Welcome Dayna!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm so excited your trip is just around the corner! Unfortunately, there are no parades or fireworks at the Disneyland Resort scheduled during your trip due to refurbishments taking place. You can always check the
Daily Events Schedule online or the entertainment schedule on the Disneyland App before and during your trip to check for any changes. Have no fear, because there are still plenty of fun and exciting ways to spend your evenings at the Disneyland Resort.
There are two very impressive nighttime spectaculars to see:
World of Color at Disney California Adventure Park and
Fantasmic! at Disneyland Park. World of Color is my very favorite show, because it showcases one of a kind water projections with music and scenes from Disney movies. It's an amazing achievement unlike anything I have ever seen! Over at Disneyland Park, Fantasmic! is a family favorite that takes you inside Mickey Mouse's imagination where the forces of good and evil battle to music and pyrotechnic effects with many characters. Both of these experiences have reserved viewing areas that you may access with a FASTPASS. Just head to the Fantasmic! FASTPASS distribution located in Frontierland or the World of Color FASTPASS distribution next to The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure.
Also make sure to check out some attractions that are extra-special in the evenings, for example, Radiator Springs Racers with the beautiful glowing lights of Ornament Valley or the majestic Matterhorn Bobsleds.
I hope this helps, and I just know you are going to have a magical visit!
