D23 Round Up: Disneyland Resort
Disneyland Park
A big change is coming to Disneyland Park, as Tomorrowland is set for a complete reimagining. Next year, you can also look forward to the return of a former nighttime spectacular and parade.
Remember… Dreams Come True
Remember… Dreams Come True is coming back to Disneyland! This nighttime spectacular first debuted in 2005 for Disneyland’s 50th anniversary and ran until 2009. It returned for limited runs in 2010, 2017, and 2018, and now it’s set to return again in February next year.
This time, the show will feature a refreshed look, with new projections lighting up Rivers of America, It’s a Small World, and Main Street.
Magic Happens Parade
The Magic Happens parade is making a magical comeback in the summer of 2027! The parade debuted in 2020 as part of Disneyland’s 60th anniversary celebrations. It closed early due to COVID and returned in 2023 before officially ending in 2024.
The parade brings together stunning floats, music and artistic costumes along with some of your favourite Disney characters.
Tomorrowland Reimagined
There’s a great big beautiful Tomorrowland coming to Disneyland! Disney have announced that Tomorrowland will be reimagined with new attractions and more open spaces.
They’ve said the plans for Tomorrowland will restore the spirit, optimism, innovation and possibility that inspired Walt to create “a vista into a world of wondrous ideas”
Disney California Adventure Park
World of Color
World of Colour first debuted at Disney California Adventure seventeen years ago. Since then, it has come back twice, in 2023 and 2025, and is scheduled to return again next year.
The latest version invites you on a creative journey through Walt Disney and Pixar Studios, with beloved favourites like The Lion King and Finding Nemo.
Coco Attraction
The story continues two years after the first Coco movie, inviting you to join Miguel on a boat journey through his memories of the Land of the Dead. The attraction is a heartfelt celebration of music, Mexican culture, and the love of family across generations.
A second Coco movie is on the way, so you can look forward to seeing little details from the upcoming movie included in the ride too.
The attraction will also feature a bit of Disney magic as guests at D23 were able to write down their favourite Disneyland memory on a card, which will then be used to plant a tree that’ll appear in the attraction.
Avengers Campus
The Avengers Campus is getting bigger! The land will nearly double in size with two brand-new attractions. Construction is already underway, and both rides are expected to open in 2028.
Infinity Defence
The first attraction is Infinity Defence, which lets you step into the action as a new recruit tasked with reassembling the Avengers to stop Thanos. Before your mission begins, you’ll get a briefing from Ms. Marvel played by Iman Vellani and she’s not the only familiar face reprising their role.
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Anthony Mackie), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) will also appear in the attraction.
You’ll get to visit iconic locations like Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City, joining your favourite heroes in an epic battle. The ride combines screens and physical sets to put you in the heart of the action as you face off against Thanos.
Stark Flight Lab
This is your chance to train like a flying Avenger. You’ll enter a two-person gyro-kinetic pod that will move around a track before a giant robot arm picks you up and spins you around in a simulated test flight.
Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Anthony Mackie) all appear in the attraction as your flight instructors.
