Wonderous Journeys: New Nighttime Spectacular Coming to Disneyland

The Disney100 celebration at Disneyland Resort begins on January 27, 2023. It’s all kicking off with Wondrous Journeys, a brand-new nighttime spectacular, which will premiere at the Disneyland Resort as part of the celebration.

This all-new nighttime spectacular will celebrate 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios in an experience that ignites the dreamer in all of us. “Wondrous Journeys” will feature nods to every film released by the iconic studio over the past century, with music, characters and special moments from favorite stories including “Encanto,” (depicted above), “Hercules,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Peter Pan,” “Frozen,” “Treasure Planet,” “Big Hero 6,” “Moana,” and more.

The spectacular will also feature an original new song, “It’s Wondrous,” that promises to capture your heart and spark your imagination. 

State-of-the-art projection effects will surround you with blank pieces of paper, pencil sketches, and splashes of color, as the artistry of animators breathe life into beloved characters from Mickey Mouse and Bambi to Ariel and Mirabel. And in a thrilling moment of heroism, Baymax soars high above Sleeping Beauty Castle inspiring us all to fight for our dreams.

Of course, no nighttime spectacular would be complete without fireworks. On select nights, Wondrous Journeys will become bigger and grander with the addition of fireworks in the skies above Disneyland. 

So, make plans to catch Wondrous Journeys when it premieres on January 27, 2023 – or another evening during the Disney100 celebrations at Disneyland Resort!
