anniversary celebration brings several special offerings to the resort, including colorful d\u00e9cor, both new and fan-favorite returning entertainment, special foods and merchandise, and more! If you have not visited Disneyland for a while, this is the perfect time to do it, with so many special offerings to enhance your park experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I will break down our top five tips for visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disneyland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disneyland<\/a> during its 70th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-1-consider-the-advantages-of-different-times-of-year-when-deciding-when-to-visit-disneyland\">Tip 1: <strong>Consider the advantages of different times of year when deciding when to visit<\/strong> Disneyland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Disneyland\u2019s 70th anniversary celebration runs from May 2025 through the summer of 2026, so there is plenty of time to enjoy the special offerings. Some of the 70th anniversary entertainment will temporarily pause to make way for seasonal entertainment during the <a href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disneyland-halloween\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disneyland Halloween<\/a> and holiday celebrations, and the seasonal celebrations will also alter the d\u00e9cor you see across the resort, so this is something to keep in mind as you are deciding when to visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mickey-Mouse-Donald-Duck-pumpkins-Halloween-Time-Disneyland-Esplanade-photo-by-Blake-Taylor.jpg\" alt=\"Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck pumpkins at Disneyland during Halloween Time\" class=\"wp-image-340900\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mickey-Mouse-Donald-Duck-pumpkins-Halloween-Time-Disneyland-Esplanade-photo-by-Blake-Taylor.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mickey-Mouse-Donald-Duck-pumpkins-Halloween-Time-Disneyland-Esplanade-photo-by-Blake-Taylor-620x246.jpg 620w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mickey-Mouse-Donald-Duck-pumpkins-Halloween-Time-Disneyland-Esplanade-photo-by-Blake-Taylor-980x389.jpg 980w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mickey-Mouse-Donald-Duck-pumpkins-Halloween-Time-Disneyland-Esplanade-photo-by-Blake-Taylor-768x305.jpg 768w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mickey-Mouse-Donald-Duck-pumpkins-Halloween-Time-Disneyland-Esplanade-photo-by-Blake-Taylor-150x60.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Pumpkins shaped like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck welcome guests to Disneyland&#8217;s main entrance during Halloween Time.<\/em><br \/><sub>Photo by Blake Taylor<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Each month at Disneyland brings its own unique crowds, hours of operation, and weather patterns. Parts of August, September, and November are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/best-months-to-visit-disneyland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best times of the year to visit Disneyland<\/a>, and looking ahead to early next year, January and February are also typically slower months. You can consult our <a href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disneyland-crowd-calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mickey Visit Disneyland crowd calendar<\/a> for crowd level projections throughout the year as you are planning your visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the Disneyland 70th anniversary offerings will also be debuting after the celebration\u2019s start date on July 17. This includes the new \u201cWalt Disney \u2013 A Magical Life\u201d that will feature the first-ever lifelike Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure. On the same date, a new verse will be added to \u201cit\u2019s a small world\u201d at Disneyland as well that honors Disney Legend Richard Sherman. If these two highlights are a priority for you, you may want to consider planning your visit for July 2025 or later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"913\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walt-Disney-Audio-Animatronics-figure-Disneyland-courtesy-of-Disney-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Walt Disney A Magical Life audio-animatronics figure\" class=\"wp-image-352954\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walt-Disney-Audio-Animatronics-figure-Disneyland-courtesy-of-Disney-edited.jpg 913w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walt-Disney-Audio-Animatronics-figure-Disneyland-courtesy-of-Disney-edited-620x333.jpg 620w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walt-Disney-Audio-Animatronics-figure-Disneyland-courtesy-of-Disney-edited-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/attractionsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walt-Disney-Audio-Animatronics-figure-Disneyland-courtesy-of-Disney-edited-150x81.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Concept art for &#8220;Walt Disney \u2013 A Magical Life,&#8221; opening July 17, 2025 at Disneyland and featuring an Audio-Animatronics version of Walt Disney.<\/em><br \/><sub>Artwork courtesy of Disney<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-2-consider-a-three-day-or-longer-visit-so-you-get-to-see-all-the-entertainment-highlights\">Tip 2: <strong>Consider a three-day or longer visit so you get to see all the entertainment highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot of special entertainment offered during Disneyland\u2019s 70th anniversary, including the return of the \u201cWondrous Journeys\u201d fireworks show and the &#8220;Paint the Night&#8221; parade, a new &#8220;World of Color&#8221; show and character cavalcade, and more.

During a celebration like the 70th anniversary, with so many entertainment offerings, four days would provide even more flexibility to see it all and enjoy your trip at a more relaxed pace. Remember that many of the 70th anniversary entertainment highlights take place in the evening, so don\u2019t be afraid to take a mid-day break to recharge so that you\u2019re refreshed for these nighttime offerings. This is especially important if you are getting up early in the day to tour the parks, which brings us to our next tip \u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-3-take-advantage-of-early-morning-hours-with-shorter-ride-wait-times-and-make-the-most-of-lightning-lane-multi-pass\">Tip 3: <strong>Take advantage of early morning hours with shorter ride wait times and make the most of Lightning Lane Multi Pass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking advantage of \u201crope drop,\u201d when guests line up to be let into the various lands as the park opens, is the best way to get on popular rides with shorter wait times. This is an especially useful strategy if you are visiting during a busier time of year.

If you haven\u2019t visited for a while, this paid service is the replacement for the MaxPass and FastPass systems that includes entry to separate shorter lines for several popular attractions at the parks. This service is absolutely worth the purchase if you\u2019re visiting during the 70th anniversary celebration, with so many offerings to enjoy and only so much time to do it all! You can see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disneyland-lightning-lane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disneyland Lightning Lane Multi Pass tips<\/a> for everything you need to know about how to book return times on the app, pricing, expert tips, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-4-explore-special-disneyland-anniversary-food-and-consider-a-dining-package-for-entertainment\">Tip 4: <strong>Explore special Disneyland anniversary food and consider a dining package for entertainment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Disneyland is offering dozens of new foods and drinks across the resort inspired by the 70th anniversary celebration, including some fun items inspired by the past! There is also a new character dining dinner experience that debuts with the celebration at the Grand Californian Hotel\u2019s Storytellers Caf\u00e9 called \u201cDonald&#8217;s Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet,\u201d featuring a barbecue buffet and characters in explorer outfits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also consider purchasing a dining package for certain 70th anniversary entertainment offerings if you would rather not spend your park time saving a prime viewing spot. There are dessert parties with seated viewing available for the new &#8220;World of Color Happiness!&#8221; show and the &#8220;Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!&#8221; parade, as well as dining packages for the &#8220;Paint the Night&#8221; parade and &#8220;Wondrous Journeys&#8221; fireworks.

One of our favorite things to do in Anaheim is enjoying some great food spots beyond Disneyland. There is something for everyone to enjoy at Anaheim Packing House, a former orange processing plant that is now a food hall with several different food vendors representing a variety of cuisines.
