Hi Serena! Thanks so much for coming to see us here at planDisney! I also remember the last 24-hour event held at the Disneyland Resort. I believe it was for the 60th anniversary and, boy, was it a party! There is truly nothing like celebrating Disneyland's own birthday with fellow Guests and enthusiasts!
While I haven't seen any news of another 24-hour event for 2022, any announcements and Disneyland Resort news are sure to be found on the
Disney Parks Blog. I would give the Disney Parks Instagram a follow too!
Since reopening back in April of 2021, the Disneyland Resort has rolled out the magic in phases, and I'm so happy to say even more is on the way! Just announced are the returns of nighttime spectaculars Fantasmic!, World of Color, and the Disneyland Forever Fireworks, which we are expecting to see this spring. If you love Disneyland for its nostalgia, you will be just as excited as I am to see The Main Street Electrical Parade once again float down Main Street, U.S.A. for its 50th anniversary!
Special events are making a return as well -
Disneyland After Dark is back! While the first set of events - Sweethearts Nite, Villains Nite, and
Star Wars Nite - are currently sold out, I would keep my eyes peeled. Considering their popularity, I would toss a little pixie dust in the air in the hopes that will be more to come later this year.
Festivals have also made their way back into our Disneyland days. Currently, you can attend the
Lunar New Year festival at Disney California Adventure Park through February 13, 2022. Bounce along with Tigger to celebrate the Year of the Tiger. Enjoy the tastiest bites, live music,
Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession, and, for the first time ever, meet Raya from
Raya and the Last Dragon. Have a taste for the best food and wine California has to offer? Grab some friends and plan a visit during the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival which runs from March 4 - April 26, 2022. You'll get to experience culinary demonstrations from Disney chefs, delicious bites and sips, and even more live music. I've been told those chefs are sharing a few Disney secrets!
Serena, while I know you were dreaming of 24-hours at the Happiest Place on Earth, I hope you're able to find a bit of magic in some of the special events and festivals at the Disneyland Resort this year! If you have any more questions, feel free to
reach back out to me or any of my fellow panelists. We are always here for you at
planDisney.
Keep wishing on those stars,
Tara
