The Happiest Celebration on Earth is a global celebration that honors the biggest milestone in Disney theme park history: the 50th anniversary of Disneyland.

The excitement of being part of the worldwide celebration is motivating millions of Guests to "come home" to a Disney theme park to relive favorite memories.

At Disneyland itself, Guests have experienced an amazing array of unique sights and special touches, from the bejeweled Sleeping Beauty Castle, to the golden lampposts on Main Street, to classic attraction vehicles that have now been "turned to gold."

In a salute to the 50 years of Cast excellence that transformed Walt's dream into a reality, special commemorative storefront windows were simultaneously unveiled at Disney "Main Streets" around the world. Since Walt Disney opened Disneyland 50 years ago, these "tribute" windows have served as the highest form of recognition for those individuals who have helped create the magic at Disney theme parks.

The celebration, continuing through September 2006, is expected to build upon relationships with millions of Guests who have visited Disney parks over the years, and reinvigorate a timeless tradition that families continue to pass on from generation to generation.

Holiday celebrations, festivals such as the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and brand-building events like ESPN the Weekend at Disney-MGM Studios also are making a strong contribution to the overall Guest experience.
