The resort’s 70 th anniversary festivities kick off Friday with new experiences and returning favorites that feel like a love letter to existing fans. It’s also an invitation for first timers to discover why Disneyland is called the Happiest Place on Earth and to make it their own.

There were also incredible moments as well, including new Pixar and Disney animation faves Inside Out, Turning Red, Encanto and Moana all over the resort’s 70th offerings. It’s certainly celebration of cartoon chaos and we welcome Robot Walt’s imminent arrival in July to coincide with the actual anniversary of the opening date of the park.

Food, entertainment and fun is planned for the year-long birthday party celebrating Walt Disney's theme park in Anaheim.
