Disney just gave us a sneak peek of the Paint the Night parade, and it’s even better than we could have imagined.

If you’re heading to Disneyland anytime between May 16th and the end of summer 2026, you’ll want to make sure you plan on seeing the Paint the Night parade. It initially debuted at Disneyland in 2015 in honor of the 60th anniversary, the Diamond Celebration.

It ran until 2016, when Disney started using it as seasonal offerings or limited-time showings. Now, it’s coming back for the 70th anniversary, with Anna and Elsa returning to the parade for the first time since its initial run.

This was her original costume in 2018. The new one has different swirls, pointer wings, and different lighting in the hair.
