Today is an exciting day for Disney fans on the west coast. After a 3-year hiatus, the Magic Happens Parade has returned to Disneyland!
“Magic Happens” Parade
This parade only got to see the light of day for a couple of weeks before the pandemic forced its closure. Guests can catch performances at Disneyland Park today at 3:30pm and 6:30pm.

Returning To Disneyland
The Orange County Register reports that over half of the approximately 100 performers in the “Magic Happens” parade were part of the original group. The news outlet caught up with one of the entertainers to see what she had to say about coming back.

Jenn Acevedo shares, “it feels new and the same. It’s a weird feeling. It doesn’t feel like it was three years ago.”
Acevedo expected the “Magic Happens” parade to return, but was surprised at how long it took. She adds, “it feels like a dream. I get to come back and relive the opening again.”
