Did Disney Just Quietly Announce Some HUGE Disneyland News?!

While announcing an upcoming event, Disney might have subtly dropped another major update!

The Disneyland Resort is currently celebrating its 70th Anniversary, which means special shows, limited-time snacks, fun theming, and now even a special prize! Disney just announced a NEW 70th Anniversary sweepstakes, and in doing so, might have subtly just revealed an important 70th Anniversary date.

Disney+recently announced a Disneyland 70th Anniversary Sweepstakes worth over $13,000, and the parameters are especially interesting, as they might indicate when the 70th Anniversary might actually end.

Hey, Mickey!

Here’s the kicker: Travel for this prize must be completed between the dates of October 10th, 2025, through August 14th, 2026.

The celebration, right now, is slated to continue into the summer of 2026. HOWEVER, this sweepstakes might have subtly revealed that the last day of the 70th Anniversary Celebration could be Friday, August 14th, 2026!
