It’s crazy to think that Disneyland started its 70th Anniversary over a full year ago! The celebration brought tons of exclusive merchandise, food and beverages, and iconic shows. Out of everything to come, we’ve probably enjoyed the entertainment the most.

Paint the Night Parade

Lately, we’ve been trying to watch the shows as many times as we can as the party wraps up. Well, we can take a step back and breathe for a minute, because Disney just dropped some massive news that they’re extending these limited-time shows!

We were thrilled to see that Disney will be extending two shows that returned for the 70th anniversary, and the extension is a pretty decent one. It will be tough to say goodbye, as it was when they left before coming back for the celebration, but we still have a little extra time with them to enjoy!

Wondrous Journeys

Wondrous Journeys, the nighttime fireworks spectacular, has been extended to August 20th for guests to enjoy before the spooky season begins! The show is a tribute to the classic movies of Walt Disney Animation Studios that inspired the first Disney theme park.

This show is so cool!

The show is displayed on Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street, U.S.A., the Rivers of America, and the façade of “it’s a small world”! It features projections and fireworks and tons of iconic Disney characters, including those from Moana, Frozen, The Lion King, Hercules, Peter Pan, Encanto, and more. The very last performance of Wondrous Journeys will be on August 20th at 9:30 PM.

The Paint The Night parade is a fan favorite, and one that we were beyond thrilled to see return for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary, which began May 14th. The parade truly “paints the night” with LED lights on a dazzling display of floats. The parade features characters from Frozen, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, and more. The stars of the parade are Tinker Bell and Sorcerer Mickey. It’s truly iconic!

Goofy and Donald

The parade was originally planned to run until the end of the celebration on August 9th, 2026, the same as the fireworks show. However, this show will also be staying until August 20th! To catch the last performances, you’ll want to be there on August 20th at 8:45 PM and 10:45 PM.

It sucks to say goodbye, but when one door closes, another door opens. As the two shows leave Disneyland, Disney California Adventure will see the return of World of Color – ONE. The show will be back for a limited time, beginning on August 10th through the Halloween season. We don’t know much else beyond that, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for more details!
