Welcome to planDisney, Ashleigh!
There’s no better way to cap off a Disney day than with nighttime spectaculars, and
Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration makes it all the more magical. From fireworks to fan-favorite parades, there’s something extra special lighting up the skies this summer. Let’s dive in!
I checked the
Daily Events Calendar on the Disneyland website, and while showtimes for dates beyond June 29 haven’t been posted just yet, things are looking promising. Based on earlier listings this month, Wondrous Journeys with fireworks has been scheduled on most nights, weather permitting. It’s important to note that Disneyland’s nighttime entertainment is subject to change, especially due to weather or other operational factors. If fireworks aren’t presented on your chosen night, the show will typically proceed as a projection-only version, which is still beautiful and worth sticking around for!
And
Wondrous Journeys is just the beginning. Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration has brought a wave of excitement across both parks! I had the chance to attend the kickoff on May 16, and I can still hear the cheers as
Paint the Night rolled down the parade route, with “When Can We Do This Again?” echoing through the crowd. It was an unforgettable moment shared with my family. Another highlight is the
Tapestry of Happiness, a vibrant projection show on the “it’s a small world” façade that celebrates Disney storytelling in the most charming way.
Across the Esplanade at Disney California Adventure, the celebration continues with
World of Color Happiness!, a stunning nighttime show on Paradise Bay. This version highlights emotional moments from Disney and Pixar films, hosted by the characters from Inside Out 2, and it’s all tied together with heartwarming music and water effects. As a final touch, be sure to catch the evening moment at Carthay Circle Theatre, where lights, projections, and a special visit from Tinker Bell light up the night.
Ashleigh, no matter when you visit, there are so many ways to experience happiness at the Disneyland Resort this summer. If you have more questions or need help planning your itinerary, we hope you’ll stop by again at planDisney.
Wishing you a summer full of magic and memories,
David
