Disneyland’s theme parks reopened earlier this year, and over time more things have started to come back to the parks and resort overall.
Candlelight Processional returned this year, and various hotels and restaurants reopened. We’ve also heard a bit about some of the returning entertainment that will be available next year. But, now we’ve got more Disneyland news!
Earlier today, Disney shared details about 6 different entertainment options that will be returning to Disneyland in 2022. Let’s go through them here:
Celebrate Gospel!
First up, an expanded version of “Celebrate Gospel!” will be coming to Disneyland park in February of 2022. This musical celebration will feature live choir performances, each of which will share their own distinctive gospel music style and inspiration.
“Celebrate Gospel!” will be moving to Fantasyland Theater at Disneyland park, and will be available on select days in February of 2022.
Tale of the Lion King
Next up, we have the return of “Tale of the Lion King.” This show will return in the spring of 2022 and will be available at the Fantasyland Theater at Disneyland park.
“Tale of the Lion King” is “an imaginative adaptation of Disney’s ‘The Lion King.’” It originally debuted in 2019 at Disney California Adventure park. During the show, the story of The Lion King is portrayed by the Storytellers of the Pride Lands, “a troupe of traveling performers.”
Guests will get to enjoy the story-theater style along with live music and dance.

Main Street Electrical Parade
Disney had teased the potential return of the Main Street Electrical parade in a TikTok shared earlier this year, but now it’s official! The Main Street Electrical Parade will be making its return to Disneyland Park in 2022, just in time to celebrate the parade’s 50th anniversary.
During the parade, fans will get to see lots of their favorite floats and characters including Elliot the Dragon and floats themed to Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Peter Pan.
Fantasmic!
During the recent Destination D23 event, Disney shared that Fantasmic! will be returning to Disneyland park in 2022, but they once again emphasized today that this show will be returning soon.
World of Color
During Destination D23, Disney also shared that World of Color will be returning to Disney California Adventure park in 2022, and Disney once again shared that news today.
Disneyland Forever
Finally, Disney has also announced that the “Disneyland Forever” nighttime spectacular will be returning in 2022 to Disneyland park!
During this show, guests get to see projections on Main Street, U.S.A. and other spots around the park. Plus, you’ll get to see fireworks, special effects, and more, all while singing and dancing along to classic Disney songs and 2 original songs — “Live the Magic” and “Kiss Goodnight,” which were written by Disney Legend Richard Sherman.
In 2019, Disneyland Forever ended its run in September. But it seems like it’ll be making a comeback soon!
More details about the return of these shows are set to be released in the future. We’ll be on the lookout for that and we’ll be sure to share the latest updates with you!
