ANAHEIM, Calif. (May 16, 2025) – The Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration kicks off May 16, 2025, honoring seven decades and counting of The Happiest Place on Earth with must-visit festivities across the resort through summer 2026. In 1955, Walt Disney opened Disneyland Park with a hope that it would be “a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” This limited-time celebration highlights that feeling of absolute happiness through jubilant entertainment, décor, food and beverages, merchandise and more. Over the course of its industry-defining, 70-year history, Disneyland Resort has expanded to include two theme parks, three hotels and the Downtown Disney District. The resort has a bright future ahead, with more growth to come that will create happiness for generations. High-energy and heartfelt entertainment, day into night From effervescent moments to breathtaking spectaculars, the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration entertainment lineup will inspire guests to sing along and dance. “Paint the Night” parade makes its highly anticipated comeback to Disneyland Park, featuring vibrant floats and more than a million brilliant LED lights. The nighttime spectacular “Wondrous Journeys” dazzles Disneyland Park once again with projection effects and music nodding to Walt Disney Animation Studios films; the show is enhanced with fireworks on select nights. At Disney California Adventure Park, the all-new nighttime spectacular “World of Color Happiness!” is inspired by Walt Disney’s words from the opening day dedication of Disneyland: “To all who come to this happy place… welcome!” The water show features a rendition of “Rainbow Connection” performed by R&B group Boyz II Men, plus an original song “Makes Me Wanna Move,” performed by FITZ – frontman and namesake of multi-platinum hitmakers Fitz and the Tantrums. Colorful floats and more than two dozen characters from Pixar Animation Studios films fill the streets of Disney California Adventure Park with the return of the high-energy daytime parade “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” Additional entertainment highlights include “The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade” daytime processional and “Tapestry of Happiness” nighttime projection show on the façade of “it’s a small world” at Disneyland Park, plus “Celebrate Happy: A Little Bit of Magic Every Night” projections on the façade of Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure Park. “Celebrate Happy,” a new theme song performed by the Jonas Brothers, can be heard in various new entertainment experiences. Walt Disney Records released “Music From Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration,” now available on the Disneyland Official Playlist, wherever guests stream music. Select shows, performances, and experiences, including parades and nighttime spectaculars, will temporarily pause to make way for seasonal entertainment offerings, then resume at later dates. Check the Disneyland app or Disneyland.com for entertainment schedules.
