With so much construction happening around Disney World and Disneyland Resort, not to mention what’s all happening outside of the parks like D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event later this year, it feels like there’s at least once a month we’re saying there’s something BIG to look out for. Why? Well, because it’s the truth!

Disney California Adventure

If you’re planning a trip out to California this summer to visit Disneyland, you need to know that there are lots of exciting events on the way! However, August 27th in particular will be one to look out for — here’s why!

In late April, there was a State of the City Address to the City of Anaheim, and the President of Disneyland, Jill Estorino, spoke on what’s coming to Disneyland this summer season. When she was asked about her main focus in Disneyland, she mentioned it’s the leadership team, Cast Members, and the community, which helped her segue into the opportunities and experiences coming to potential guests and community members this summer.

She then went on to mention that while they’re wrapping up the 70th Anniversary celebration, there are multiple new additions to look forward to this summer, such as the new “Bluey’s Best Day Ever!” show, the changes coming to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run on May 22nd, and the Soarin’ Across America overlay coming on May 26th.

That’s not all, though! Jill Estorino went on to mention how they’re “excited to bring more pixie dust back” with the Happiest Day in Anaheim event on August 27th! While we’re waiting to hear more details, we do know that the plan is to bring community activation across the entire city.

Jill described this as special news for the 71st Anniversary of Disneyland Resort, but there’s one more surprise she announced. Anaheim residents will be able to enjoy specially priced tickets with the Anaheim Resident Ticket offer returning, with tickets starting at just $71!
