Hi there, Nicola!
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. I can see that you are visiting the Disneyland Resort in just a few days. How exciting! It's a great time to start locking in your plans and daydreaming about those magical days ahead.
Entertainment schedules and park hours at the Disneyland Resort can sometimes shift, especially with the change of seasons. I'm happy to share what typically happens when those changes affect special experiences like the
World of Color Dessert Party. I'd recommend reaching out to your travel agent or to the resort's
Guest Services team directly to discuss your specific situation, but generally speaking, Guests would be refunded if the World of Color Dessert Party is canceled in advance of your park day rather than moved to the earlier party. While it doesn't look like there are
currently reservations available for the earlier option, if you have your heart set on the dessert party, I would encourage you to keep checking. Guests are always changing their plans, and reservations may open up the closer you get to your date!
If you're looking for an extra special experience during your visit, I took a look through some of the current offerings, and I'd love to recommend
Disney's Happiest Haunts: The Villains Trail Guided Tour, which currently still has some availability on your park day, September 22nd! This two-hour walking tour takes you through both Disneyland and California Adventure, where you will listen to happily haunted tales, a history of the holiday, and experience some frighteningly fun perks! Included in your tour is a photo with the animatronic witch from
Snow White, a highly coveted Lightning Lane for Jack Skellington's
Haunted Mansion Holiday, and a spot in a preferred viewing area for that evening's performance of
Halloween Screams. Since you are visiting on a Monday, Halloween Screams will not include fireworks, but don't let that dampen your spirit! This show is just as dazzling with music, lights, and projections—truly, a Halloween treat!
Nicola, I hope we've helped clear up some things in your path to the magic. If you have any more questions, please reach back out to us here at
planDisney!
Magic awaits!
