Tonight at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, host Neil Patrick Harris revealed that three favorite entertainment offerings will be returning to the Disneyland Resort next year.
Beginning in February 2027, a refreshed version of the nighttime spectacular created for Disneyland Park’s 50th birthday, Remember…Dreams Come True, will once again take to the skies over Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Also in February, across the esplanade at Disneyland California Adventure, an updated version of the original World of Color will be bringing Paradise Bay to life each night. The updates will bring scenes from beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios films like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King together with Pixar favorites including Finding Nemo and Toy Story. The journey is accompanied by a musical score featuring a special arrangement of the 1960s theme from Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, originally written by legendary Disney composers Richard B. and Robert M. Sherman.
Finally, in summer 2027, the Magic Happens parade will again make its way down Main Street, USA in Disneyland Park. Mickey Mouse and his friends lead the way in this high-energy daytime parade, filled with elaborate floats, colorful costumes, music, Disney characters, and plenty of performers along the route.
The parade blends classic Disney stories with newer favorites, moving from familiar fairy-tale moments to scenes inspired by more recent films. Guests will see nods to Walt Disney Animation Studios classics such as Cinderella and The Sword in the Stone, along with Pixar’s Coco. From a pumpkin transforming into a carriage to the legendary sword being pulled from the stone, Magic Happens brings some pretty memorable Disney moments right onto the parade route.
Be sure to follow along all weekend for more updates from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event!
