70th Anniversary Ceremony at Disneyland
Disney CEO Bob Iger made an appearance, along with Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro. The pair took a moment to take a selfie on Main Street with Cast Members before the ceremony began.
Both D’Amaro and Iger spoke for a moment to those in attendance to celebrate the milestone anniversary. The ceremony preceded the pair of executives ringing the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) bell live from Main Street, U.S.A. on Thursday morning.

In addition to the ceremony, Cast Members at Disneyland were treated to seeing the 70th anniversary hot air balloon, an updated Tapestry of Happiness projection show performance, and the installation of a new Zootopia-themed Main Street window.
Disneyland’s anniversary celebrations kicked off in May, but on the actual date, more new offerings were added to the slate. Walt Disney — A Magical Life and historical exhibits opened at the Main Street Opera House, a tribute to the Sherman Brothers is now playing at the Main Street Cinema, and a new verse has been added to the finale of “it’s a small world.”
Guests can also enjoy special entertainment, including a one-day-only birthday cavalcade and Celebrate Happy cavalcade, Wondrous Journeys nighttime spectacular, the Paint the Night parade, and Tapestry of Happiness at Disneyland.
