Welcome, Iza!
We love seeing Guests return to planDisney, so thank you for stopping by! It looks like you are heading to the Happiest Place on Earth in just a few weeks. There's truly nothing like experiencing the parks during that festive in-between time just after the
holidays when the décor is still sparkling, the treats are extra sweet, and Mickey, Minnie, and friends are all dressed up for the season! It's a great question to ask about seasonal entertainment, especially when you're hoping to catch something as special as
Mirabel's Gifts of the Season!
Encanto is one of my absolute favorite movies as well, and I know how special and festive it is when California Adventure celebrates the Madrigal Family! Currently, it looks like Mirabel's Gifts of the Season only performs on weekdays during the holiday season. I took a look at the
Entertainment Schedule myself for your dates, and it does look like the final show is scheduled for January 2nd, just ahead of your arrival. Iza, I'm so sorry to share that less-than-pixie-dusted news! The Entertainment Schedule is always subject to change, so while it is unlikely, it doesn't hurt to check the schedule when you arrive at the parks for your visit, and feel free to ask a Cast Member as well.
With the holiday festivities extended to January 7th, you will get to enjoy quite a bit of the holly jolly, especially when it comes to your favorite characters (and some fan-favorite attractions) with some extra holiday touches! While you are at California Adventure, make time to explore Cars Land, especially once the sun sets! Dance the night away on
Luigi's Joy to the Whirl or take a spin on
Mater's Jingle Jamboree. My family loves grabbing a
Sip and Savor Pass to enjoy all of the holiday treats and sweets of
Disney Festival of the Holidays. It's the perfect way to snack your way through the magic. You can even get a sneak peek of the offerings by checking out the
Disney Parks Blog Foodie Guide!
Iza, I know this wasn't what you were hoping to hear, but I do hope it's been helpful in your planning. Sometimes Mirabel has been known to meet with Guests at Disneyland Park, so it is worth checking which
characters plan to be out and about once you arrive at the park. You can head into the Disneyland App and tap the pinpoint icon to pull up the map. Along the top, scroll to the "Characters" filter, and it will tell you which friends will be out that day, when, and where you can find them. I will send a little pixie dust your way in the hope that you get a moment with Mirabel! No matter how you spend your time, your visit will be filled with magic and unforgettable memories! If you have any more questions, we are always here for you at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
