    We are coming to Disneyland 28 -31 October. What is the likehood that the Paint the night Parade, Fantasmic and Fireworks will be on daily rather than just the weekend? (with it being Halloween). Thanks Carolyn

    Hi Carolyn! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so thrilled you have a visit to Disneyland coming up and am excited for all the frightfully fun you're about to experience during the most magical time of year. 

    Thank you for stopping by with your great question. I can understand your desire to plan ahead and maximize the magic during your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth (I'm the same way!), however, entertainment schedules are not released until about six weeks out. I encourage you to check the Daily Events Schedule on the Disneyland website as your visit gets a little bit closer. In my experience, nighttime entertainment usually occurs every night during Halloween Time, but you'll be able to confirm the most current information under "Fireworks & Nighttime Entertainment" and "Parades" on the Daily Events Schedule. Make sure your particular date is selected from the "Change Date" at the top.

    We do know that the fall favorites and Disneyland's 70th Celebration will overlap during Halloween Time - which is huge news! Not only will we get to experience the frightfully fun haunts of Halloween Time (which begins August 22), but we'll also get to enjoy much of the incredible 70th Celebration entertainment, as well, including the dazzling Paint the Night parade continuing throughout the Halloween season! 

    TIP: Because there is so much entertainment to experience in Disneyland right now, I recommend purchasing a Rancho del Zocalo Fantasmic! Dining Package for the first showing of Fantasmic! to secure a great viewing spot. (Rancho del Zocalo is an incredible value for the Fantasmic! Dining Package.) Then, after the conclusion of Fantasmic!, experience the fireworks from the very same spot! Projections should be displayed over the Rivers of America - two for one!

    All that said, it's important to know that the schedule can change at any time and fireworks at Disneyland Park can also be cancelled last minute due to weather, unfortunately. 

    I hope this information has been helpful to you, Carolyn! I trust you'll be dreaming a fantastic dream in no time. If any other planning questions come up as you're preparing for your upcoming visit, you know where to find us!

    Magic awaits,
    McCayla

Hello from the Pacific Northwest! I'm McCayla, a wife and mom dreaming of adventure in the great wide somewhere, yet also completely content watching Toy Story from the couch. My love of Disneyland began as a little girl on Peter Pan's Flight and only grows with each visit. But even when I'm not physically at the Happiest Place on Earth, I truly feel that same joy when I can help others (YOU!) experience the magic of Disneyland Resort too.
