Hey there, Akiko! Welcome to planDisney! Adventure is out there, and it sounds like you're heading for a wonderful one this summer at the Disneyland Resort! I'm so excited to help you map out all the fun for your upcoming trip.
You have fantastic taste in parades! The Magic Happens parade is truly one of the most enchanting and sensational spectacles at the Disneyland Resort. From Moana and her magnificent wave to the grand finale with Sleeping Beauty, it's a core memory for so many of us. But unfortunately, Akiko, this incredible parade is currently taking a magical intermission. Because of this, it isn't on the entertainment schedule for this summer. But don't you worry your Mickey Ears! The fantastic
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration is happening right now, and the party is bigger than a hug from Baymax! This celebration brings some amazing entertainment you won't want to miss.
If you love a dazzling parade, Akiko, I have a feeling the
Paint the Night parade will light up your world! It's an absolute whirlwind of color with more than a million brilliant lights. It’s pure, sparkling magic after the sun goes down! And for a dose of pure joy during the day, you can't beat the
Celebrate Happy Cavalcade! It’s a total burst of fun with Mickey, Minnie, and some other beloved friends, like Duffy and ShellieMay! Just a heads-up: the theme song, Celebrate Happy, by the Jonas Brothers will have you humming all day long!
The fun doesn't stop there! While you might feel a little bummed about Magic Happens being on a break, I have a hunch you'll discover a whole new world of favorites. Over at Disney California Adventure Park,
Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! is a vibrant and energetic daytime parade that will have you dancing in the streets with friends from Turning Red and Soul. And when night falls, the new
World of Color Happiness! show paints the water and night sky with breathtaking scenes from cherished films like Encanto and A Goofy Movie.
Here’s a pro tip, Akiko: Be sure to download the
Disneyland mobile app before you arrive. You can check the latest showtimes and even use the mobile food and beverage ordering feature to try some of the special
70th Celebration treats. I have my eyes on that lemon chiffon pretzel for my next visit!
And don't forget to look up at the sky!
Wondrous Journeys is a phenomenal evening show, and you can never go wrong with the iconic nighttime spectacular,
Fantasmic! Seeing Mickey Mouse use his incredible imagination to defeat all those Disney Villains on the Rivers of America is an absolute must-do. It’s a perfect grand finale to a magical day.
Akiko, your summer trip is going to be filled with wonder and excitement. While the Magic Happens parade may be on pause, there's a whole new chapter of enchantment waiting for you to discover! If you have any more questions, you know where to find us. We're always here to help you plan the most magical trip ever!
