After years of anticipation, a beloved offering is returning to Disneyland Resort this weekend!
Since Disneyland Resort reopened, Guests have seen several Park offerings slowly going back to normal, from nighttime shows to character meet and greets and even parking trams. However, one notable and highly anticipated offering was yet to return to the Park.
Many Guests were eagerly expecting to see the Red Car Trolley make its way across Disney California Adventure once more. While we reported that this beloved offering would return this summer, an official date was not announced until recently.
Disneyland (@disneyland) made the official announcement through their Instagram account, commenting:
We’re “on track” to welcome you back aboard the Red Car Trolley – returning this Sunday, July 17th, to Disney California Adventure Park. Drop a ‼️ if you’re excited to climb aboard again!
