special Christmas memory they have always dreamed of!

Christmas season festivities include:

* Enchanted Candleabration -- Mickey and his friends invite guests to Central Plaza for an unforgettable evening ceremony held in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, which transforms into a glistening ice palace
* Disney's Fantillusion -- Princes, Princesses and other Disney characters emerge on Main Street, U.S.A. at nightfall to host a magnificent parade where Disney's best-loved fairytales are retold
* Santa Claus, VIP guest of Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade -- Santa Claus appears at the end of this magical procession to wish everyone a Merry Christmas
* Minnie's Jolly Holidays Show -- Minnie Mouse, along with her Chorus Boys and Girls, invites guests to join her in the celebration of Christmas as she hosts a fantastic show with many jolly surprises
* Meet Goofy Santa -- Lovable Goofy dressed as Santa Claus in his sleigh will welcome children for a souvenir photo
* Belle's Christmas Village -- With picturesque taverns and snow-covered stalls, Fantasyland transforms into an authentic medieval village at Christmastime
* Mickey's Winter Wonderland -- Mickey and his pals put on their ice skates for a winter spectacular the whole family will love
* Christmas at Disney Village -- Disney Village will be the home of a traditional Christmas Market this year

The Celebration continues... big time with a 'Kids Under 7 Stay and Play' free offer until 7th March 2009. The package is valid for up to three children per one paying adult per room booked, and includes a stay in a Disney Hotel and entrance to both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park.
