Disneyland kicks off an event of a lifetime starting May 22, the Diamond Celebration at the Disneyland Resort.

It’s time to pull out all the stops to celebrate six decades of magic and plan a visit.

You can expect three new amazing nighttime spectaculars that bring to life the stories, characters, music and magic they love – in all new ways: “Paint the Night,” the new nighttime electrical parade, has been described as a river of color flowing down Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park. “Disneyland Forever” is a new fireworks and projection show that is so immersive, the experience starts at your toes and reaches high into the sky above. At Disney California Adventure, “World of Color – Celebrate!” is bigger than ever and now features award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris! Neil joins Mickey Mouse and they take guests on a fun-filled journey of exploration of Walt Disney’s life and his dream of Disneyland.
