Hello Renee, and welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by en route to the Happiest Place on Earth. Your
Disneyland Resort adventure is about to begin, so let's answer your question!
Nighttime spectaculars at
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park are just that - spectacular! I checked the Daily Events Schedule, and as I write this, two incredible shows are planned for Sunday, January 21, 2024.
Mickey's Mix Magic with Fireworks will go off at 9:30 PM that evening in Disneyland Park, and
World of Color - ONE at Disney California Adventure Park at 9:15 and 10:30 PM. Because entertainment schedules are subject to change due to weather, you'll want to consult the Disneyland mobile app throughout the day for updates. On the day of your visit, scroll down on the home screen until you see a button for "Today's Showtimes." Tap the button to view a list of fireworks, nighttime entertainment, and daytime shows in the theme parks and the
Downtown Disney District.
I hope the weather cooperates so you can experience Disneyland Resort's incredible evening offerings. If World of Color - ONE is part of your plans (it's my favorite Disneyland Resort nighttime spectacular) be sure to enter the virtual queue through the Disneyland mobile app. Guests can request to join the virtual queue beginning at noon, so I recommend setting an alarm on your mobile device as a reminder. If you're anything like me, you'll be too busy having fun in the theme park to know what time it is! The virtual queue grants you access to a standing-room-only lakeside viewing area.
For Mickey's Magic Mix, try to secure a viewing location on Main Street U.S.A. at least thirty minutes before showtime. Projections are visible on the shops and Sleeping Beauty Castle, so for the best possible view, position yourself on Main Street U.S.A., about halfway to Sleeping Beauty Castle.
I hope this helps with your plans, Renee. Best wishes for a memorable vacation, and we can't wait to welcome you "home" very soon!
