What is Reconnect ?

Reconnect is a three-day in-person and online event celebrating the Kingdom Hearts series and its community of fans. The event is coordinated by KHGuides and a team of talented creators that aim to provide an inclusive experience for all fans of the Kingdom Hearts series to connect and have fun.

Reconnect is a zero-profit event coordinated by dedicated fans and community members. All funds from merch purchases and donations to our sponsorship program are used directly to fund the event.

Will there still be a Million Dreams Awards ceremony?

YES. While we’re letting go of the traditional event schedule in favor of a Disney Park day this year, we’re not letting go of the Million Dreams Awards. The MDAs will be presented in front of a live audience (and streamed online) on the final evening of Reconnect at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel near Disneyland.

Will there be a red carpet before the Million Dreams Awards ceremony?

ALSO YES. Please prepare your finery. 💃🕺

When will nominations open for the Million Dreams Awards?

Nominations will open soon after March Caprice 7 concludes. All work completed/published between May 1st 2025 and April 30th, 2027 are eligible for nomination.

Will there be any future Million Dreams Awards ceremonies?

We don’t know yet. We’ll let you know when we do.

Will there be event badges for sale?

NO - You should only expect to pay a small fee to RSVP for Preconnect and the Million Dreams Awards when registration opens at a later date. To participate in the Disney Park day, you’ll need to purchase your own admission ticket to Disneyland through the Disney Parks website.

Park tickets are usually $200 per person per day for a single park. If you would like to purchase Park Hopper tickets that allow you to visit both Disneyland Park and California Adventure Park in one day, those tickets are usually $290. Our KH25 activities and planned group meetups will all take place in Disneyland Park. If you would like to visit California Adventure Park as well, you’re absolutely welcome to purchase Park Hopper passes, but it’s not necessary for the KH25 event. If you do decide to visit both parks, we recommend starting early in California Adventure Park and hopping to Disneyland Park for the remainder of the day, so we can end the day together.

This info is based on current posted prices and may change. Tickets are normally available for purchase 180 - 240 days in advance. We expect park tickets for June 26, 2027 to go on sale between October and December 2026. We will monitor ticket availability and post to our social accounts when these go on sale. You can also sign up to be notified via email here!

There will be a small registration fee to RSVP for Preconnect and the Million Dreams Awards when registration opens at a later date.

Can I cosplay?

Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney does not allow entry to guests 14 or older in full costume/cosplay. You may wear themed clothing items, or outfits *inspired* by your favorite characters. Please read the full Disney Parks dress code here.

For the Million Dreams Awards, we recommend wearing “red carpet attire”, but you may obviously theme your red carpet outfit after Kingdom Hearts.

If you have a cosplay that you're interested in doing, we strongly recommend making it entering it in March Caprice 7 instead! Sign-ups will open late 2026.

What airport do I fly to? How do I travel in California?

There are three airports to consider: John Wayne Airport (SNA), Long Beach Airport (LGB), and Los Angeles Airport (LAX). SNA is 14 miles from Disneyland Park and Long Beach Airport is 18 miles. Both are smaller airports, and are unlikely to have direct flights unless you are flying out of a major hub. Airline tickets for these airports may be slightly higher than tickets into LAX. LAX is 35 miles from Disneyland Park, is more likely to have direct flights available, and may have lower ticket prices. However, 35 miles from Los Angeles to Anaheim can easily take well over an hour to drive, depending on traffic and the time of day, and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) for this drive may be very expensive as a result. Consider monitoring prices for multiple airports before buying tickets.

If you’re interested in visiting Los Angeles as part of your trip to Reconnect, LAX will be a good option for you - you’ll just need to determine the best way for you to travel from Los Angeles to Anaheim reasonably. If you’re only interested in coming to Anaheim, we recommend considering SNA or LGB.

There is not significant public transportation between Los Angeles and Anaheim, but charter shuttles are available here. If you have a small group that will be arriving at your destination airport around the same time, consider renting a charter shuttle together for cost savings. We will also have a rideshare channel in the Reconnect Discord where you can connect with other attendees who may be interested in shuttle sharing.

I can't attend in person. How can I participate?

We'll be livestreaming the Million Dreams Awards on the final day of Reconnect. We also strongly recommend you mark your calendars for March Caprice 7 in March 2027 - it’s an entirely online Kingdom Hearts celebration!

I have an event idea that I wanted to pitch for Reconnect! What should I do?!

Easy: you submit it for March Caprice 7! Sign-ups open in late 2026.

I have a question that isn’t listed here. Who can I contact?

Shoot us an email at reconnect@khguides.com and we’ll endeavor to get back to you as soon as possible.

When and where is Reconnect ?

June 25 - 27, 2027 in the happiest place on earth: Anaheim, California.

Day One (June 25) is a casual Preconnect evening gathering in Anaheim. More information about Preconnect's location to be shared at a later date.

Day Two (June 26) is a full day of Disneyland Park. We will have a series of KH25-themed passive activities available that can be completed at your own pace as you move through the park. We may also have optional planned meetup moments throughout the day. You can participate in these as much or as little as you like.

Day Three (June 27) will feature the Million Dreams Red Carpet and Awards Show at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel in the afternoon/evening. The morning is yours to enjoy as you wish.

Why is Reconnect ?

The Kingdom Hearts community has a strong and positive presence online, and while we're so grateful for the connections we're able to make through social media, we think it's important to create an opportunity for Kingdom Hearts fans to connect with each other in person and celebrate a series that values friendship and unbreakable connections, meet up with old friends, and make new ones!

"Distant hearts, when rejoined as one... may find the light within."

When and where can I register to attend the event?

Registration for Preconnect and the Million Dreams Awards will open in early 2027. Attendees will need to purchase their Disneyland park ticket through the Disney Parks website. Tickets are normally available for purchase 180 - 240 days in advance. We expect park tickets for June 26, 2027 to go on sale between October and December 2026. We will monitor ticket availability and post to our social accounts when these go on sale. You can also sign up to be notified via email here!

What's different this year for Reconnect ?

In previous years, Reconnect has featured a self-contained event schedule of Kingdom Hearts themed events and activities designed and produced by the Reconnect team and community contributors. These events have been so fun to produce and we’ve been amazed again and again by how creative and talented our community members are.

The most common feedback we’ve received from previous Reconnect attendees is that while they enjoy the Kingdom Hearts themed events and activities, the part of the Reconnect experience they cherish the most is spending uninterrupted, in-person time with their friends. So for Reconnect as a part of KH25, that’s what we’re focusing on. We’re still going to have self-lead Kingdom Hearts themed activities as you enjoy your Disney Day, but the main focus is going to be quality time with your friends at your own pace.

What is KH25?

KH25 is a collaboration between the Reconnect and March Caprice event teams to celebrate 25 years of Kingdom Hearts! Our teams will be working together to make the final March Caprice and Reconnect celebrations in 2027 the best yet.

Is this the final Reconnect?

Yes. Both the March Caprice and Reconnect event series were born of a wish to light the darkness for the Kingdom Hearts community during a time when the Kingdom Hearts series (and life in the world) felt adrift. Both the March Caprice team and the Reconnect team have put their hearts and souls (and blood and sweat and tears) into these events for several years now, and we hope that we’ve made a small but meaningful difference on the landscape. Kingdom Hearts 4 is on the horizon, and the tide is turning towards the future of this series. We can’t wait to see what new and up-and-coming fans are going to create in the years to come. We’re going to be cheering you on!

How is Reconnect being paid for?

By donation. We won’t have event badges for purchase because the majority of the expense is covered with the purchase of your Disneyland ticket. However, we do still have a lot of costs associated with producing the Million Dreams Awards. If you’d like to help us make the MDAs the best they can be, you can donate any amount via our Tiltify. Contributions of $50 or more will get your online username featured on the back of all Reconnect 2027 event t-shirts!

Do I have to attend all the days of Reconnect ?

No. You are welcome to come to just Preconnect, just the Disney Day, or just the Million Dreams Awards, or two of the three.

Will there be hotel room blocks?

No - you’re welcome to stay at any hotel or vacation rental of your choice. The Million Dreams Awards red carpet and awards show will take place in the Anaheim Marriott Hotel near Disneyland.

Will there be Reconnect merch?

YES! Reconnect KH25 tshirts and merch will be available for purchase during online registration for the event in late 2026 / early 2027. It’s an easy way to help fund Reconnect, and also recognize your fellow attendees in Disneyland!

Can children attend?

Of course - it’s Disneyland! Kids are welcome at all parts of Reconnect KH25, but please bear in mind that all children under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present at all times.

I’m from outside the U.S. - what can you tell me about traveling there?

At this time, we cannot recommend travel to the U.S. by non-citizens unless you already visit regularly and are comfortable with the process. We wish it were different, but we want you to be safe. These are forces beyond our control. If something changes drastically between now and Reconnect, we’ll update our advice here. No matter what happens, we want our global community members to know that we love you.
