Disneyland Resort will update the screen of the lead drum float in “Paint the Night” to feature the 70th anniversary logo, as seen in new ad imagery for the celebration.
Lead ‘Paint the Night’ Float to Feature Disneyland 70th Anniversary Logo
In the ad, shared on X by @DrewDisneyDude, the lead float stands in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, with the center screen illuminated with the 70th anniversary logo for Disneyland Resort.
According to Scott Gustin on X, the drum will alternate between the logo for “Paint the Night” (shown above) and the 70th anniversary logo as seen in the ad.
The parade will return to Disneyland Park on May 16, 2025, making its way down Main Street, U.S.A. with over a million LED lights as part of the resort’s 70th anniversary celebration. The parade’s return was first teased in a cryptic video shared on Disneyland’s official Instagram account in October 2024. We previously reported the rumor that the parade would return in 2025 as part of Disneyland’s 70th anniversary.
“Paint the Night” has performed at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. The parade debuted in 2015 for Disneyland’s 60th anniversary, and ended its initial run in September 2016 before returning for the holiday season. The parade was replaced by the original Main Street Electrical Parade, which returned in January 2017.
“Paint the Night” was then brought back in 2018, but to Disney California Adventure, adding a new “The Incredibles” float to replace “Frozen” to celebrate the opening of Pixar Pier. The parade ran through mid-November of that year, and has not been back since.
The first version of this parade first debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland in 2014 for the park’s ninth anniversary celebration.
Other offerings coming to Disneyland Resort for the 70th anniversary celebration include the debut of “World of Color Happiness!” at Disney California Adventure, the “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” Audio-Animatronic show, new park decor, and new costumes for Mickey and friends. The Jonas Brothers will also record the theme song for the 70th anniversary, “Celebrate Happy.”
