Disneyland Resort Celebrates 64 Years of Fun and Innovation with July 17

Anniversary Tribute

Anaheim, CA (Wednesday, July 17, 2019)

Disneyland, the original Disney theme park, commemorated its 64th  anniversary today with festivities that included the “Happiest March on Earth” down Main Street, U.S.A. The cavalcade included 64 Disney characters, parade performers, the Dapper Dans barbershop quartet and the Disneyland Resort Ambassadors stopping at several points along the route to celebrate the historic occasion.

The popularity of Disneyland through the past 64 years celebrates Walt Disney's dream of

a place where family members of all ages can have fun together in a safe, clean atmosphere that emphasizes imagination and extraordinary guest service. Since 1955, dignitaries, heads of state, celebrities and more than 800 million guests have passed through its gates.

July 17 also marks the last chance to see Mickey's Soundsational Parade because from July

18 through Aug. 1, guests can see Mickey Mouse and his friends join the Disneyland Band for performances of “Mickey and Friends Band-Tastic Cavalcade” at Disneyland that will run twice daily featuring live music and a host of favorite Disney characters.

Beginning Aug. 2, the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade returns to Disneyland for a limited-time.  This popular nighttime parade will travel down Main Street, U.S.A., each night through Sept. 30.

Guests will also enjoy the ninth and newest land at Disneyland, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

Guests may live their own Star Wars adventure as they are transported to a galaxy far, far away, on the remote planet of Batuu where guests take the controls of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
