Take In Special Events During Disneyland's 60th Anniversary

Disneyland's 60th Anniversary is underway, and with Paint the Night parade, new fireworks, and new World of Color, it’s drawing big crowds. This guide to the Diamond Celebration offers tips & tricks for making the most of your time at Disneyland during this anniversary year, including insight on when to go, where and when to camp out for the entertainment, and other assorted tips.

Since opening in 1955, Disneyland has continued to hold a special place in the hearts of children and adults alike. Here are things you need to know if you are planning to celebrate with Mickey.

As a bit of prefatory information, information about the new stuff, as that can be found in my Disneyland 60th Anniversary Info post nor will I be rating or making value judgments about anything, as I covered that in my Disneyland 60th Anniversary Reviews post. Many people have also asked about how construction for Star Wars Land will affect Disneyland 60th, and that’s not discussed here because it won’t. We do have a separate post on Star Wars: Season of the Force at Disneyland, and what you can expect if you visit during it, though.

Two new songs written by Disney songwriting legend Richard Sherman will accompany the Disneyland Forever fireworks show, according to the news release.


"Paint the Night" will bring memories of the "Main Street Electrical Parade," but this night parade features character favorites from Disney and Pixar films, complete with over 1.5 million LED lights, according to DisneyParks Blog, the official blog of Disneyland resort that reports up-to-date information about the park.

We fully expect the Disneyland Forever fireworks and Paint the Night parade to continue well beyond that, as the new non-seasonal entertainment. The popularity has proven too much for either to simply be replaced. Even right now, during a time that is otherwise the off-season, the fireworks and Paint the Night are incredibly popular. The smart money is on seasonal fireworks running for Halloween and Christmas 2016 in place of Disneyland Forever, while Paint the Night continues to run during both seasons, as expected.
