Disneyland Resort announced return dates for its nighttime shows plus a few new surprises

On April 22, 2022, the Main Street Electrical Parade and Disneyland Forever fireworks will return to Disneyland Park and World of Color will return to Disney California Adventure Park. Fantasmic! will return to Disneyland park on May 28, 2022.

The Main Street Electrical Parade will be celebrating its 50th anniversary and to honor this milestone the Disney team is adding an all-new enchanted grand finale that celebrates the theme of togetherness.

Inspired by both the original design of Main Street Electrical Parade” floats and the art style on “it’s a small world,” the new grand finale brings to life more than a dozen Disney Animation and Pixar stories. These stories will be interpreted in thousands of sparkling lights and electro-magnetic music with unique representations of beloved characters as animated dolls.

Stories will include Encanto, The Jungle Book, Raya and the Last Dragon, Aladdin, Coco, Mulan, Brave, The Princess and the Frog and more. 

When Disneyland Forever returns on April 22 it will only run weekends (Friday through Sunday). Mickey’s Mix Magic will present its projections-only show during the week (Monday through Thursday) until late spring. Disneyland Forever fireworks will then run nightly in the summer. World of Color and Fantasmic! will return to their regular schedule when they reopen.
