Grab your party hats, people! Disneyland Resort’s 70th Anniversary is getting closer and closer every single day. It’s almost time to PARTY!
Disney’s grand celebration is kicking off on May 16th and will run through the summer of 2026. With the celebration approaching, we’re constantly getting new updates. Let’s take a look at what’s just been announced!
Disney just dropped some new dining details for the 70th Anniversary! We learned that several new dining experiences are starting, giving you the chance to feel like a true V.I.P. during the celebrations. Let’s take a look at the experiences available.
It’s happening, everyone! The dazzling nighttime parade, “Paint the Night,” is returning to Disneyland Park for the Disneyland 70th Celebration. For this parade, a Paint the Night Dining Package experience will be offered at Plaza Inn. It’s a multi-course, all-in-one meal package that comes with reserved viewing for the spectacular nighttime parade! You will be able to pick up your meal between 1 PM and 4 PM and sit at any available table at the Plaza Inn. Plus, this dining package offers a kids meal option for little ones! Reservations will open on March 25th, 2025, so get ready.
For the first time ever, Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel will debut character dining during dinner! At Donald’s Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet at Storytellers Cafe, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and friends invite you to enjoy the atmosphere, barbecue-style food, and comforting desserts. Mickey’s Tales of Adventure will continue to be available for breakfast and brunch at Storytellers Cafe. We’re very excited about these experiences! Reservations will open on March 25th, 2025. We’re sure this will be popular!
Finally, we go to a galaxy far, far away! Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo Nighttime Gathering returns to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park for a limited time. It will have a variety of delectable options and special quick-service items. Best of all, it will offer subsequent viewing of the nighttime spectacular, “Fire of the Rising Moons” when available! This dining package celebrates sweet, savory and Star Wars under the spires. Reservations will open on April 3rd, 2025.
Speaking of nighttime spectaculars, don’t forget that Wondrous Journeys is returning for the 70th Anniversary! This show “celebrates the legacy of Walt Disney Animation Studios classics” and features projection effects on Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle, “it’s a small world,” and the Rivers of America.
