The Walt Disney Company marks its 100th anniversary this year, and the Disneyland Resort will commemorate the milestone with new experiences, entertainment and much more throughout 2023.
The festivities at The Happiest Place on Earth began with the grand opening of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and the debut of all-new nighttime spectaculars by Disney Live Entertainment: “World of Color – ONE” and “Wondrous Journeys.” More magic will arrive throughout 2023, including the return of the “Magic Happens” parade, and the reopening of Mickey’s Toontown.
Disneyland Resort invited us to join in the year-long celebration at this exclusive party and preview. In true Disney style, every detail was amazing, and the celebration shared with us the excitement of the year to come.
The newest attraction at Disneyland Park is Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Inside the El CapiTOON Theater in Mickey’s Toontown, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway transports guests into the wacky and unpredictable cartoon world of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, where they board a train engineered by Goofy and embark on a zany adventure with surprising twists and turns. The seamless integration of Disney Magic with classic animation makes this attraction the highlight of the park!
“World of Color – ONE” at Disney California Adventure Park celebrates the storytelling legacy started by Walt Disney a century ago, illustrating how a single action, creates a ripple that can grow into a wave of change. This new nighttime spectacular brings some of the most courageous, loving and inspiring characters to life in new ways. This is the first Disneyland Resort nighttime spectacular to feature characters, music and moments from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, the Avengers and Star Wars in the same production!
“Wondrous Journeys” at Disneyland Park features nods to every Walt Disney Animation Studios film over the last century. The nighttime spectacular builds upon the park’s state-of-the-art projection effects to turn Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle, the façade of “it’s a small world” and the Rivers of America into an artist’s canvas. There truly is something for everyone as every character makes an appearance and shares in an inspiring story synchronized perfectly with projections, music, pyrotechnics and lasers.
As we go through the year, Disneyland Resort will celebrate the Centennial with many more delightful experiences.
The “Magic Happens” parade will make its highly anticipated return to Disneyland Park in February. Led by Mickey Mouse and his pals, the daytime spectacular celebrates moments of magic from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios films as they are brought to life with grand-scale floats, artistic costumes and an energetic musical score.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be joined by additional new experiences and returning favorites when the reimagined Mickey’s Toontown reopens on March 8, 2023. The beloved land will feature more play activities and attractions than ever before, in addition to grassy play spaces for guests of all ages to unwind. Guests will again be able to enjoy classics like Mickey’s House, Minnie’s House and Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin.
