In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Disney California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney District and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa in 2026, Disneyland Resort announced new, limited-time attractions, food, merchandise and more launching Feb. 6 to honor the milestone.
Highlights of the limited-time offerings include:
- The fan-favorite Soarin’ Over California – one of the park’s opening day attractions – will return for a limited run from Feb. 6 through July 1, 2026. Following its run, the previously announced new Soarin’ Across America will debut on July 2 in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.
- Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will dress in all-new outfits on Buena Vista Street for a limited time, beginning Feb. 6. The sun motifs and vibrant color palette are nods to when the park first welcomed guests with golden possibility.
- For one day only on Feb. 8, 2026, while supplies last, guests entering Disney California Adventure Park may receive a complimentary commemorative map.
- Schmoozies! will serve a decadent cake shake – a confetti shake with strawberry icing, sprinkles, whipped topping and a slice of cake, available for a limited time, Feb. 6 – 15, 2026.
- A new Disney California Adventure 25th Anniversary Collection merchandise collection will be available beginning Feb. 6, at Elias & Co., Gone Hollywood, and Seaside Souvenirs.
Plus, a first-of-its-kind novelty is also swinging into the celebration! Featuring embedded “Magic Inside” technology, the new Pixar Pal-A-Round Bucket reacts to select locations in both theme parks, changing color and lighting patterns that will surprise and delight. The lighting effects enhance the storytelling of some lands and attractions, as well as amplify select nighttime spectaculars.
At Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, beginning Feb. 6, Humphrey the Bear will make his Disney Parks debut during Donald’s Tales of Adventure dinner buffet at Storytellers Cafe, and a new, limited edition pin featuring Chip n’ Dale will be available for purchase at Acorns Gifts & Goods shop.
Visitors to the Downtown Disney District can join in the fun with a special tote and pin featuring the district’s new logo available for purchase at World of Disney (while supplies last), along with specialty food and beverage items in honor of the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration.
