From ScreamScape.com comes this rumor…
I’m hoping I’m wrong about this rumor, but according to a few sources 2012 may go down as the last year that Disneyland park guests will have access to all the special winter Christmas fireworks shows and parades for free. Instead, the resort is rumored to be switching to a series of upcharge hard-ticket events for Christmas 2013, following the business model of Walt Disney World’s “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party” nights where all guests (even passholders) pay prices up to $40 for an aproximate 4-hour private Christmas themed night in the park. This will be handled in similar fashion to Disneyland’s Halloween-Time hard ticket event.
