Disneyland Resort has always sought creative ways to enchant both first-time visitors and Disney aficionados who return for their 100th visit. This year, they are set to introduce a twist that promises to delight longtime fans of Disney California Adventure. As Disneyland gears up for its 70th anniversary this spring, guests will be treated to both classic experiences and fresh, innovative attractions. Among them, a nightly spectacle called “World of Color Happiness” will light up the skies over Disney California Adventure in a way that’s never been seen before.
Celebrating this momentous occasion, “World of Color Happiness” will not be your typical nighttime show. Imagine a dazzling display where each night’s performance could offer a unique experience. Guests will have the power to influence the show through the Disneyland app, casting votes to determine which emotion-themed character from the upcoming “Inside Out 2” will be featured prominently. Choices include Anger, Envy, Disgust, or Sadness, ensuring that every evening’s performance is one-of-a-kind. This interactive experience ensures you’ll want to catch the show multiple times to witness all four character-specific variations.
The concept is straightforward but groundbreaking: special scenes within the show will adapt based on the chosen emotion of the night. It’s a brilliant strategy for encouraging multiple viewings and keeping the magic of “World of Color Happiness” fresh for guests throughout the anniversary celebration.
As we look forward to all the spectacular offerings for Disneyland’s 70th, it’s thrilling to anticipate the return of fan-favorite parades like “Paint the Night” at Disneyland and “Pixar Fest’s Better Together.” Not to mention, the fireworks extravaganza “Wonderous Journeys” will also make its triumphant return. While specifics are being gradually unveiled, these long-held traditions and brand-new experiences promise an anniversary filled with joy, nostalgia, and innovation.
Disneyland’s 70th anniversary festivities kick off on May 16, 2025, and will continue until the summer of 2026. Expect “World of Color Happiness” to take a seasonal break for the beloved “World of Color: Season of Light” during the winter holidays but to run seamlessly for the rest of the celebration.
