Welcome to planDisney, Donna!
There’s so much excitement building around the 70th anniversary of the Disneyland Resort, and
World of Color Happiness! is just one dazzling part of the celebration! I’m so glad you’re planning ahead for this special time. Let’s take a look at what’s in store.
Yes, World of Color Happiness! will offer a
dessert party, and reservations open on April 10, 2025, perfectly timed as your trip date already falls within the 60-day booking window. Typically, dining reservations (including dining packages and dessert parties) become available starting at 6:00 AM Pacific Time. However, several planDisney panelists (myself included!) have noticed that some reservations drop even earlier. I recommend starting your search around 3:00 AM PT. You never know when the pixie dust will strike!
To boost your chances, I suggest logging into your Disneyland account on either the
Disneyland app or the
Disneyland website a few minutes before your chosen time. Having your payment method saved ahead of time can also help you breeze through the booking process.
Now, while Carthay Circle Restaurant doesn't offer a dining package for World of Color Happiness!, you still have s
ome magical alternatives to choose from! You might enjoy:
A dinner buffet at
Storytellers Café inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel.
Lunch or dinner at
Wine Country Trattoria in Disney California Adventure.
If you’re a Magic Key holder, the
Magic Key Terrace offers a 3-course prix fixe meal for lunch or dinner, plus a viewing voucher for the show.
But that’s not all! The 70th anniversary festivities will also include the return of Wondrous Journeys, the stunning nighttime spectacular that lights up Sleeping Beauty Castle with animation, fireworks, and heartfelt music. Over at “it’s a small world”, don’t miss the new Tapestry of Happiness projection show, a nostalgic tribute to cherished Disney moments. Carthay Circle Theatre will also host a special musical experience, and the beloved Better Together parade will bring more than 30 Pixar Pals (including some rare favorites!) to the streets of Disney California Adventure.
With so much joy and enchantment coming your way, I just know your visit will be unforgettable, Donna! If you have any more questions or need help planning the details, we’re always here for you at planDisney.
Have a magical visit!
