This week, we shared several new stories featuring even more amazing experiences coming to Disney Parks in 2019, including a look at what to expect this year at the Disneyland Resort.

The biggest celebration of Mickey and Minnie in Disneyland history later this year will feature new and enhanced entertainment plus limited-time décor, specialty foods and merchandise as well as “Mickey’s Mix Magic.” Also, we’ll ring in the Year of the Pig during Lunar New Year celebrations at Disney California Adventure park, Jan. 25 through Feb. 17. And of course, in summer 2019, you can live your own Star Wars adventure in a galaxy far, far away and explore Black Spire Outpost!

There’s much more to check out in Michael’s original “Disneyland Resort in 2019” story.
