Disney’s breathtaking Magic Happens Parade will soon have its last performances before being canceled indefinitely. Will the fan-favorite parade return?
Disneyland Park, Walt Disney’s dream come true, is home to countless memorable experiences.
From interactions with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends to a chance to ride some of the earliest rides to open at the Anaheim theme park, including Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan’s Flight, and more, the chance to live new and immersive experiences at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, enjoy delicious treats, and be delighted by unique entertainment offerings, there’s plenty of reasons that make Disneyland Resort the Happiest Place on Earth.
The Walt Disney Company is committed to improvement and innovation, striving to provide the best and most magical experiences for guests of all ages at its parks worldwide.
Disneyland Resort is currently celebrating the most spooktacular time of the year, with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their friends dressed in their Halloween costumes, frightfully fun decorations, seasonal overlays at some of the most popular rides and lands in the parks — including Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland Park and Haul-O-Ween in Radiator “Screams” at Cars Land — and the extremely popular Oogie Boogie Bash exclusive event.
Of course, seasonal celebrations bring all sorts of exclusive surprises and offerings to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, like the exclusive Frightfully Fun Parade at Oogie Boogie Bash — nearly ruined by a gross incident recently.
Although exciting, these seasonal offerings sometimes mean guests must say, “See ya real soon!” to some of their favorite rides and experiences. And the next big season at Disneyland won’t be the exception.
As of this article’s publishing, Disneyland has made it official that the beloved Magic Happens Parade will be suspended indefinitely after its final performances of the year, set to take place this Sunday, October 15, at 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
The fan-favorite parade will be suspended indefinitely to make way for the holiday spectacular A Christmas Fantasy Parade, set to return to Disneyland Park on November 10, 2023, and perform through January 7, 2024.
In the meantime, a small Halloween-themed cavalcade is reportedly planned to run twice daily through the end of October.

With a wave of his wand, Mickey Mouse leads a cavalcade of fabulous floats, whimsically costumed performers and popular Disney pals around the park and into your hearts—all while moving to a high-energy contemporary musical score that puts a spin on classic Disney hits. In addition, a stirring song co-composed by singer-songwriter Todrick Hall brings some of your favorite Disney tales to life like never before.
