Storytime with Deadpool Holiday Special Hits Disney California Adventure

Hey Disneyland Vacationers! Get ready, because Deadpool is back at Disney California Adventure! This time, our favorite Merc with a Mouth is spreading some holiday cheer in his own unique style. Whether you’re a die-hard Marvel fan or just love a good laugh, the Storytime with Deadpool Holiday Special is the newest must-see addition to Disneyland’s holiday lineup. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this hilarious and festive experience.

What Is Storytime with Deadpool?

If you’re unfamiliar, Storytime with Deadpool debuts today in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure. The concept? Deadpool takes the stage to share stories only the way he can—with snark, wit, and a sprinkle of absurdity. Now, the holiday edition ups the ante with super-special seasonal tales that promise to delight and entertain in true Deadpool fashion.

When and Where Can You Catch It?

The Storytime with Deadpool Holiday Special takes place in Hollywood Land. Here are the daily showtimes:

• 10:30 AM
• 11:30 AM
• 12:30 PM
• 2:00 PM
• 3:00 PM
• 4:00 PM

Pro tip: Be sure to check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest showtime updates. Crowds are expected, so plan ahead to grab a good spot!

Why This Experience Is a Game-Changer

Deadpool is quickly becoming a staple in Disney Parks experiences. This marks his second appearance at Disney California Adventure, following his wildly successful debut last summer to celebrate the release of the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. Fans loved his sharp humor and interactive antics, and now he’s doubling down with a holiday twist.

But Deadpool isn’t stopping there. He’ll also be featured aboard the upcoming Disney Adventure cruise ship, continuing to expand his reach within Disney’s offerings. It’s clear that Marvel’s beloved antihero is carving out his place in the Disney universe, one chimichanga at a time.

The Universal Licensing Catch

Now, for the not-so-great news: don’t expect to see Deadpool at Walt Disney World anytime soon. Due to Universal’s licensing agreement for Marvel characters in Florida, Deadpool and many other Marvel superheroes won’t be gracing the Florida park. So, if you want a dose of Deadpool’s holiday antics, California is the place to be.

Tips for a Stellar Storytime Experience

• Arrive early: Deadpool’s charm draws a crowd, so stake out a spot ahead of showtime.
• Engage: Deadpool’s humor is best enjoyed when you play along. Don’t be afraid to interact—he loves it.
• Plan for multiple shows: Each performance might bring something new, so catching more than one could be worth your while.

Don’t Miss Out

The Storytime with Deadpool Holiday Special is a perfect blend of holiday cheer and Deadpool’s irreverent humor. Whether you’re a Marvel enthusiast or just looking for a fresh twist on holiday entertainment, this experience is a can’t-miss. Make your way to Disney California Adventure and let Deadpool add some extra “merc” to your merry!

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
