There’s so much joy and nostalgia to be found in simply taking a stroll through Disneyland Resort

Starting May 16, 2025, join in the festive fun as Disneyland Resort celebrates 7 happy decades with new magic, special surprises and more. #Disney70

A new add-on experience fans of Disneyland history won’t want to miss is A Story of Celebration: 70th Anniversary Guided Tour. This two-hour walking tour will explore the rich heritage of Disneyland Park, from opening day attractions to the latest innovations. As guests visit iconic locations around the park, they'll learn more about Walt Disney’s vision of this happy place and how it’s continued to grow and evolve over the decades. Bookings will be available on Disneyland.com beginning April 24, 2025. Separate fees and other restrictions will apply.

For the 70th celebration, guests can discover new experiences highlighting unique details to appreciate on their walk through the park.

Ahead of the first “World of Color Happiness!” of the evening, park goers in California Adventure are invited to vote on the Disneyland app* for one of four different Emotions — Sadness, Anger, Disgust or Envy — to see them featured in special scenes throughout both of that day’s shows. Guests should be sure to enable push notifications and location services on their device, so you know when it’s time to vote.

Guests can wear their MagicBand+ as they wander through Disneyland Park to discover five fun surprises in Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland and Frontierland. At each stop, their MagicBand+ will unlock unique interactions and effects inspired by the opening day attractions, adding a little more nostalgia to their celebration.

MagicBand+ will even interact with some of the entertainment experiences arriving for the anniversary, like “Paint the Night,” “Tapestry of Happiness,” “World of Color Happiness!” and “Wondrous Journeys,” through synchronized vibrations and glittering lights. If guests don’t have a MagicBand+, they may choose to purchase a special design created just for the 70th celebration.
