How do events impact park operations or hours?
AnswerEvents at the Disneyland Resort can affect park operations and hours in several ways. On days when special ticketed events are scheduled, the park may close earlier than usual—sometimes around 6:00 PM—to prepare for the event. Guests who have tickets for these events are typically allowed early entry, often beginning around 3:00 PM, so they can start enjoying exclusive offerings. As the event approaches, Guests without event tickets will be guided out of the park. For non-ticketed events, there may be changes to the usual entertainment schedule or park offerings. For example, a nighttime projection show might be replaced with a special holiday fireworks display during the holiday season. Please check the official <a href="/es-us/calendars/day/#/disneyland/">Hours and Entertainment Calendar</a> for hours and event listings before your visit to ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information.
