Welcome back to planDisney, Ian!
Ah, the
Matterhorn Bobsleds; a true Disneyland classic! It’s one of my favorite attractions in the park, and earlier this year, I even shared a
brief write-up on its fascinating history here on the site. From its thrilling dips and turns to the ever-watchful Yeti, this ride is an absolute must for any adventurer.
I took a look at the
Daily Events Schedule, which lists attraction closures and other park updates, and unfortunately, the calendar currently only extends through May 13th. Since ride schedules are typically posted about six weeks in advance, I highly recommend checking back on Tuesday, April 8th, for the earliest status update on the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Just a quick reminder that attraction availability is always subject to change, so I suggest keeping an eye on the Theme Park Hours & Information page as your visit approaches. I know how much this ride means to fellow thrill-seekers like you, so I’m hoping right along with you that the Yeti will be ready to welcome Guests when you arrive!
Now, if the Matterhorn happens to be unavailable during your visit, don’t worry! There’s no shortage of heart-pounding excitement at Disneyland! Over in Tomorrowland,
Space Mountain will have you zooming through the cosmos at warp speed. If you’re a Star Wars fan, Galaxy’s Edge is packed with high-stakes adventures. You can step into the cockpit of the
Millennium Falcon in Smugglers Run or join the Resistance to take on the First Order in the groundbreaking
Rise of the Resistance. And, of course, no thrill ride lineup would be complete without experiencing the wildest ride in the wilderness,
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!
Speaking of excitement, Ian, your visit is perfectly timed for a major celebration! Starting May 16th, Disneyland will kick off its 70th Anniversary Celebration, bringing back beloved entertainment and dazzling new experiences. The breathtaking
Wondrous Journeys nighttime spectacular will once again light up the skies over Sleeping Beauty Castle with stunning animation, music, and fireworks. Over on Main Street, U.S.A., the high-energy
Paint the Night parade will return, glowing with thousands of twinkling lights and fan-favorite characters. And at Disney California Adventure Park, Carthay Circle Theatre will host a special musical moment with lights and projections, plus the return of the Better Together parade, starring up to 30 Pixar Pals, including some rarely seen friends! And just in time for summer, World of Color Happiness! will debut at Paradise Bay, bringing even more magic to the water in a mesmerizing display.
No matter how you choose to adventure, Ian, your Disneyland visit is bound to be legendary. If you have any more questions while planning your trip, we’d love to see you again here at planDisney.
Wishing you a thrilling and magical visit!
