    When does Disneyland in California open up 2026 Calendar

    Hello there, Velvet!

    Welcome to planDisney. You sound like a planner, so I'm glad you've found your planner besties, and I'm happy to help as much as possible!

    So, if you are looking for Park Hours and daily events like parades, fireworks, and entertainment (including the special 70th Anniversary celebrations which are going on now through Summer '26), hover over "Tickets and Parks" online, and then under "Explore Our Parks," you will find the link to the daily calendar. The calendar usually runs about 6-8 weeks out, though.

    Disney usually releases information 6-8 months ahead for major events and festivals, so keep an eye out on the Disney Parks Blog, as they are usually the first to announce things! We know that the Land will continue to celebrate its anniversary through next summer and that the first runDisney weekend is planned for January 29-February 1st. We can use the 2025 Calendar as a guide for what's happening in 2026, so you can bet on Oogie Boogie Bash happening late August-Halloween, and the Festival of the Holidays starting very soon after (just a few weeks!) and going through the beginning of January 2027. Food & Wine consistently happens in the spring, and I LOVE the Lunar Festival, which kicks off the year.

    If you are looking for booking and ticket options, vacation packages are available to book through the first week of January. If you are a Magic Key Holder, the calendar is available here through August 2026, and if you are a Disney Vacation Club Member, your home resort is available to book 11 months out, while all other resorts are open to book 7 months out.

    Velvet, if you have any other questions or want to talk more about planning closer to next year, you know where to find us!
