Disneyland Resort plans grand 70th anniversary celebration with fresh entertainment and surprises

The Disneyland Resort’s 70th Anniversary Celebration officially begins on Friday, promising visitors an array of fresh entertainment offerings along with the comeback of many beloved attractions.

The yearlong festivities will include parties around every corner, starting with the debut of “The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade” parading down Main Street, U.S.A., to the all-new “Tapestry of Happiness” projection show at “It’s a small world,” among other highlights.

The spectacular and much-loved nighttime parade “Paint the Night” is set for a grand return, illuminating Main Street with vibrant colors and more than a million dazzling LED lights.

In addition to innovative floats, vibrant costumes, and unforgettable music, Anna and Elsa will rejoin the parade on the fan-favorite float inspired by Disney Animation’s “Frozen” when it makes its return for the first time since its initial run.

The celebration will continue over at Disney California Adventure Park.

During the day, guests can enjoy the beloved “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration.” Then when the sun goes down, the all-new “World of Color Happiness!” show, which is inspired by Walt Disney’s words from the opening day park dedication from seven decades ago: “To all who come to this happy place… welcome!”

The nighttime spectacular will explore “happy” through a kaleidoscope of emotions, hosted by Joy and the other emotions from the hit Pixar films, “Inside Out” and “Inside Out 2.”

To make the most of the celebration, Disneyland Resort will offer a limited time, multi-day theme park ticket for as low $120 per day, along with with other special deals for 3-day and 4-day tickets.
