Hi there, Katie!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I can't wait for you to share the magic of the Happiest Place on Earth with your two children. So much has happened at the Disneyland Resort since your last trip in 2012. You will find that Disney California Adventure Park has undergone the most changes with the additions of the exquisitely themed Cars Land, Pixar Pier, and Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! Plus, navigating the parks is now easier than ever with the official
Disneyland app. This handy app lets you have park maps, attraction wait times, and the ability to make dining reservations right at your fingertips. You can even make digital Disney FASTPASS selections from the app if you choose to add
Disney MaxPass to your ticket when you arrive. I think you will find these additions will make your trip so much more magical and efficient.
Like you I also love World of Color. It's my very favorite nighttime spectacular. This show currently is still a part of Disney California Adventure Park but is undergoing refurbishment until late 2018. In the meantime there are still plenty of nighttime entertainment options to enjoy. In Disney California Adventure Park you won't want to miss the amazing Paint the Night Parade with its millions of dazzling lights and familiar Characters. Over in Disneyland Park you can watch the iconic Fantasmic! and starting in September you can see the "Remember...Dreams Come True" Fireworks Spectacular which celebrates the history and magic of Disneyland.
I know you will have an amazing time with all these new experiences and entertainment options. Please return if you have any other questions as you plan your trip. See ya real soon!
