The Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration is now in full swing. This celebration of seven decades of magic at The Happiest Place on Earth continues through the summer of 2026. It includes entertainment, merchandise, food and beverage, experiences (including Key to Disneyland), and a whole lot more! All of this can be found at DapsMagic.com/Disneyland70.
One of the nighttime spectaculars that is being offered during the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration is World of Color Happiness! This new iteration of World of Color, the seventh, is an exploration of happiness with Joy and the other emotions from the Inside Out franchise. This includes moments from both Pixar and Disney animated films through the years. It also marks the debut of The Goofy Movie in World of Color for a performance of I2I. This is perfect for the 30th anniversary of the beloved film. There are also four iterations of this show, which can be voted on by guests ahead of its presentation.
The Daps Magic team had the opportunity to see the world premiere of World of Color Happiness! This included some brief remarks from Disneyland Resort President Thomas Mazloum and the pre-show with The Muppets. Check out the first performance of this new version of World of Color here and a brief review below:

Wocka wocka… but don’t run. Safety first!

World of Color Happiness! is a fun-filled version of World of Color that also has some moments that really hit at the heart. It is fun to see the different animated films and moments that were included in this show. The exit music is also quite good. The music that accompanies this show is also very well done, although not as cinematic as other versions of the show. While the original version of World of Color will always be the best, this version is very appropriate for a milestone celebration that aims to “celebrate happy.”
