Today, Disneyland Resort announced the return of a beloved experience to Disney California Adventure.
According to Nexstar theme park reporter Scott Gustin, the infamous red car trolley will return to Southern California this summer. He wrote:

Fans have been asking for the trolley’s return ever since it made a brief appearance for the holidays at Disney California Adventure in 2020. It was originally taken away in April 2019 to make space for construction of the Avengers Campus, which opened in 2021.
According to Orange County Register, the “Red Car News Boys” show that was canceled in 2019 won’t return with the trolley.
Though Disney hasn’t announced a specific date for the trolley’s return, Inside the Magic will keep fans updated on when the attraction will return.
