This has the Disneyland Band marching out from Sleeping Beauty Castle for a quick performance in front the castle where they are joined by Mickey Mouse and friends.

It’s a great opportunity to hear the Disneyland Band and also see a bunch of Disney characters together!
4. World of Color – ONE
Number four on our list is World of Color – One. World of Color – ONE is the newest iteration of the incredible nighttime spectacular in Disney California Adventure in Paradise Bay. This show is about how a single ripple can generate a wave of change. It has some heartfelt moments, some awesome action moments, and a very healthy dose of Disney magic as well. This is a show that really is incredible to watch and experience. This is a show that is best to get a showpass for via the Disneyland app. There are standby opportunities but utilizing the virtual queue in the Disneyland app makes things easier. This show was presented as part of the Disney100 celebration that kicked off at the Disneyland Resort earlier this year.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off!
In the third spot on the list, the Guardians of the Galaxy dance your way over to Disney California Adventure.

It has been offered for quite some time at Avengers Campus but with the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Mantis has stepped in to join the show where Gamora generally would be. This is an absolutely charming addition to the show that is quirky, hilarious, and a whole lot of fun. Catch a performance of this show soon while Mantis is still a part of the cast! It isn’t known if she is a permanent part of the show or a limited time addition.
2. Magic Happens
In second place is the popular Magic Happens parade at Disneyland. Magic Happens is the energetic parade that through Disneyland daily.
