Disneyland has a rotating calendar of special, seasonal events that it runs through all year. With winter officially coming to an end, the winter-themed events, such as the Lunar New Year celebrations or Sweethearts’ Nite have come to an end as well.
That said, there are many new special events about to take off at Disneyland especially tailored for the springtime. Some old favorites will return, while others will be brand new events debuting for the first time. At Mickey Visit, we cover the latest Disney news, like the four new attractions announced at Disneyland and the construction milestone for the new roller coaster at Hollywood Studios. You can see all the latest news here.
