Greetings, Noelle, and welcome to planDisney! Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner, so let's make sure you're set for a smooth arrival.
It sounds like entertainment is a priority for you, Noelle, and I know just where to start. Head to the
Hours & Events Calendar to see a list of scheduled nighttime spectaculars, parades, atmosphere entertainment, and more. It's updated on a rolling basis to include details as far as six weeks in advance. Just change the date to see relevant information!
In early August, you'll have a chance to enjoy the
70th Anniversary entertainment before it sunsets to make way for
Halloween Time. That includes the Celebrate Happy Cavalcade, Paint the Night, and Wondrous Journeys. Don't miss these incredible shows!
Fantasmic! and fireworks are typically offered nightly in the summer (weather permitting) until mid-August, when adjustments are made for Halloween Time.
On the calendar, you'll discover other fun, too, such as Stitch's Interplanetary Beach Party Blast and Bluey's Best Day Ever!
Once
Halloween Time begins on August 21, 2026, you'll notice new entertainment offerings on the schedule, like
Halloween Screams. There will also be festive decorations around the Resort, seasonal versions of a few popular attractions, Characters dressed up in special outfits, and more. It's a great time of the year to visit.
Remember that both a ticket and a
theme park reservation are required to enter a park. Make sure you have both ahead of the day you'd like to visit. You can make a reservation while purchasing your ticket
from the Disneyland website, and you can modify that date if you'd like to switch to another available day. Reservations can be managed from either the website or the
Disneyland mobile app.
Noelle, I hope this information sprinkled some pixie dust on your plans Please let us know if you think of any other questions. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
