Disneyland California Adventure

With Spring Break and cooler weather behind us, I’m sure I am not the only one who is starting to think of summer vacation! Just in time for your summer visits, Disneyland has released details on exciting events going on at both parks and announces it’s going to be a “Summer of Heroes” at Disney California Adventure.


We can confirm that the new Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! attraction will be opening at Disney California Adventure in Disneyland on May 27th. The highly anticipated new attraction takes guests into a chaotic and hilarious adventure that combines a breathtaking free-fall sensation with all-new visual and audio effects. The action jumps to the beat of the attraction’s “awesome mix tape” of music, inspired by the films soundtracks. Guests will discover multiple ride experiences as they help the unique hero Rocket in a daring plan to free the Guardians–a band of extraterrestrial misfits–from the fortress of The Collector, Taneleer Tivan.

Join in the fun of the Guardinans’ opening with the “Summer of Heroes” celebration going on at Disney California Adventure. During this celebration, lasting from May 27th to September 10th, 2017, you can meet Heroes from the Guardian of the Galaxy film (some appearing for the first time in a Disney park!) along with other iconic Super Heroes. The “Summer of Heroes” also introduces an ever-expanding universe of Super Hero stories at Disney California Adventure that will become even bigger over time. In addition, guests in the park’s Hollywood Land will join some favorite Super Heroes for epic, new experiences for a limited time.

Some Super Hero experiences that Disney California Adventure will be able to experience year-round:

  • Super Hero Encounters: For the first time, citizens of Terra (Earth) will come face-to-face with Groot. They also may encounter the First Avenger, Captain America, and everyone’s favorite web slinger, the friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man.
  • “Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off!”: Star-Lord fires up his old-school boom box to get a party started. Everyone, including tree-of-few-words Groot, is bound to get in the groove and show off their moves during this awesome rock ‘n’ roll bash.

These adventures will only be available for guests to enjoy during the “Summer of Heroes” (May 27th to September 10th, 2017):

  • “Avengers Training Initiative”: Black Widow and Hawkeye assemble young recruits for a series of tests to see if they have what it takes to join the ranks of the Avengers.
  • Heroic Encounter: Black Widow: Black Widow arrives on the scene several times throughout the day in an armored Avengers vehicle for her heroic encounter with park guests.
  • Grab a Piece (or Bite) of the Action: Special themed merchandise, plus food and beverage items, will be available throughout Hollywood Land.

As previously reported, over in Disneyland Park, guests will have the opportunity to view the Main Street Electrical Parade for an extended period of time. Due to popular demand, the parade has been extended until August 20th, 2017. The nighttime parade features beloved Disney characters and stories, half a million twinkling lights, the synthesized music of “Baroque Hoedown” and the heartwarming joy of nostalgia. Nightly performances feature favorites like Cinderella’s ball, Elliot, the smoke-breathing, tail-waggin “Pete’s Dragon” and the glittering “To Honor America” finale.

Popular Disney Junior characters from Disney Junior TV shows “Doc McStuffins,” “Sofia the First” and “The Lion Guard” are joined by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse from the new series “Mickey and the Roadster Racers.”
