The Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration Marks 60 Years Since Walt Disney First Opened the Gates to Disneyland and Transformed the Entertainment Industry Worldwide

Walt Disney, one of the ultimate dreamers, used his uninhibited imagination and determination to create what became the springboard for all of the Walt Disney Company’s spirited and wildly successful creativity that followed — his crowning achievement: Disneyland. ABC will celebrate the inventiveness and inspiration of Disney’s big, bold creation with a glamorous, star-studded Diamond Anniversary event, both in the heart of Hollywood at the Dolby Theater and throughout some of the most iconic locations at Disneyland Park, including Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street U.S.A., and Cars Land, a themed area of Disney California Adventure Park. The special will also showcase two dazzling displays of technology – the ”Paint the Night” Parade and “World of Color–Celebrate! The Wonderful World of WaltDisney” in Disney California Adventure Park, along with many more, on “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60,” SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21 (8:00–10:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY: DISNEYLAND 60 – Tony Award-winning star of stage, film, television and music Idina Menzel to perform on “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60.” Menzel will sing “Let It Go” the multi-platinum, Grammy and Oscar(r)-winning song from Walt Disney Pictures’ global box office smash-hit “Frozen.” Menzel provided the voice of Elsa in the instant classic film with one of the most memorable soundtracks of the decade. Menzel performed in Disney California Adventure Park against the backdrop of “World of Color,” the one-of-a-kind nighttime extravaganza.

Walt Disney’s legacy lives on through the Disneyland Resort, but even he might not have been able to imagine how big his idea would become at Disneyland and at Disney parks that span the globe. He launched an entirely new concept for family entertainment that remains as relevant today as the day it opened, July 17, 1955, for guests of all ages.
