When and where to get the vacation cult classics – The Mercury News

Disneyland candy canes are back this holiday season and also you'll must rise up early if you need to participate in the vacation tradition that has been happening for greater than half a century.

The limited-time seasonal candy canes might be available on November twenty ninth, December 1st, third, eighth, tenth, fifteenth, seventeenth, twenty second and twenty fourth at Disneyland's Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen and November thirtieth, December 2nd. and sold December 4, 9, 11, 16, 18, 23 and 25 at Trolley Treats at Disney California Adventure.

If you may, it's best to get candy canes at DCA on a weekday (December 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, and 18) or when there are fewer Annual Passholders within the parks (December 18, 19 ). 20, 24 and 25).

Worst days: Sundays at Disneyland (December 1, 8, 15 and 22) or Saturday at DCA (November 30).

You'll probably need to avoid the primary day candy canes go on sale – November twenty ninth – unless you're a glutton for punishment or peppermint.

Disneyland and DCA will once more utilize a mobile waiting list system for candy cane purchases. Candy-hungry shoppers can add their names and phone numbers to the mobile waiting lists at candy cane locations throughout the parks to be notified via text message of their return times for his or her purchases.

MousePlanet We recommend arriving an hour before the park officially opens to secure your candy cane. Day visitors and pass holders can and will enter Main Street USA and Buena Vista Street half-hour prior to park opening together with early entry hotel guests.

As soon because the Candy Kitchen or Trolley Treats gates open, walk briskly – please don’t run – to hitch the mobile waiting list line. Depending on where you’re within the virtual queue, you might have to attend until 3:00 p.m. to receive your vacation voucher.

Magic keyholder discounts or mobile orders usually are not available for the cult classics.

The candy cane making tradition at Disneyland dates back to 1968.

The five-ounce, 18-inch-long candy canes are handcrafted each holiday season from drawn sugar and peppermint extract in display kitchens along Disneyland's Main Street USA and DCA's Buena Vista Street.

Park visitors crowd outside the 2 storefronts to look at Disney candy makers wearing white and wearing striped scarves as they pull and shape the sticky sugar into red, green and white hooks. The flavorful Disneyland treats have a well-recognized peppermint flavor and a fluffier, flakier texture than their machine-made candy cousins.

Typically, fewer than 150 candy canes are sold per day. There is a limit of 1 candy cane per person. The sweet treats find yourself under Christmas trees on eBay and are eaten immediately while they’re still fresh.
