Disneyland's 70th Anniversary Fun Returns in 2026

Disneyland has shared the comeback dates for its 70th Anniversary shows and character appearances. The fun starts rolling back in January 2026. First up, the Wondrous Journeys fireworks and Mickey and Friends' special outfits will make their return on January 8. These were part of the Disney100 celebration and got a makeover for the 70th Anniversary. They took a break for Halloween and the holidays but are ready to light up the skies again. The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade, a lively street party, will resume on January 9. It has been on a break since August for the Halloween season. The big news is the Paint the Night parade, a crowd favorite, will return on January 30. This parade first debuted in 2015 for Disneyland's 60th Anniversary. It had a small scare in September 2025 when a float caught fire, but no one was hurt. Despite the incident, the parade still went on, just a bit shorter than usual. Disneyland has been all about the holidays since mid-November, with Mickey and Friends swapping their bright anniversary outfits for festive ones. But don't worry, their special anniversary costumes will be back in January. So, which show or character appearance are you most excited to see again? Let us know what you're looking forward to the most.
