    Coming to Disneyland may 15-20 2026. I know weekend has all the nightly events(fireworks etc) On a weekday, will there be fireworks? Or what evening event will not be showing?

    Hi there, Jessica!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney. I’m excited to help you plan your visit!

    You are traveling far and wide to visit us here at the Disneyland Resort, and I am confident that it will be worth your while! 

    Here are the nighttime entertainment offerings you can experience at Disneyland Park:At Disney California Adventure, there is one nighttime entertainment event — World of Color Happiness!

    As you have stated, all of these events are typically shown on the weekends between Friday and Sunday. At this time, the Disneyland entertainment schedule only shows availability up to around 60 days in advance. Here is what you can expect based on the current information available:
    • On weekdays, fireworks are typically replaced with projection-only versions.
    • Some nighttime entertainment may not be offered every weekday (e.g., Paint the Night).
    • World of Color Happiness! is often scheduled most nights, even on weekdays.
    Jessica, please keep in mind that things may change by the time you arrive and even during your visit. For specific showtimes, be sure to check out the events calendar online or within the Disneyland mobile app.

    Bonus Tip: If you have not already, consider adding the Lightning Lane MultiPass to your ticket package. Not only will you and your family be able to get on rides faster, but you will be able to commemorate your memories using Disney PhotoPass Service! When my family visits the park, I am often behind the lens documenting our memories. However, I love having PhotoPass as it eliminates the pressure I put on myself to be the camerawoman 24/7. More importantly, I can be in the photo too!

    Jessica, you and your family are gearing up for a truly magical adventure at Disneyland! If you need any help as you continue to plan, please come see us again here at planDisney.

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
