    As we are travelling from Australia our seasons are not the same as yours, so can you please confirm when exactly the 70th Celebrations will finish in line with your summer, so we plan our trip accordingly to not miss out on the birthday Celebrations

    Hello! Welcome to planDisney. Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration has sparked plenty of excitement with all the new entertainment, activities, and merchandise offerings. I’m happy to help you time your vacation so you can take full advantage of everything the Disneyland Resort has to offer!

    I’ve got great news: most of the 70th Anniversary festivities are currently expected to continue through summer 2026. During the fall season, this includes the return of Paint the Night and the Tapestry of Happiness projection show in Disneyland, along with World of Color Happiness! and the 70th-themed touches on Toy Story Midway Mania in Disney California Adventure. The interactive MagicBand+ locations and Key to Disneyland lock stations will also remain active, along with the themed décor and colorful photo spot near the castle in the esplanade.

    However, it’s worth noting that Wondrous Journeys will conclude its run by August 22nd. In its place, the Disneyland Resort will kick off its Halloween season with Halloween Screams, a spellbinding nighttime spectacular that celebrates all things spooky with music, projections, and bursts of frightfully fun fireworks on select nights. It’s one of the best times of the year to visit, as the entire resort transforms with autumn flair and playful frights.

    In Disney California Adventure, Cars Land embraces the season with clever overlays like Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, a ghostly version of his usual jamboree, and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, where you’ll spin and groove to monster mash melodies with Luigi and his cousins. Over at Avengers Campus, Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark offers a thrilling Halloween twist as Rocket races to rescue Groot from a tower full of creatures that definitely aren’t in the regular attraction lineup.

    To experience Wondrous Journeys alongside the 70th anniversary festivities, I recommend planning your visit before August 22nd. But as you can see, no matter when you go, the Disneyland Resort is brimming with reasons to celebrate.

    If you have any additional questions or would like more tips while planning your visit, please don’t hesitate to stop by again. We’re always happy to help at planDisney!

    Have a magical day,
    David
