Disneyland Resort's Entertainment Lineup: Shows Worth Planning Around

Disney Parks announced an array of spectacular shows and performances, including the return of the "Magic Happens" parade at Disneyland Park from Feb. 2. From character encounters to nighttime spectaculars, the resort offers a myriad of entertainment for all ages.

Highlights at Disneyland Park include Mickey's Mix Magic, the Magic Happens Parade, Wondrous Journeys, and the return of Fantasmic! with thrilling new additions. At Disney California Adventure Park, enjoy the debut of Better Together-A Pixar Pals Celebration! on April 26, along with attractions like Disney Junior Dance Party!, The Amazing Spider-Man, Warriors of Wakanda, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off.

Live music enthusiasts can relish performances by the Disneyland Band, Dapper Dans quartet, Straw Hatters, Five & Dime jazz combo, and more. Seasonal nighttime spectaculars like "Halloween Screams" and "Believe...in Holiday Magic" add extra magic during special events.

Don't miss out on the extraordinary entertainment beyond the parks, with nightly musical performances at the Downtown Disney Live! stage and seasonal delights at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort.

These shows are the ones guests remember long after the trip — the parade music, the castle lights, the fireworks over the castle.
