Hi there Janelle,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad to hear you have a trip to the
Disneyland Resort planned later this year - it'll be here before you know it!
It sounds like the
Hours & Events Schedule is exactly what you're looking for! This will show you all the fun things happening around the Disneyland Resort during your trip and is available about six weeks out from the current date. It will show you things like parades, nighttime spectaculars, and even planned refurbishments for attractions for the date that you set near the top left corner of the screen.
I'll also note that there is a toggle near the top right corner of the page that will show you either a 1-day view or a 5-day view so you can see everything in one place. You'll just need to select from the filters near the top center and you'll be able to see the schedule once it's available!
From what I've seen in previous years, there are typically fireworks shows on weekend nights (weather permitting) and projections shows during weeknights, but you'll want to check the schedule to confirm when you get a bit closer to your trip.
There are always fun and exciting things happening around the Happiest Place on Earth, and my favorite way to stay on top of it all is the
Disney Parks Blog. Make sure to keep an eye there as well as you get closer to your trip to hear about any news about upcoming events and seasons that will be happening during your visit.
Thanks again for your question, Janelle! I hope you have a wonderful visit later this year.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
