Disney100!
This event, called Disney100, is full of new merchandise, entertainment, and more, and we were invited by Disney to preview a few special new offerings, like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and the World of Color — ONE nighttime spectacular.

Now we’re back with another new nighttime show, and this time it’s in Disneyland Park!
Wondrous Journeys
Wondrous Journeys is a new nighttime spectacular that celebrates 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios in Disneyland Park, and it transforms Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street, U.S.A. with projecting and lighting effects.
Ken Potrock, President of Disneyland Resort, welcomed everyone to the Wondrous Journeys preview.

And then it was time for the show! Wondrous Journeys includes references to every Walt Disney Animation Studios film (including the new film, Wish, coming soon). It also includes a whopping 18 different Disney songs!

In addition to the projections on Sleeping Beauty Castle, you can also see projections up and down Main Street, U.S.A. How amazing does this look??

If we take a look back toward Sleeping Beauty Castle, you might want to look to the skies. Baymax from Big Hero 6 actually flies over the castle!
