Mid March nightly entertainment?

[deedubb]

Have FOMO for the 70th but it would only be possible to go mid-March. We have only been in the summer when fireworks are nightly, but I know other times of the year, they are only on the weekends. This trip would really only be for PTN, Wondrous Journeys and WOC. Would these all show nightly in March? For those who were there last month, did they show fireworks every night?

Last year we went March 13-16 and entertainment was weekends only (the parade at the time was daily). This year we went March 17-20 and they were doing nightly entertainment the last two weeks of the month (presumably for Spring Break). With Easter a couple weeks earlier next week I'm not sure what that will do to the entertainment schedule.

World of Color is nightly year round.

It is really a roll of the dice if Fireworks will be nightly or only weekends. March being Spring Break season, I think it would be determined by local schools Spring Break schedule. The projections will likely run nightly without Pyro during the week when fireworks can not be shown.

I can't see a reason they wouldn't have at least one showing of Paint the Night during the week, since it is a key element of the 70th celebration but anything is possible with Disney.

The last two years they have done 1-2 weeks of nightly entertainment in March. I would look at those dates and use them as a guide for next year. Things are always subject to change.

I agree the past is usually a good predictor of the future. Better yet, I would look at Orange County and LA County school districts (I assume there are several in each county) academic calendars for 2025/2026. I assume this is what Disneyland uses for their scheduling of park hours and entertainment.

I actually think March spring break is more common in other parts of the country and not so much in California. I'm sure there are some, but it seems like April is more common. That's the way it was when I grew up in the Bay Area (ski week in Feb and spring break around Easter in April).

I'm assuming the March entertainment schedule has more to do with out of town tourists traveling in, which is a coveted demographic for Disney.

Believe Keys are blocked out March 29-April 5, and Easter is April 5. Fireworks for sure will be scheduled that week. I think maybe Anaheim schools have March 23-27 off, so there might be fireworks that week too.

I did just look at Orange County School district calendar for this year and schools were out for Spring Break 17-21 which seems to be during the period they had nightly fireworks & Fantasmic.

Thanks. That would be around the time we would be going next year. Decided to book our flights so we are committed now, regardless of whether fireworks will be nightly!

There are 28 school districts in Orange County. Were you looking at Orange Unified?

I just searched Orange County unified. I assumed that there would be multiple districts. But a Quick Look at a few others they all seem to have Spring Break the 2 weeks that Disneyland had weekday entertainment.

I think you might have looked at Orange County Unified in Florida. Their spring break was March 17-21 this year.

Possible. But as I said I looked at a few others and they too had Spring Break during those two weeks. So I think my advice to check local school districts school calendar to help predict daily entertainment holds.
