Hi ya, Kelsey!
Welcome to planDisney, it's lovely to meet you! I got very excited when I saw your question because I love sharing the things that make Disneyland Resort unique! Let's make sure your first visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is totally magical, shall we?
I am still anxiously awaiting news of when Disneyland Resort Vacation Packages will be available for 2024. In the past, we usually get the green light for booking later in the summer, so hang tight! Hopefully we will have an update on the Disney Parks Blog about those vacation packages soon.
Until then, there's plenty to plan! So far I am aware of two events at the Disneyland Resort in January of 2024: the
Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend and the Lunar New Year Celebration. This is runDisney's first time at the Disneyland Resort in several years, so we don't have many details about those events just yet. But we do know that the races will take place from January 11-14.
The
Lunar New Year Celebration is planned to return to Disney California Adventure Park in January 2024 and usually goes into early February. It includes beautiful entertainment, delicious food booths (similar to EPCOT festivals), fun character opportunities, and more! If you visit during this event make sure you take a moment to write a wish for the new year on the Lucky Wishing Wall. It's one of my favorite spots!
You'll also want to make sure that you plan to enjoy the attractions and shows at Disneyland Resort that you won't find anywhere else! A few of my favorites are:
Kelsey, I love the smaller, cozier feel of the California parks. There are so many beautiful areas, like Radiator Springs when the sun goes down, or the "it's a small world" facade all lit up at night! If you'd like to chat more about special things you can only do at the Disneyland Resort just
send me a note and I'd be happy to help you!
Keep moving forward!
