Disneyland is not only the Southern California theme park that launched an industry, but a unique and beloved icon in the American and international cultural landscape.

To celebrate the magical milestone of its 50th anniversary, Disneyland Resort will treat Guests to a dazzling spectacle — from the new look of Sleeping Beauty Castle to a "golden" sheen on classic ride vehicles — along with exciting new attractions like Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters!, a thrilling re-launch of Space Mountain, and a special showcase highlighting Disneyland's first 50 years.

An all-new parade, Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams, and a nighttime spectacular, Remember... Dreams Come True, will be bigger and more elaborate than ever. And Block Party Bash at Disney's California Adventure will have Guests dancing in the streets.

"A SOURCE OF JOY AND INSPIRATION TO ALL THE WORLD..." Since Walt Disney dedicated Disneyland on July 17, 1955, the park has remained a true American treasure — a magical kingdom where adventure, discovery, fantasy and fun for the whole family reign.
