What to Expect at the Disneyland Resort in August 2024!
The Disneyland Resort will experience quite a bit of change this month. In fact, there’s so much changing, that some may find it spooky. (I hope you enjoyed that not-so-subtle nod to the upcoming Halloween season.)
From the end of one celebration to the beginning of another–the resort is gearing up for quite a busy month. And you can prepare for this month’s craziness by reviewing our comprehensive list of everything you can expect around the Disneyland Resort in August 2024!
Pixar Fest Ends
The Pixar Fest–and all its exciting shows, experiences, and character encounters–will only continue through August 4th. The Pixar Fest debuted back in 2018, with this year’s celebration being its only other run in the resort. With that said, we’re crossing our fingers to see it return next year!
Halloween Season Begins
BOO! Did we scare you? If not, the starting date for the Halloween season at the Disneyland Resort might. Halloween time kicks off on August 23rd, followed by the Oogie Boogie Bash seasonal debut on August 25th.
The spooky season offers ride overlays, themed shows, frighteningly fun foods and drinks, Halloween decor, and much more!
Día de los Muertos Festivites Begin
Día de Los Muertos also begins on August 23rd and runs through November 2nd. This celebration includes Plaza de la Familia at Disney California Adventure, which has character experiences, crafts, and a memory wall.
D23 Day
D23: The Ultimate Fan Event takes place August 9th through August 11th in Anaheim, and the fun will also make its way to the Disneyland Resort!
The event’s first-ever kickoff party, D23 Day, occurs on August 8th at the Disneyland Resort. The resort will have a limited number of complimentary Mickey Ears, a themed cavalcade, special character encounters, a dance party, and more!
