Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort Celebrates Upcoming Release of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’; Disney Parks Blog Readers Invited to Special Advanced Screening

Before you blast into the "Guardians of the Galaxy" story when Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! opens at Disney California Adventure park May 27, you can reunite with these unlikely heroes in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" in theaters May 5!

To celebrate the new movie, Downtown Disney District will host an Awesome Mix Vol. 2 Soundtrack Release Party on April 27 at the event stage. From 6-10 p.m., guests can join live dueling DJs as they mix fan-favorite tracks from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films. There will be special appearances, trivia, games and giveaways. Fans can also learn and post their own video of the official #GrootDance. Come dressed in your favorite Super Hero costume or gear* and prepare to traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos with fellow fans!

And today I'm excited to invite you, our Disney Parks Blog readers, to attend a special advanced screening of the film here at AMC Downtown Disney 12 at the Disneyland Resort on April 27 at 5 p.m.

Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" continues the team's adventures. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid.
