Over 100 Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen visited Disneyland Park in Anaheim on Wednesday, May 21, for LA Fleet Week and Disney’s America 250 celebration.
The visit included a march down Main Street, U.S.A., a Town Square flag retreat ceremony with Navy Band Southwest, and a flyover by U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornets from the “Mighty Shrikes” of Strike Fighter Squadron 94 out of Naval Air Station Lemoore.
Disney also brought Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse into the day in new patriotic costumes, with Sleeping Beauty Castle serving as the photo stop for the visiting service members.
The Disneyland visit was one of the neighborhood activations on the 2026 LA Fleet Week schedule, which runs May 19 through May 25 around Memorial Day weekend. Festival events and ship tours at the Los Angeles Waterfront run May 22 through May 25.
The America 250 schedule also puts “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom from July 3 through July 5, plus the May 26 opening of Soarin’ Across America at EPCOT.
Disney’s America 250 plans also include military-inspired merchandise at select Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort locations, select items on DisneyStore.com, and 2026 offers for eligible service members at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and Disney Cruise Line later this year.
