    Hi! Will the parks still be decorated for the 70th anniversary over Aug 12-15th or will Halloween decorations already be taking over? I know that Halloween things kickoff on the 22nd & I’m worried that I’ll be missing out on the 70th celebration decor!

    Welcome to planDisney, Bretton!

    The Disneyland Resort’s 70th Anniversary Celebration has been the highlight of the year, and I completely understand wanting to make sure you’re part of the excitement. I recently had the chance to visit during the celebration and can confirm it’s every bit the magical summer party we hoped for!

    The Disney Parks Blog recently shared some helpful details about how the upcoming Halloween Season will blend with the ongoing anniversary festivities. While the spooky season will bring its own special touches to the resort, several signature 70th elements will continue to shine. You can expect to see decorative anniversary flourishes throughout the parks, including the iconic castle photo opportunity in the esplanade. And the interactive MagicBand+ experiences and Key to Disneyland lock stations will remain available, offering you a chance to enjoy the 70th decor and maybe catch the first hints of Halloween magic as the resort begins its seasonal transformation.

    When it comes to entertainment, you’ll still be able to enjoy the full lineup of celebratory offerings during your visit. Paint the Night will be dazzling guests as it sparkles its way from the “it’s a small world” mall down Main Street. It’s a true showstopper! And Wondrous Journeys will continue to light up the skies, pairing inspiring storytelling with fireworks that leave you grinning from ear to ear.

    But the magic doesn’t stop there. Over in Fantasyland, the colorful nighttime projection show A Tapestry of Happiness will continue to transform the “it’s a small world” facade with joyful nods to Disneyland attractions past and present. At Disney California Adventure Park, Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! will keep the energy high with character-packed fun, and World of Color Happiness! will cap off your evening with stunning visuals and heartwarming moments.

    I hope this information adds to the excitement for your upcoming visit, Bretton! If you have any other questions or would like more tips on how to celebrate this cheerful season, we’re always happy to help at planDisney.

    Wishing you a magical celebration,
    David
