Top Reasons to Visit Disneyland in May 2024

Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, is currently hosting a unique experience for visitors with the convergence of two special festivals – Pixar Fest and Seasons of the Force. This rare occurrence allows guests to immerse themselves in the magic of both Pixar and Star Wars across the theme parks.

Pixar Fest, running until August 4th, features a plethora of Pixar-themed entertainment, including a dance party, a new daytime parade, and character meet-and-greets with beloved Pixar characters. The park is adorned with decorations, including a 25-foot tall sculpture of the iconic Pixar Ball outside Disneyland’s main gate. Additionally, guests can indulge in a variety of limited-time food offerings inspired by Pixar films, such as Mr. Potato Head-inspired churros.

On the other hand, Season of the Force, continuing through June 2nd, caters to Star Wars fans with themed attractions like Hyperspace Mountain and Star Wars-inspired food like the bantha burger. The festival offers a unique experience for fans of the iconic franchise.

Moreover, the return of the iconic nighttime show, “Fantasmic!,” on May 24th adds to the excitement of visiting Disneyland in May. The show, featuring costumed characters, stunts, and pyrotechnics, promises to captivate audiences once again after a hiatus.

For those looking to save money on their Disneyland visit, special ticket offers for Southern California residents and hotel discounts are available. However, visitors should be prepared for potential crowds, especially with the upcoming Grad Nite events and the expiration of certain ticket promotions in June. Despite the crowds, May proves to be an exciting time to experience the magic of Disneyland with the convergence of these two beloved festivals.
