anyway you won't want to miss any of
11:03
that as well as we move on through the
11:06
year the next thing chronologically will
11:08
be Disneyland's 70th celebration on May
11:10

11:12
we won't get into that some more and
11:14
we'll just move on into the summer this
11:16
is when Disney junr let's play party
11:18

11:29
encounters and activities that families
11:31
with young children will enjoy or just
11:34
families that have children at heart
11:37
anyway it's fun for everybody I've
11:38
enjoyed covering and seeing the
11:40
cavalcade in particular for the last
11:41
couple years that I've been covering it
11:43
so I think you will too as we move
11:45
further into the year the schedule well
11:47
looks a little bit more familiar as we
11:48
see some kind of things that we expect
11:51
to see every year like Halloween time
11:53
it's returning to the Disneyland Resort
11:55
on August 22nd and will continue through
11:57
October 31st no surprises there this
12:00
will see The Return of many favorite
12:02
Halloween experiences including the
12:03
Oogie Boogie bash and of course the
12:05
treats and decorations that come with
12:07
this spooky time of year at the
12:08
Disneyland Resort and you don't want to
12:10
miss it it's great specifics haven't
12:13
been announced yet for Halloween time
12:14
2025 but when they do we will let you
12:16
know and uh you won't want to miss it we
12:19
sure
12:20
won't also starting on August 22nd is
12:23
Plaza De La Familia and this will
12:25
continue through November November 2nd
12:29
uh this sees the story of Pixar's Coco
12:31
coming to life in Disney California
12:33
Adventure as it celebrates the
12:35
Everlasting bonds of family in the
12:37
spirit of Dia deos
12:39
mortos and we don't have a lot of
12:41
details about this yet either but expect
12:42
more to come out at a later date maybe
12:44
we'll see some returning entertainment
12:46
maybe we'll see some new entertainment
12:47
who knows it's always a special time of
12:49
year though as we come to the end of
12:51
2025 it'll be time to celebrate the
12:54
holidays at the Disneyland Resort which
12:55
we're celebrating now this will begin
12:58
November 14th and it will continue
13:00
through January 7th of 2026 so now we've
13:03
moved on into 2026 which means I guess
13:06
you you got a Bonus anyway there haven't
13:08
been any details released about next
13:10
year's holidays at the Disneyland Resort
13:12
which is completely unsurprising since
13:13
we're right in the middle of this year's
13:15
and we haven't even gotten a candle
13:16
light yet but when it happens we will
13:20
report on it and it's fairly safe to say
13:22
that there will be some returning
13:23
favorites during the time as well that
13:26
I'm sure you could guess anyway all of
13:29
it will be on daps magic.com during the
13:31
year and you won't want to miss any of
13:34
[Music]
13:42
it now we've covered Disneyland 70th
13:45
celebration offerings we've covered the
13:47
festivals the events and the limited
13:49
time celebrations but we're still not
13:52
done there are also the after hours
13:54
events that were announced for 2025 by
13:56
the Disneyland Resort this includes
13:58
Disneyland after Dark events it also
14:00
includes the Oogie bushy Oogie Boogie
14:02
bash events I have a hard time saying
14:04
that apparently this year there are four
14:06
Disneyland after dark events and uh
14:09
let's dig into them
14:10
[Music]
14:19
huh the first Disneyland after dark in
14:21
2025 will be sweethearts night it will
14:24
be offered on January 21st 23rd 28th and
14:28
Fe uary 4th 6th 9th 11th and 13th that's
14:32
a lot of days this event celebrates love
14:35
and will include a new cavalcade on Main
14:37
Street USA a royal ball encounters with
14:40
characters couples and Lively music it's
14:43
always a lot of fun tickets are going on
14:45
sale very soon for this event for
14:47
inspire magic key holders there's a
14:49
limited amount of pre-sale tickets that
14:51
are going on sale on December 10th the
14:54
following day more pre-sale tickets will

a.m. and they can be found at
15:13
disneyland.com
15:14
if you want to go to one of these get
15:17
your tickets early because they tend to
15:19
sell out fairly quickly if I had to make
15:20
a guess probably February 13th will be
15:24
the day that sells out the quickest just
15:25
because that's the closest to
15:26
Valentine's Day
15:30
next up is 90's Night this will be
15:31
offered only on two nights this year
15:33

more in a celebration of the Disney
15:40
films the music and the pop culture of
15:42
the 90s there will also be a thing I'm
15:45
looking forward to this called 0s on
15:47
parade this will have nods to post or
15:49
past parades including the Lion King
15:52
celebration and the Mulan parade just
15:55
