Disneyland Kicks Off Its 70th Anniversary Celebration with New Nighttime Spectaculars, 70-Plus New Menu Items, and Treasure Hunts
Briefly

Disneyland has launched its 70th anniversary celebration, themed "Celebrate Happy," featuring decorations, entertainment, food, and merchandise, running until summer 2026. The event honors Disneyland's rich history while embracing the future, as highlighted by Walt Disney Imagineering's David Caranci. Nostalgic elements include the return of the Paint the Night parade and the new World of Color show. The upbeat theme song, featuring the Jonas Brothers, accompanies heightened entertainment experiences. This celebration aims to reconnect visitors with their childhood memories and the magic of Disneyland, making it a memorable milestone for all.
These anniversaries really started in 1955 on July 17 with Walt Disney, when they decorated Main Street red, white, and blue. We don't live in the past, but we honor the past.
The 70th celebration felt like a living scrapbook of all the memories I had made at Disneyland in decades past, while also making me feel like a curious and carefree kid at heart again.
For the milestone celebration, the parades, shows, and nighttime spectaculars have been dialed up a notch. Throughout the 70th anniversary entertainment, an upbeat new theme song, also called 'Celebrate Happy' is played.
So many nostalgic nods pulled on my heartstrings, from the return of the Paint the Night after-dark parade at Disneyland Park with reminders of the Main Street Electrical Parade.
