Heya, Winnie! Thank you for parading on by planDisney with your question. Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is coming up in just two short months, so I want to be sure you have the info you need to have a magical visit!
If I had to pick my top two Disneyland Resort favorites—which is nearly impossible—I’d venture to say that parades and tasty eats are right up there towards the top of my list. The
Plaza Inn Dining Package with Parade Viewing combines the best of both worlds into one delightful—and delicious—event!
I have both great news and not-so-great news for you, Winnie. Plaza Inn is scheduled to be open in February and March, but unfortunately, no parades are scheduled during that time. That’s why you’re not finding any availability for this particular dining package.
I don’t want to rain on your parade, so perhaps some other options will bring back those sunny day vibes. Picture this, Winnie: You're strolling through Disney California Adventure Park, sunshine warming your face, and the air is filled with the most delicious aromas! That's th
e Food & Wine Festival—and it’ll be in full swing during your visit! Your love of parades also tells me that you enjoy live entertainment. Get ready to “drumroll please”... because a festival favorite is marching back this year:
Cookin' with the Jammin' Chefs! This dynamic percussion procession features musicians drumming on instruments made of pots and pans—and rumor has it that Clarabelle Cow, Daisy Duck, and Chip ‘n’ Dale may make appearances, too!
Speaking of our favorite Disney Parks pals, did you know that you can locate character appearances throughout
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park in the
Disneyland mobile app? Simply tap the map pin button on the bottom left of the app. Then, select “Characters” from the dropdown menu. You'll see exactly where your favorite friends are hanging out. Tap on any character icon to see when they'll be available for meet-and-greets.
Don't worry, Winnie, even without a traditional parade, there's still plenty of magic to be found at the Disneyland Resort! Keep your eyes peeled for those spontaneous moments of joy—they're like mini parades happening all around you!
