At Disney California Adventure park, you can look forward to an all-new nighttime spectacular, “World of Color Happiness!” The show is inspired by Walt Disney’s words from the opening day park dedication from seven decades ago: “To all who come to this happy place…welcome!”

In the evenings, the exterior of Carthay Circle Restaurant will invite everyone to “celebrate happy” during a special moment filled with lights, music and projection effects.

The high-energy parade “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” will also return to California Adventure.

Over at Disneyland park, the fan-favorite “Paint the Night” parade will return featuring stunning color, vibrant floats and more than a million brilliant LED lights.

The beloved nighttime spectacular “Wondrous Journeys” will also dazzle Disneyland once again, enhanced with fireworks on select nights.

“Wondrous Journeys” nighttime spectacular and “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” parade will temporarily pause to make way for seasonal Halloween and Holidays entertainment offerings, then resume at a later time.

Disneyland will also debut a new character cavalcade, as well as a new projection show on the facade of “it’s a small world.”

Created in honor of the anniversary, an upbeat new theme song “Celebrate Happy” will be heard throughout various entertainment offerings.
