Even though we are only a couple of weeks into the Halloween Season at the parks, Disneyland has already announced The Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. The festivities will return November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027. World of Color – Season of Light will return to Disney California Adventure after sitting out last year for the Disneyland 70th anniversary celebration.

Seasonal attraction overlays will also return, including “it’s a small world” Holiday, Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl, and Mater’s Jingle Jamboree. – https://www.micechat.com/443516-disneyland-update-holiday-whiplash-disneylandforward-disney-downsizing/
The Main Street Cinema has reopened at Disneyland following a refurbishment, now showing modern Mickey Mouse cartoons on all six screens. On the Disneyland Railroad, Primeval World has also reopened after more than two months of refurbishment, with restored dinosaur figures and updated lighting. The Grand Canyon Diorama, which comes just before Primeval World, remains closed behind construction walls, and Disney has not announced a reopening date for that section. Meanwhile over at DCA, The Silly symphony Swings has also reopened after a major refurbishment that began in April. – https://www.micechat.com/443516-disneyland-update-holiday-whiplash-disneylandforward-disney-downsizing/ https://wdwnt.com/2026/08/silly-symphony-swings-reopens-at-disney-california-adventure-after-lengthy-refurbishment/?fbclid=PAdGRleAUEAuJwZG9mAmZkaWQWUNnGJmEp5wCd-3R7cHcQ8pTDMViMC2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABpx5hnUBU7LJUsGWfq_FZ5RRX1zRUIw2qvtm8DSFlm80fDtu_ctUuXZCXhHbs_aem_E3aNY3tKwXA-Fgp9wXN1Zw
