Welcome to planDisney, Nadja,
I wholeheartedly agree! You haven’t experienced the Disneyland Resort until you have been there at
nighttime. Whether it is the
quiet lighting of
Critter Country overlooking the peaceful waters of the
Rivers of America or the vibrant colors of
Pixar Pier reflecting
across Paradise Bay, there is always an awesome sight to behold in the evening.
Madame Leota has been holding tight to her
crystal ball. So we don’t yet know the exact plans for the reopening of the
Disneyland Resort theme parks and
Disneyland Resort Hotels. Though operations are often different from one coast to the other, we may be able to look toward the
Walt Disney World Resort for a few clues. For example, as the Disneyland Resort progresses through its
phased reopening, we can expect that
parades and
nighttime spectaculars will return at a later date.
Though upcoming Disneyland Resort theme park hours have not been announced, I’m personally hopeful that they will include some time after dark. Currently, some of
Walt Disney World Resort theme parks happen to be closing after sunset. With the end of Daylight Saving Time come November, all but
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park will be closing after the lights come on for evening enjoyment. I can’t make any guarantees, but I’m optimistic that you and your girlfriend can cruise down Route 66 listening to “
Sh-boom” as the neon lights of Radiator Springs come alive when the Disneyland Resort theme parks reopen.
Thanks for visiting us at planDisney, Nadja. We’re here to help with any other questions you may have about your visits to the Disney Parks. Whether it’s a recommendation for your next
