Disneyland Resort Kicks Off 70th Anniversary Celebration
The Disneyland Resort has officially launched its 70th Anniversary Celebration, inviting guests to "Celebrate Happy" with dazzling entertainment, exclusive merchandise, themed food, and exciting new attractions. Running through summer 2026, the limited-time celebration spans the entire resort, honoring seven decades of magic at The Happiest Place on Earth.
Headlining the festivities are the return of fan-favorite shows like the "Paint the Night" parade at Disneyland Park and the debut of the all-new "World of Color – Happiness!" at Disney California Adventure Park, featuring music by Boyz II Men and Fitz and the Tantrums. Guests will also enjoy new projection shows, parades like "Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!", and a joyful theme song, "Celebrate Happy," performed by the Jonas Brothers.
The resort is decked out in festive hues of blue, magenta, and purple with golden accents, including a special Sleeping Beauty Castle medallion. Over 70 themed food and drink items are available, alongside collectible merchandise collections, from the colorful Anniversary Celebration Collection to the nostalgic Vault Collection.
Families can experience new attractions such as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and kids can sing along with characters in the live stage show "Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!", opening today. Fans of "Coco" will spot Miguel and Dante in the Mexico scene of "it's a small world".
The official anniversary date, July 17, 2025, will unveil new tributes to Walt Disney’s legacy, including "Walt Disney – A Magical Life", a cinematic and Audio-Animatronic experience at the Main Street Opera House. Additional nods to Disney history will appear at the Main Street Cinema and in a new verse of the "it’s a small world" theme song.
With so much to explore, guests are encouraged to extend their stay through multi-day visits or overnight stays at one of the three Disneyland hotels. A variety of ticket deals and vacation offers are available on Disneyland.com, making it easier than ever to be part of this once-in-a-generation celebration.
