    The Disney100 Celebration at Disneyland offers guests must have merchandise, delicious dining options, and brand new spectacular entertainment.

    Disney100 Celebration Disneyland

    Fans around the world are celebrating 100 years of Disney and what better place to be sure to visit this year than Disneyland! This is the theme park that started them all, and they are going full force when it comes to ringing in this very special year. With new nighttime shows, delicious food, must have merch, and a stunning purple and platinum overlay, fans will want to make their way to California this year!

    Upon arrival at Disneyland Park, you’ll be instantly met by mesmerizing sights—with celebratory touches all along Main Street, U.S.A., culminating in an awe-inspiring display at Sleeping Beauty Castle.

    Discover extra pixie dust across the Downtown Disney District, from shimmering banners to vibrant botanical displays. And on the West End, a 15-foot Mickey statue awaits—ready for a larger-than-life photo opportunity.

    A Special Disney100 Exhibit

    The Disney Gallery on Main Street, U.S.A. gives Disney fans seasonal art exhibits to explore and so of course there is a special Disney100 exhibit currently on display. Here, guests can read about many of the iconic rides, both old and new, as well as see maquette sculpture up close.

    Not only will they be stunned by these works of art, they can read the inspiring stories behind their favorite Disneyland Park attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, and even Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough.

     

    In reference to Disneyland Park, Walt Disney said, “It all started from a daddy with two daughters wondering where he could take them where he could have a little fun with them, too.” The park was also an opportunity for Walt to tell stories in a whole new way, bringing Disney films to life in the real world.

    It was as if guests could walk right through the silver screen and become immersed in the Enchanted Forest, Never Land, Toad Hall and Davy Crockett’s Wild Frontier.

    The Disney100 exhibit is a self-guided attraction. While you can spend as much time as you like there, we suggest setting aside at least thirty minutes. Longer, if you wish to read every plaque and look at all of the displays in detail. It truly is something magical.

    Disney100 Must Have Merchandise

    Nearly every shop at Disneyland, Disney’s California Adventure, and Downtown Disney have Disney100 merchandise for guests to browse. No matter what you are looking for, they have something for you! The Disney100 colors are platinum and purple, which is exactly what color the merchandise is as well.

    Classic items like ears, hats, and balloons can be found just about anywhere you look – and yes they are adorable and yes, you need them. The spirit jerseys are colorful yet subtle, and feature the fab five (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, and Goofy) as well as Pluto on back. They also include the Disney100 logo and are a must have for collectors.

    When it comes to the other Disney100 merchandise that guests can purchase, there are shirts, sweatshirts, statues, dolls, plushies, and so much more. Truly something for everything. Honestly, all are reasonably priced when compared to the non-Disney100 merchandise, which is sure to make Disney fans happy.

    Currently discounts are able to be used, so if you are a Magic Key holder or a Disney Vacation Club Member, prepare for savings!

    disney100 food

    Disney100 Delicious Dining Options

    There is something to be said about Disney food. Somehow, everything just tastes better at the parks. Disney has gone all out to help celebrate Disney100, and that means they even stepped it up with the food offerings. There are a lot of delicious sweet treats, with our favorite standout being the Lemon Tea Cake.

    However, cream cheese pretzel lovers will be thrilled to get their hands (or rather tastebuds) on the Violet Pretzel which is the cream cheese filled pretzel drizzled with salted vanilla cream and lavender sugar. If a churro is more your thing, Disney has you covered with their Disney100 version which is a churro rolled in cherry sugar and drizzled with white icing and purple and silver pearls.

    Collectors rejoice because of course Disney thought about the items that will last forever as well. There are popcorn buckets and mugs/cups – our favorite being the Disney100 Poison Apple Mug.
