Disneyland announces “Sounds of Magic” during Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites

Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites is a special ticketed event that will take place on two select nights in March. During each magical event night, Disneyland Park will transform with nostalgic entertainment, Disney Characters, specialty food and beverages, shorter attraction wait times and so much more from the last seven decades. And Disneyland has announced that one of the entertainment offerings will be “Sounds of Magic”, a riverfront serenade featuring vocalists that perform favorite songs from past Disneyland musical shows.

Performers will float down the Rivers of America on a raft multiple times throughout each event night singing tunes from various decades of Disneyland entertainment including “Animazement – The Musical,” “Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee,” “Frozen – Live at the Hyperion,” and “The Lion King Celebration Parade.”
