Hi there, Kenneth! I’m so glad you stopped by planDisney—it sounds like you’re already dreaming up a magical Disneyland Resort visit, and I’m thrilled to help you plan ahead for it!
You’re asking a great question, and I’m happy to share that
theme park reservations typically become available 180 days in advance for Guests with standard theme park tickets. That means reservations for early June 2026 should open up around early December 2025. Reservations can be made right on the
Disneyland website or directly through the
Disneyland mobile app once your preferred dates become available.
And Kenneth, I’m so excited that your visit will fall right in the midst of the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration! There’s so much happening across both parks that I could never capture it all in one place, but here are a few of the highlights I’m most excited about—and have been lucky enough to experience myself.
You’ll feel the celebration the moment you arrive, from the cheerful décor and celebratory touches around the parks to the festive medallion on Sleeping Beauty Castle. Even some attractions are joining in the fun—
”it’s a small world” now features characters from the animated film,
Coco, along with a
new finale verse by Disney Legend Richard Sherman, added especially for the 70th Celebration.
When night falls, the magic truly comes alive. The
Paint the Night parade has returned with full glow and flair, and
World of Color Happiness! fills the skies with fountains, color, and uplifting Disney storytelling. One of my favorite new stops is
Walt Disney – A Magical Life, housed in the Main Street Opera House. As someone who deeply admires Walt Disney and all he envisioned, this attraction resonates with me on a personal level. It begins with a beautifully crafted film, then leads into a presentation where an Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt himself shares stories, wisdom, and reflections. The set itself evokes his studio office, and you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the man whose dreams gave us this magical place.
Phew! That’s already so much excitement to look forward to—and just think about all the things I didn’t have room to mention here!
Last but not least, Kenneth, since you’re already thinking ahead, it’s never too early to start getting your Disney ducks in a row. I’d recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for updates on tickets,
special offers, and 70th Celebration news as it’s announced.
Here’s to an unforgettable visit filled with joy, nostalgia, and the kind of memories that could only happen during seventy years of Disneyland magic. May your countdown to June be as joyful as the memories waiting for you at The Happiest Place on Earth!
See ya real soon!
Cody
