How to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary
Disney’s biggest event in history, the Disney100, is being held this year to commemorate the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary on 16 October 2023. Celebrations are being held around the world, from new nighttime spectaculars to special merchandise offerings.
The main celebrations are happening at Disneyland Resort in California, which is decked out in dazzling violet and platinum Disney100 decorations. The Magic Happens Parade celebrates magical moments from legendary Disney stories on select days. There are two brand-new nighttime spectaculars: Wondrous Journeys, which takes you on an epic adventure through 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios storytelling, and World of Color – ONE, which uses 1200 water fountains, lights, lasers, fog, fire and projections on mist screens to tell the story of Walt Disney’s legacy. Mickey’s Toontown will also reopen after a year’s closure, with larger open green spaces and new interactive water features to splash around in. An all-new ride has also arrived in Toontown: Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which is Disneyland’s first ride-through attraction featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.
But all the Disney theme parks will be treated to new decorations, costumes, merchandise and other surprises across 2023, particularly in October. 2023 Disney100 celebrations also include:
Disney100: The Exhibition, with rarely seen original artworks, costumes, props and other memorabilia, which will tour across the United States and Europe for five years
Disney100: The Concert, which will tour Europe with live performances of legendary film scenes from films like Beauty & the Beast, Encanto and Mary Poppins by the Hollywood Sound Orchestra and star solo artists.
Wish, a new animated story with an original soundtrack composed by Julia Michaels will debut on 22 November 2023 and explore how the star that so many Disney characters wish upon came to be.
