Welcome back to planDisney, Janice! It’s so exciting to hear that you’ll be visiting the Disneyland Resort for the first time later this year. Both
Disneyland and
Disney California Adventure have their own unique charm and magic, and I know you’re going to love every magical moment!
Currently
Fantasmic! has show times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, I checked the Daily Events schedule for the week of your visit in May and it seems the Fantasmic! performance schedule has not been released as yet for dates after Monday, March 3rd. But don’t worry! As May draws approaches, the calendar will be updated with the latest entertainment offerings. It’s also possible that additional performances of Fantasmic! may be added, so I recommend checking back for the most up-to-date information.
Another helpful tip is to download the
Disneyland App for real-time updates on entertainment during your visit. The app is a treasure chest of helpful features, including the ability to check showtimes quickly. Just tap the “Entertainment” tab to see a list of offerings and their locations in each park
Since you mentioned that this will be your first time visiting the Disneyland Resort, Janice, I have a few enchanted Q-Tips to make your trip unforgettable. In Disneyland, I highly recommend visiting Fantasyland and experiencing the unique dark rides that are only available stateside at this park. don’t miss Fantasyland and its classic dark rides that are exclusive to this park. For instance,
Snow White’s Enchanted Wish takes you on a delightful journey through the story of Disney’s very first princess. Enhanced in 2021 with dazzling new projections, effects, and a heartwarming finale, it’s sure to leave everyone feeling more Happy than Grumpy. Another favorite is
Alice in Wonderland, a whimsical adventure that offers a unique view of Fantasyland as the ride takes you from one level to another, which is pure magic!
Over at Disney California Adventure, be sure to explore Avengers Campus and Cars Land, two must-see lands bursting with excitement. In Avengers Campus, you might spot your favorite Marvel heroes patrolling the area. Keep your Spidey senses sharp as you never know who you’ll meet! Meanwhile, Cars Land is a joy for all ages. As my wife is fond of saying, you never see anyone without a smile on their face while on
Radiator Springs Racers,
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, or
Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters.
Janice, I hope these tips help you gear up for your upcoming trip! Visiting Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for the first time is an experience you’ll cherish forever. If you have more questions or need further advice, we’re always here for you at planDisney.
Have the most magical time!
