2023 is shaping up to be quite the year for Disney Parks and Resorts! With new attraction openings like TRON Lightcycle / Run in the Magic Kingdom and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disneyland’s newly reimagined Toontown.
This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company, and while Disney100 celebrations will take place at theme parks and Resorts around the world (and in the comfort of home) the festivities will largely focus on Disneyland Park.

Included in the upcoming festivities is a brand new and highly anticipated nighttime fireworks spectacular for Disneyland Park called Wondrous Journeys. The show debuts this Friday, January 27, 2023, at Disneyland, during the kickoff to the Disney100 celebrations.
The new show will be the first in Disney Park history to feature a new character flying over Guests, replacing Tinker Bell, when Baymax from Big Hero 6 (2014) takes flight. But that isn’t all Guests have to look forward to with the new fireworks.
Disneyland released additional details about Wondrous Journeys, the new spectacular that debuts on Jan. 27.
