Disneyland Resort
Looks like “the Dip” was finally used to erase Toontown, as the land no longer appears on the MyDisneyExperience App. Don’t worry, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin is still set to return when the newly revamped area re-opens with the west coast debut of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (WDW’s Hollywood Studios already features this attraction). Permanent closures from the previous iteration of the land do include Gadget Coaster, Goofy’s Playhouse, and Donald’s Boat.
Disney’s California Adventure is currently hosting its Food and Wine Festival and the return of Soarin’ Over California (that orange smell!). Also worth mentioning: art pieces from the Festival of the Arts event have been popping up at both Off the Page in Hollywood Land and Wonderground Galleries at Downtown Disney. So here’s your chance at another shot at sold-out pieces from the East Coast fest like Ann Shen’s Beauty and the Beast inspired “Stories of Far Off Places” piece (which I spent two days trying to track down only to find unexpectedly at DCA during a recent trip).
Both parks have recently announced the return of select parades and Nighttime Spectaculars. Kicking off April 22, 2022 are the “Main Street Electrical Parade” (with a new float featuring Encanto faves) and the “Disneyland Forever” fireworks spectacular at Disneyland park. They’re joined by “World of Color” at Disney California Adventure park. “Fantasmic!” is slated to come back to the Rivers of America at Disneyland on May 28, 2022.
