Here’s WHEN the Magic Happens Parade Leaves Disneyland and What Comes Next!
Disneyland’s transition to the holiday season will come with many changes.
Halloween offerings will disappear, holiday overlays will merrily take over select attractions, and festive entertainment will replace the shows currently taking place around the resort. With that being said, many of us were left wondering what would happen to the beloved Magic Happens parade…and now we know!
Magic Happens
We recently noted that starting October 16th, the Magic Happens parade no longer had showtimes listed on the Disneyland website. We now have confirmation that October 15th will indeed be the last day the parade will take place this season. Check out Scott Gustin’s post on X, providing this information:
Disneyland said the parade is ending to make way for the “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” – which starts on Nov. 10. In the meantime, a small Halloween-themed cavalcade is planned to run twice per day through the end of October: https://t.co/TDn1JzIZAm

The parade will be leaving Main Street, U.S.A. in order to make room for the “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” which will arrive on November 10th for the holiday season. But don’t worry–you can still catch some floats, thanks to the Halloween-themed cavalcade that will run twice daily through October.
But what does that mean for the Magic Happens parade? Well, according to Scott Gustin, we can expect to see the parade return at a later date:

The parade debuted in 2020, giving it only weeks of run time before it was shut down along with the rest of the resort for the COVID-19 pandemic. It took Disneyland quite a while to re-debut the parade following the reopening of the resort, so we’re relieved to hear that this won’t be the last time we can catch the parade in the park.
