Disneyland Diamond Celebration Overview



The Disneyland Diamond Celebration makes an already magical experience even more, well – Magical. Both Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure are decked out in Diamonds and feature special treats and merchandise for the 60th Anniversary.

Even before you make it into the parking lots you are greeted by street banners and towering spirals boasting the celebration. If you park in either the Mickey and Friends parking structure or the Pinocchio parking lot and are going to take the tram to the park entrances you will be able to see Mickey and Minnie’s billboard – here they invite you to their dazzling party.

Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland and the Carthay Circle Theater in Disney’s California Adventure are draped in finery for the occasion and a large 60th Celebration sign sits in front of the Disneyland Railroad Main Street Station.

Special treats are available at various locations throughout the parks to include cupcakes at the Fifer, Fiddler, and Practical Café in California Adventure and Jolly Holiday Bakery in Disneyland Park. A Diamond Celebration souvenir sipper and glow cube are also available in most places where beverages are sold.

Diamond Celebration merchandise is available in many of the gift shops and merchandise cards in both parks and in Downtown Disney.

Lastly, for the Celebration three new nighttime spectaculars have been added. A new World of Color – Celebrate – featuring Mickey and Neal Patrick Harris is shown nightly at California Adventure. At Disneyland there is a new electrical parade – Paint the Night where Disney and Pixar characters sparkle along the parade route. There is also a new fireworks show entitled Disneyland Forever. We were sadly not able to see this whole show, the night that we had planned to stay for the show it was canceled due to rain.

Stay tuned for a more in depth look into the merchandise, treats, and nighttime spectaculars.

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
