Hi Dulce,
Thank you for visiting planDisney. Raya is such an amazing character! She is brave, smart, and kind—traits that anyone can admire. I completely understand why you would want to see her in person.
Currently, we do not have a list of characters that will be appearing during the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration. Raya has been spotted at California Adventure in the past for the Lunar New Year Celebration. However, she is not currently listed as a character at either park. I like to check the Disneyland app periodically to see what characters are available to see. When looking at the park map, you can scroll across the top to see character locations and times. Click “Show List” near the bottom right of the screen to see a list of all available characters.
Disney has already outlined a lot of cool things to anticipate for the anniversary celebration. There will be the return of fan-favorite parades
Paint the Night at Disneyland this year, and the
Better Together parade at California Adventure. The fireworks show
Wondrous Journeys will also be returning to Disneyland. I am looking forward to all these shows returning, my personal favorite is the
Better Together parade! There will be a new World of Color show called
World of Color: Happiness!. There is lots to look forward to for the 70th anniversary. Follow the
Disney Parks Blog for more information and updates.
Tip: One of my fellow panelists had a great recommendation. If you are also visiting California Adventure, stop by the
Animation Academy in Hollywood Land. There you can learn to draw different Disney characters. Check the schedule to see if there are any classes drawing characters from Raya and the Last Dragon that are offered.
I hope this information is helpful, Dulce. I really hope that Raya will come back soon! Please feel free to write back to me or my fellow panelist if you have any more questions.
Wishing you the best!
