Disneyland is set to celebrate its 70th anniversary starting May 16, 2025! With an array of dazzling festivities lined up, there’s something for everyone visiting the Happiest Place on Earth. Here’s your ultimate guide to 70 must-dos for this milestone event.
Kicking off the celebration, the beloved Paint the Night Parade is making a triumphant return! After nearly a decade away, this nighttime extravaganza is sure to enchant with its million-plus LED lights and vibrant characters from Disney and Pixar films. Pair this with the stunning Wondrous Journeys fireworks and projection show featuring Baymax soaring over Sleeping Beauty Castle, and your nights at Disneyland will be nothing short of magical.
Daytime visitors can revel in the Tapestry of Happiness Show at Fantasyland. This visual spectacle, inspired by Disney artist Mary Blair, brings “it’s a small world” to life in brilliant fashion, celebrating 70 years of Disneyland splendor. Don’t miss the Celebrate Happy Cavalcade, a joy-filled procession led by Mickey and friends, introducing even more characters into the heart of Disneyland.
For those sensory delights, hop over to Disneyland’s culinary offerings. Tiana’s Palace in New Orleans Square serves up authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine in a setting straight out of *The Princess and the Frog*. If your taste buds crave more, dive into the specialty menus and seasonal snacks scattered across the park.
Finally, round off your anniversary visit with a ride on some Disneyland-exclusive attractions like the Matterhorn Bobsleds and Indiana Jones Adventure. Don’t forget to pause at Walt’s old apartment on Main Street, U.S.A., and wave goodnight as a tribute to the man behind the magic.
