After weeks of sweltering heat, the arrival of fall at Disneyland Resort brings with it cooler temperatures, lively celebrations, and, predictably, a surge in park attendance. From dazzling displays for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month to the eagerly anticipated return of a classic Monorail experience, there’s no shortage of excitement this season. But it’s not all smooth sailing – construction walls are up around multiple areas of the park, prompting speculation and curiosity about the ongoing projects. Whether you’re planning a visit or just keeping tabs on the Mouse, here’s everything you need to know this week at Disneyland.

The fall season has reignited vibrancy throughout Disneyland Resort. The park is bustling, evidenced by a 110-minute wait for the Matterhorn Bobsleds on a typical Thursday evening. While most attractions experienced longer wait times, some still maintained average queues, giving visitors a mixed bag of experiences in navigating the crowds. Over in Disney California Adventure (DCA), the atmosphere seemed relatively less frantic, potentially aided by the after-hours Oogie Boogie Bash event, which draws daytime guests elsewhere.

In celebration of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month running through October 15, both parks are buzzing with special offerings. From tasty treats like the Torta Cubana at Rancho del Zocalo to the new Coco Floral Skull Sipper available at multiple locations, there’s plenty to savor. Downtown Disney tops it off with live performances and delicious Salvadoran pupusas from the food truck Vchos. The celebration extends to new window displays at the Emporium on Main Street, ensuring every corner of Disneyland Resort reflects the rich cultural heritage.

Construction remains a hot topic with significant progress visible at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which is gearing up for its grand opening on November 15. Meanwhile, the extensive refurbishment of the Disneyland Railroad involves replacing large sections of track and upgrading the ride control system, with hopes for a mid-to-late October completion. Other notable projects include the transformation of Marceline’s Confectionery into the Disney Wonderful World of Sweets and various refurbishments across Downtown Disney.

One delightful highlight is the return of the front-seat experience on the Disneyland Monorail. Starting your trip at Tomorrowland Station gives you the full tour and the best chance to nab this special seat, reviving nostalgic memories for many longtime visitors.

The magical transformation of Disneyland in the fall is truly something to behold, blending festive celebrations, cultural enrichments, and ongoing enhancements to create an experience that’s ever evolving.
