    Hello! I am traveling for my Birthday on August 20th and want to confirm if there will be fireworks? I just saw a note stating that fireworks will be only during the weekend starting August 22nd. Saludos

    Maria! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you reached out to us with your question and that I get to answer it - because we share the same birthday! Feliz cumpleaños a nosotros!

    What an exciting and very special visit you have in the works to the Happiest Place on Earth! I love celebrating my birthday immersed in the magic and I can understand why you're hoping to celebrate with fireworks on your special day, Maria. I am the same way!  

    To answer your question, fireworks in Disneyland Park may occur every night or weekends only, it just depends on the time of year! But according to the Daily Events Schedule on the Disneyland website, you are in for an extra magical visit because it looks like Wondrous Journeys with Fireworks is scheduled for August 20th! 

    That said, it's important to know that the schedule can change at any time and fireworks at Disneyland Park can also be cancelled last minute due to weather, unfortunately. I would keep an eye on the Daily Events Schedule as your visit gets closer, just to double check.

    My next tip, since you're celebrating, Maria, is to make sure you grab yourself a complimentary celebratory button - and wear it proudly! They can be found at City Hall on Main Street in Disneyland Park or the Chamber of Commerce on Buena Vista Street in California Adventure. You may also ask a Cast Member in any of the shops, too, and they'll usually be able to point you in the right direction to find yourself a celebratory button. Get ready for lots of "Happy birthdays!" (It's also fun to spot our other August 20th Birthday People!)

    Well, Maria, I hope this has been helpful for you in your planning, and that you have the most magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. But, more than that, I sincerely wish you the happiest of celebrations. If you have any other questions or would like some additional tips on celebrations in Disneyland, like where my favorite dining locations are for a special occasion and how to make reservations, don't hesitate to reach out to me anytime! I'm happy to help and always love a party - especially for those on August 20th!

    Warmest birthday wishes,
    McCayla

Meet the Panelist: McCayla, Washington

Hello from the Pacific Northwest! I'm McCayla, a wife and mom dreaming of adventure in the great wide somewhere, yet also completely content watching Toy Story from the couch. My love of Disneyland began as a little girl on Peter Pan's Flight and only grows with each visit. But even when I'm not physically at the Happiest Place on Earth, I truly feel that same joy when I can help others (YOU!) experience the magic of Disneyland Resort too.
