    Hello!We are planning to visit Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in Anaheim from August 26 to 29 this year. Will Fantasmic!, World of Color, and the fireworks shows be operating during our stay? Thank you very much!

    Hello, Tomomi, and a very warm welcome to planDisney! 

    Thank you for trusting us with your great question! I can understand the desire to plan ahead and maximize the magic while you are visiting the Happiest Place on Earth, 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 just a little bit closer, Tomomi. The Daily Events Schedule is an incredibly helpful resource, not only providing an entertainment schedule for you and confirming which nighttime spectaculars will be showing, but also includes attraction closure information, park hours, as well as the events occurring during your visit. Make sure you've selected your specific dates and park at the top.

    However, one clue that Fantasmic! might be showing during your visit is that, at the time of this writing, it does look like there is availability for Fantasmic! Dining Packages on August 29, when I checked the Disneyland website. And if you're looking for a Fantasmic! Dining Package recommendation, Tomomi, consider Rancho del Zocalo! I just returned from a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth and had the opportunity to experience this particular package for the first time and I was really impressed! My son and I both really enjoyed our meals - and the portions were huge! Also, Rancho del Zocalo is, in my opinion, your best value for the Fantasmic! Dining Package, as your designated viewing spot is in roughly the same area as it would be if you booked a dining package at Cafe Orleans or River Belle Terrace (standard) - which I have experienced both of those as well. 

    All that said, it's important to know that the entertainment schedule can change at any time.

    What an exciting and very special visit you have coming up to the Happiest Place on Earth so soon, Tomomi! The end of August is one of my family's favorite times of year to visit Disneyland, for so many reasons, but especially for the opportunity to experience the frightfully fun Halloween season! Halloween Time is scheduled to officially return August 22 and, with that, themed attractions, entertainment, dining and more. You're in for a real treat! Speaking of treats, keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for the Halloween Foodie Guide, likely announced soon! My family once changed around our entire visit after seeing that Foodie Guide, just to make sure we were there to eat some of those treats - it's that good!

    I hope this information has been helpful for you in your planning, Tomomi. If you have any additional questions about your upcoming visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, or you'd like me to share some of my tips and recommendations for a truly magical visit, please stop by again and ask me another question. I'm always happy to chat about Disneyland - anytime.

    Warmest wishes,
    McCayla

Meet the Panelist: McCayla, Washington

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.
