Welcome back to planDisney, Amanda! You’ve chosen an especially magical time to visit the
Disneyland Resort, as you’ll be arriving during
Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration. But more on that in just a moment!
I took a peek at the
Daily Events Schedule, which lists showtimes for entertainment at Disneyland Resort, and it looks like the schedules for parades, fireworks, and other nighttime spectaculars haven’t been released yet for dates beyond Sunday, May 11th. That’s to be expected, as complete entertainment schedules typically roll out closer to the date of a visit. However, based on what’s currently being offered,
Fantasmic! is primarily scheduled for Friday through Sunday most weeks. I recommend checking the Daily Entertainment Schedule as your visit approaches for the most up-to-date information.
Now, let’s talk about all the incredible entertainment coming to Disneyland Resort this summer! Beginning May 16th, the 70th anniversary celebration kicks off with the return of two beloved nighttime spectaculars. First up in Disneyland, is
Wondrous Journeys, a breathtaking tribute to Disney’s animated classics, featuring an emotional score and stunning projection effects. Viewing locations include Sleeping Beauty Castle, “it’s a small world,” the Rivers of America, and Main Street, U.S.A.. In addition, the long-awaited return of
Paint the Night will dazzle guests with its glowing floats and high-energy soundtrack. I’m particularly excited for the return of the Frozen float, making its first appearance since the parade’s initial run. Both of these spectaculars are at the top of my must-see list!
Meanwhile, over at Disney California Adventure, the festivities continue with a special celebratory moment at Carthay Circle Theatre, featuring music, lights, and projection effects. You’ll also be able to catch the return of
Better Together, a vibrant parade starring up to 30 of your favorite Pixar Pals. And just in time for summer, a brand-new nighttime spectacular,
World of Color Happiness, will make its dazzling debut! With so much magic on the horizon, your visit is sure to be an unforgettable one.
Amanda, as you can see, Disneyland Resort will be brimming with entertainment options during your trip. If you have any other questions or need more tips to make the most of your visit, please stop by planDisney again. We’re always happy to help!
Wishing you a trip filled with wonder and magic,
