Heya, Brock! Welcome to planDisney! Wow, what an awesome time to be planning your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth! That’s right in the heart of the dazzling
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort season, and with the 70th Celebration adding its own layer of pixie dust, you’re in for a truly memorable experience. I can just imagine all of the festive cheer!
You’ve asked a great question that’s on many Guests’ minds: how much of the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration entertainment will be sparkling alongside the beloved Holiday offerings? Right now, Mickey and his team of magic-makers are keeping the full plan for that specific period tucked away (perhaps near the Christmas cookie recipes?!).
What we do know is that cherished traditions like A Christmas Fantasy Parade, the breathtaking "Believe... In Holiday Magic" Fireworks Spectacular, and the ever-so-charming "it's a small world" Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday will be returning during the season. To make room for all this festive fun, some of the ongoing 70th Celebration entertainment might take a brief winter’s intermission, or be specially adapted to harmonize with the season. The exact way the 70th festivities will blend with the holiday enchantment is a delightful detail that will be revealed closer to your visit.
The 70th Celebration has introduced some truly show-stopping entertainment across both parks! Over at Disneyland Park, there’s the
Paint the Night parade—I actually had the chance to see it recently, and believe me, it’s just as brilliant and vibrant as ever! And over at Disney California Adventure Park, the
Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! parade is bringing so much joy with its incredible floats and heartwarming stories of friendship. These are the kinds of special 70th Celebration experiences that Guests are loving right now. How these fantastic parades, and any other special anniversary offerings, will share the stage with the holiday season's own cherished shows is the exciting question mark we're all waiting on.
But here’s what you can dream about, Brock: The parks will be absolutely aglow, a true winter wonderland brimming with stunning holiday decorations, from the majestic Christmas tree on Main Street, U.S.A., to the shimmering icicles on Sleeping Beauty Castle. Even with the holidays in full swing, the 70th Celebration will undoubtedly add its unique commemorative touches and celebratory atmosphere throughout the resort. Beyond the breathtaking sights, you’ll almost certainly be able to enjoy many of the signature holiday entertainment offerings that make this time of year so special.
Your very best bet is to keep an eye on the
Daily Events Schedule as your trip gets closer. That’s where all the confirmed shows, parade times, and magical happenings will be listed. I also love keeping up with the
Disney Parks Blog and
Disneyland Resort Instagram account, as they often slip a few sneak peeks in there ahead of formal announcements!
No matter the exact entertainment lineup, Brock, your visit is timed for an incredibly special and joyous period at the Disneyland Resort. Get ready for a whole lot of magic!
