Hi there, Rebecca! Oh boy! With your trip coming up next month, your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner! And, you've come to the right place—here at planDisney, we practically hum Disney parade tunes in our sleep!
You're in for a treat because the Mickey and Friends Cavalcade is scheduled to bring its delightful energy to Disneyland Park during both days of your visit! While it's a bit shorter than Disneyland’s grand parades, it's still packed with opportunities to let your inner Mouseketeer shine and groove along to the catchy music! You'll get to wave hello to some of your favorite pals as they make their way through the park, spreading smiles like confetti. The cavalcade usually makes two appearances each day, but the schedule is subject to change, especially if Mother Nature decides to sprinkle a little unexpected magic (or rain!). Keep an eye on the
daily events schedule or check the
Disneyland mobile app as your visit gets closer for all of the latest showtimes. I'm sending all my wishes for sunny skies!
Now, if you find yourself with that irresistible urge for more Disney enchantment even after the cavalcade has passed, don't you worry your Mickey ears! There are plenty of other ways to soak up that parade-like energy. Head over to the
Royal Theatre in Fantasyland for some truly delightful entertainment! Here, you can catch charming and humorous retellings of classic Disney tales, often with a playful and interactive twist.
If character greetings are what you're after, you're in luck! While it might not be a moving spectacle like a parade, the chance to meet your favorite Disney characters up close is a truly magical experience. Be sure to check the Disneyland app for character greeting locations and times. Just tap the map pin icon at the bottom, then press the “Characters” button at the top to find out where you can meet your favorite characters. Pro tip: Tap on a location, then tap on a character’s name to view the times that you can expect to find them.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for those spontaneous bursts of fun that pop up all around the parks! From the charming Citizens of Buena Vista Street greeting Guests in Disney California Adventure Park to other playful interactions you might just happen upon, these unexpected moments can add some extra magic to your day.
No discussion of Disneyland Resort entertainment would be complete without mentioning the breathtaking nighttime spectaculars! In Disneyland Park, get ready to groove with Mickey Mouse during
Mickey's Mix Magic! This high-energy show features dazzling lasers and vibrant projections dancing across the night, all perfectly choreographed to upbeat remixes of your most beloved Disney tunes. Or, if you find yourself in Disney California Adventure Park, prepare to be swept away by the awe-inspiring
World of Color – ONE. This spectacular water show weaves together breathtaking sights and sounds, creating a truly unforgettable and emotional experience. Both are dazzling finales to a day filled with Disney magic!
Rebecca, I hope this helps you make the most of the magical entertainment Disneyland Park has to offer during your visit! If any other questions pop into your head before your trip, don't hesitate to reach out to us again at planDisney—we're always here to help make your Disneyland dreams come true!
