Hey there Emma,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question. Your trip to the Happiest Place on Earth will be here in just a couple of weeks - how exciting! Have you started counting down the days, yet?
In terms of your entertainment options on July 30, you are certainly in for a treat! There are a number of different options for you to enjoy on that day.
To start, you'll have two different opportunities to enjoy the
"Magic Happens" Parade - at 3:00 PM or again at 5:30 PM. Later that evening, you can also catch
Fantasmic! at either 9:00 PM or 10:30 PM. Then there will be fireworks that evening as well! You can catch
Together Forever - A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular with Fireworks in multiple different locations throughout the park. Additionally, there has been a really cool option to watch the fireworks from
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge for a completely different experience called
Fire of the Rising Moons.
If you're a night owl, my suggestion would be to catch the fireworks at 9:30 PM and the later showing of Fantasmic! at 10:30 PM. From my experience, people tend to prioritize the earlier showing of 9:00 PM, so no guarantees of course, but if you try to experience some attractions during that 9:00 PM showing then you might see some shorter lines!
You can see these times and more on the
Hours & Events Calendar on the Disneyland Resort website. It's a really helpful tool!
You have so many exciting things to enjoy for your upcoming trip, Emma. You're going to have so much fun! Thanks again for your question and have a great time.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
