Disneyland Calendar of Events 2023

Are you planning a Disneyland vacation in 2023? We’ve collected up all the holidays, festivals, and events happening at Disneyland to help you plan better. If you’re traveling to Disneyland in 2023 get ready for extra magic! Here is the Disneyland Calendar of Events to help you get started and plan the best time to visit Disneyland this year. 

DISNEYLAND 2023 CALENDAR

Of all the Disney Parks, Disneyland is by far the one that is able to host last-minute events. But that doesn’t stop us from trying to nail down all the important dates throughout the year. This is most helpful for out-of-state Disneyland travelers who may not have the ease of visiting anytime. We’ve broken this down by month so that you can see what dates which events are happening, how holidays fall into the mix, and be aware. Getting a handle on what will be happening while you’re on vacation, can help you plan better. Let’s dive in. Note: Events labeled TENTATIVE TBD have not yet been formally announced. Date ranges are based on annual historical data. As Official Dates from Disneyland are confirmed this post will be updated. Check out What’s New at Disneyland in 2023 for more details.
