Hiya, Michelle!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for sending your
Disneyland Resort vacation planning question to us hEAR!
I see that you're planning a grand vacation with your Mouseketeers - how exciting! Make sure that you grab complimentary "First Visit" or "I'm Celebrating" celebration buttons for your whole crew. These can be found at City Hall in
Disneyland Park, the Chamber of Commerce in
Disney California Adventure Park, your
Disneyland Resort Hotel, or almost any
shop or
dining location.
This is a hard question to predict right now because at the current time we haven't hEARd what the plan is for the fall. Before the pandemic pause, there was almost always a daily parade no matter the season. However, post-reopening, normal activities rolled back out in waves, with
Fireworks,
Parades, and
Nighttime Spectaculars only returning just before the summer season. I imagine that we'll know more once the
Main Street Electrical Parade ends in a few weeks. You're more than welcome to check back after the 2nd of September once the
Halloween Time season is in full swing. Or, the
Entertainment Schedule, which goes 30-days out, should include your planned visit dates by the end of August.
There are plenty of other
opportunities to see our best Disney friends throughout the day; there are
Character Dining opportunities,
meet & greets, and
shows. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled as you never know who you'll see and where; I've seen Mary Poppins and Burt riding the
King Arthur Carousel, Princess Tiana on the
Mark Twain Riverboat, there might even drive-by character cavalcades on the famous
Main Street Vehicles or friends marching out with the Disneyland Band!
I do hope to have better news for you in a few weeks, Michelle. Feel free to stop back by or keep up with the
Disney Parks Blog, which is the best source of Disneyland news straight from Mickey himself. And be sure to follow the
official planDisney Panel Instagram account where we're sharing all kinds of tips and tricks! Thank you again for stopping by, and if you have any more Disneyland Resort vacation planning questions, We're All Ears!
