The Disneyland Resort is preparing for the busy summer season with a mix of new experiences, returning favorites, ongoing construction, and a nearby emergency situation. Authorities are managing a hazardous chemical incident in Garden Grove involving an unstable storage tank of methyl methacrylate, leading to evacuation orders for tens of thousands of residents in nearby cities. Despite the emergency, Disneyland remains outside the evacuation zone and continues normal operations while monitoring the situation closely.
On the attraction front, guests can now experience The Mandalorian and Grogu aboard a new Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run mission with updated engineer roles. Fresh construction walls in California Adventure hint at an upcoming new attraction, while other areas like Tomorrowland and New Orleans Square see ongoing refurbishments. The resort also celebrates 15 years of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar with a special anniversary mug release.
Patriotic decorations and events mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, including a visit from over 100 Sailors and Marines and a new Soarin’ Across America overlay arriving in California Adventure. Covered dining areas are expanding to provide more comfort for guests, especially with potential summer rain. Graduation season brings large groups of teens to the parks, and ticket prices will rise after June, making early visits more affordable.
