Over at Disneyland Resort, from December 9 – 15, guests are invited to come train and learn how to be one of Santa’s elves.
Here, guests will head over to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail at Disney California Adventure. This area, found in Grizzly Peak, has become a new training ground for new recruits to join the team of Santa’s highly skilled elves.

They will also be able to get obtain an official elf name, learn the secret Elf Handshake, as well as take a photo flying in Santa’s sleigh!

So, here’s a question that’s been haunting me every time I read about these Limited Time Magic tours: Do they announce that these are happening to guests currently in the park in such a way that they’d even have time to sign up for them? Because if I didn’t check your website, I’d have no idea this was happening; meanwhile everyone knew the Dapper Dans were going to sing Boy Band songs.
Nope. You have to check the Disney Parks Blog for when these events take place. That is the only way to be able to sign up. Matter of fact, I was in the parks in early October and if I hadn’t have checked Twitter and saw that there was a posting on the Disney Parks Blog, I wouldn’t have known they were offering one for the next week. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take part in it because I would be leaving before the special tours took place. There was absolutely no advance warning and no advertising to guests in the park that it was on the horizon.
Wow. Just… there was a part of me that kind of suspected that but it’s still amazing to see it confirmed. Unbelievable.
