In addition, Disneyland Hotel will get a new pool and recreation area and more room options to make it the ideal base for any visitor to Disneyland in 2022 and beyond.

Disney plans to revamp Mickey’s Toontown next year to make it more friendly for young families. It’ll close in March 2022 and work will commence, with Toontown 2.0 slated to open in 2023.
If you’re planning a Disneyland trip and you have young children, the new Mickey’s Toontown promises to be an enjoyable and memorable experience for the entire family.

Two nighttime spectaculars — World of Color and Fantasmic! — will return in 2022. Both were put on hold after Disneyland Resort reopened following the COVID-19 shutdown and have been on hold ever since.
But if you’re planning a Disneyland trip in 2022, you’ll be able to check out both shows, as well as the Main Street Electrical Parade.
12/09/21 UPDATE: Disney has also announced the return of “Celebrate Gospel” and “Tale of the Lion King” in 2022. Huzzah!
