The wait is over! Disney announces the return of World of Color, Fantasmic! and other Guest favorites at Disneyland

Disney has just announced the Spring 2022 return of the Main Street Electrical Parade, as well as Fantasmic!, “World of Color,” and “Disneyland Forever” at the Disneyland Resort in California.

At the Destination D23 convention at Walt Disney World last month, the return of several Guest-favorite experiences at Walt Disney World was announced, and now Disneyland is getting many of the same kinds of exciting surprises!

In addition to the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade, Fantasmic! and “World of Color,” Disneyland will also enjoy the return of “Celebrate Gospel!” and “Tale of the Lion King.”

The 2022 return of “Celebrate Gospel!” will move to the Fantasyland Theater at Disneyland Park. Guests will have their spirits lifted by the sounds of amazing choir performances. “Celebrate Gospel!” will take place during select days during February 2022.

“Tale of the Lion King” returns to Disneyland in Spring 2022. The Fantasyland Theater will also host this exciting event. “Tale of the Lion King” is an adaptation of Disney’s The Lion King, and it was a huge hit with Disneyland fans at Disney California Adventure Park when it debuted in 2019. Storytellers of the Pride Lands breathe life into the story of Simba and his journey to take his rightful place as King. “Tale of the Lion King” is a theater-style show featuring live music and dance as well.

The Guest-favorite parade will celebrate its 50th anniversary after returning to Disneyland Park. Can’t you hear the music and see the dazzling lights right now?! All our favorite parts of the parade will return as well, including Elliot the Dragon from Pete’s Dragon, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Alice from Alice in WonderlandCinderella, and Peter Pan, among others.

Fantasmic! also returns to Disneyland at the Rivers of America. Watch as Mickey battles fantastical images like those in Fantasia, The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, and other Disney films. Fantasmic! has enjoyed an almost 30-year run at Disneyland, making it the longest-running nighttime show at the California Disney Park.

“World of Color” will also return to the Anaheim parks next year at Paradise Bay at Disney California Adventure Park. The nighttime event features a combination of music, fire, fog, and laser effects, with Disney animation projected on an immense screen of water. The colors are amazing. The soundtrack is amazing. Watch as Disney and PIXAR films come to life!
