If you’re looking to make more friends in the new year, the Guardians of the Galaxy are more than happy for Terrans to join them on Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disney California Adventure park and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.

“A Goofy Movie” | The Perfect Cast

Start the new year with the perfect song “I2I” and “The Perfect Cast” as Max navigates his way across the country to see Powerline in Los Angeles before time runs out, in “A Goofy Movie.”

While you explore Mickey’s Toontown, keep your eyes open for Powerline memorabilia at Goofy’s How-to-Play Yard, “I2I” by The Toontown Tooners playing in the land, and Powerline-inspired Power Lime candy props inside Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway queue at Disneyland park.

“The Princess and the Frog” | Welcome Princess Tiana

We’re almost there, on New Year’s Eve! Just as Tiana set a goal for herself to open her own restaurant and become a world-class chef in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog,” 2026 offers a new beginning to set goals and resolutions for us to achieve our dreams.

“Beauty and the Beast” | Beast Transformation

“Cool Runnings” | Iconic Slow Clap Finish

Another sports classic based on a true story, “Cool Runnings” is a story all about the counting of seconds, perseverance and second chances. With 2026 just around the corner, it reminds us that nothing is impossible – especially the goals we set for ourselves in the new year.

While snow and ice are hard to find in Anaheim, California, you and a team of friends and family can buckle into your very own bobsleds while navigating the tight turns of Matterhorn Mountain on Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland park.

“Toy Story” | Falling with Style 

Movie Start Time: 10:45:15 PM

Thanks to a little help from one of Sid’s rockets, Buzz and Woody help ring in the New Year with a fireworks finale before flying…falling in style in Pixar Animation’s “Toy Story.”

But before these now iconic friends can race back to Andy, Buzz learns to forgive Woody which reminds us that forgiveness is a New Year’s resolution that can help start the year off with a clean slate. To spend even more time with your favorite “Toy Story” friends in 2026, be sure to visit Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World Resort and Pixar Pier at Disneyland Resort.

“The Incredibles” | Super Family Finale

Movie Start Time: 10:14:52 PM

This action-packed adventure ends with an “incredible” fireball drop that brings family together. Even with no capes, Pixar Animation Studios’ “The Incredibles” reminds us that each of us has a special gift and talent within.

Embrace that gift and make 2026 your best year yet. And if one of those gifts is helping to catch super babies, then The Incredibles could use your help next time you board the Incredicoaster at Disney California Adventure park.
