sculpted to look like a jeweled brooch over the castle entrance. At night,
special lighting effects will bring the castle to gleaming, shining life. “The
castle is one of the most photographed icons in the world, so we wanted

“
he Happiest Place on
Earth” is about to turn 60,
and beginning May 22, 2015,
the Disneyland® Resort
Diamond Celebration will dazzle
your senses as never before.4 Whether
it’s your first time to the Disneyland® Resort,
or your 100th, prepare to make some once-ina-lifetime memories as you’re swept up in the
breathtaking spectacles of light, music, color,
imagination and pure Disney magic.
“Disneyland
will never be
completed. It will
continue to grow
as long as there is
imagination left
in the world.”
— Walt Disney

“This is such a milestone anniversary, we believe
our Guests will want to honor it with us, and
we wanted to really dazzle them,” says Jeff
Larson, Vice President of Disneyland® Resort
Marketing Strategy. Planning began in early 2013
with teams coming together to begin thinking
about how best to represent the spirit of the Park.
“We wanted the celebration to be about looking
forward. We are honoring the past, but we’re
also celebrating how bright the future is for the
Disneyland® Resort, as we find new, innovative
ways to tell our Disney stories,” says Jeff.
The team found the perfect symbol—a diamond.
“Diamonds represent a deep emotional
connection—like millions of Guests have with
the Park. Diamonds also represent a promise of
the future,” says Jeff. “Like the Park, they’re
multifaceted—and they’re dazzling. That gave us
an image for our creative vision as we began to plan.”

Setting the Stage for Enchantment
“The décor is the first piece of the Disneyland®
Resort Diamond Celebration that our Guests
see,” says David Caranci, Manager of Creative
Development, Walt Disney Imagineering. “It
immerses them immediately into the celebratory
feeling, sets the stage for everything they’re about
to experience and says that this is a very, very
special time—one they’ll remember forever.”
“We want Guests to feel that they’re part of the
celebration the moment they enter the Park, so
we began setting the stage at the Disneyland
Railroad and Main Street, U.S.A.,” says David.
“Since Main Street, U.S.A. tells a story about life in
turn-of-the-century America, we asked ourselves
how people in that era would decorate to
celebrate an anniversary. We used swags of
bunting and flags on the buildings and created
an elegant diamond shield for the lampposts to
evoke the feel of the times. The colors and the use
of ‘diamonds’ are very unique and beautiful.”
From Main Street, U.S.A., Guests will see Sleeping
Beauty Castle gleaming ahead. “We used
hundreds of thousands of individual reflective
faux gems to create a shimmering effect,” says
David. The castle turrets are decked with
‘diamonds,’ and hundreds of feet of glimmering
strands made of gems ranging from 10 to 18 inches
in size drape the castle walls and towers. The
crowning jewel is a 60th anniversary medallion
As night falls, the beauty and wonder grow even brighter with three
stunning spectaculars: “Paint the Night,” a new state-of-the-art parade
illuminates Disneyland® Park with vibrant color, fun surprises and more
than a million brilliant LED lights. At Disney California Adventure® Park,
a special edition of World of Color brightens the night with a moving
celebration of Walt Disney and his dream of Disneyland® Park. And as a
kiss goodnight, “Disneyland Forever,” a spectacular new fireworks show,
transforms Disneyland® Park before your eyes.
“Our goal for each one was simply ‘make it dazzling,’” says Steve Davison,
Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, Creative Entertainment, Executive Parades &
Spectaculars. “We wanted to pay tribute to Walt Disney and his vision. He
was a dreamer who not only made his dreams come true, but the dreams of
millions of people. Finding new and innovative ways to convey those dreams
has been exciting and fun!”
A Classic Sparkles in a Whole New Way
“Having the opportunity to create our new ‘Paint the Night’ parade has
been a real thrill,” says Steve.
“Disney parades take audiences to a very innocent, wonderful place, and I
think that’s why they are so beloved,” Steve continues. “We wanted to create
a fresh, innovative new parade with ‘Paint the Night’ yet keep the magical
spirit of Disney parades. I truly believe we have!”
“For each float we asked ourselves how we could enhance the storytelling…
how we could turn each float and Character into a work of art.”

A Taste of Magic
What’s a celebration without special
beverages and food? “For us, it’s about
enhancing the stories, bringing the show
to life with food,” explains Karlos Siqueiros,
Project Manager, Food and Beverage
Concept and Development.
For the Disneyland® Resort Diamond
Celebration, signature restaurants will
offer special menus, including River Belle
Terrace where Cardmembers receive
10% off (meal period and other restrictions
may apply).5, 6 In addition, the chefs are
creating unique new pastry pieces for
table-service and quick-service restaurants
throughout the Park.
Feeling thirsty? Several restaurants will be
offering signature lemonades that you can
enjoy only at that specific location. You’ll
also be able to quench your thirst from
imaginative sippers, including a Cars Land
Dinoco Oil Can, a sculpted Chernabog that
lights up during Fantasmic! or a special stein
with the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle on
the lid. “It’s our crown jewel of sippers,” says
Nancy North, Manager, Food and Beverage
Merchandise.
Popcorn munchers will be able to enjoy
their favorite crunchy treat from innovative
new popcorn buckets shaped like the Big
Thunder Mountain Railway mine car or a
translucent bucket shaped like a Mickey
Mouse balloon. Once you’ve savored the last
kernel, they make wonderful remembrances
of your visit.
“All great parties end up in the kitchen,”
Karlos says with a laugh. “And we love
thinking up creative ways to give Guests
a true taste of magic.”

“The Kiss Goodnight”
A Disney legend tells that as Walt and Richard M. Sherman were watching
the fireworks on the opening night of Disneyland® Park, Walt turned to Richard
and told him that the fireworks were “the kiss goodnight” to the Park Guests.
shop
The new “Disneyland Forever Fireworks Spectacular” surrounds and
immerses Guests in an enthralling journey like never before. For the first
time, not only Sleeping Beauty Castle, but the Matterhorn, Main Street, U.S.A.
and more become magical canvases for projections. Imagine watching Main
Street, U.S.A. transform into a blooming orange grove and seeing Walt
Disney strolling through, just as he must have done when Disneyland® Park
was still just his dream. As you watch, the orange blossoms turn to oranges
that begin to grow, getting larger and larger until they turn into orange
balloons that suddenly pop!
“We were inspired by some really fun light
toys, and tapped into their technology so the
lights on the floats all ‘talk’ to each other. In other
words, we have made colors travel from a Character’s
costume through the floats and props and onto
surrounding buildings, trees and even the audience so
the parade extends into the environment,” Steve says.
The parade opens with Tinker Bell flying in front of a vortex of
light. Guests who are wearing the Made with Magic Ears or Made
with Magic Gloves will see them change colors as she passes by.
“The Cars float is another example of our new technology
that I’m really excited about,” Steve says. The open back area
of Mack the truck has a lighting display with over 25,000
lights in a grid pattern displaying three-dimensional shapes
where Guests can see small versions of the Characters having
a tailgate party inside.
Another of Steve’s favorites is an enchanted version of Belle
in her 10-foot-long golden dress that forms panels behind her
which are actually LED screens that tell her tale. “The dress
alone took us months and months to get right,” Steve says.
“The float looks like a dream going by.”
Mickey’s Light Machine was inspired by a lawn ornament. “Our
teams are great at doing ‘What ifs. What if we do this…what if
we try that?’ When wind hits the paddles of a lawn ornament,
they turn. We thought, ‘Wouldn’t that be interesting to create
using light?’” Steve recalls. The result is a 14-foot light sculpture
with illuminations swirling inside it.
We have used all the amazing new technology at our fingertips
to combine light, color and music in “Paint the Night” to create
an experience that will paint memories for a lifetime.
A Magical Tribute to Walt Disney’s Dreams
What better way for Disney California Adventure® Park to share
in the Disneyland® Resort Diamond Celebration than by creating
a new World of Color show? “World of Color Celebrate! The
Wonderful World of Walt Disney” brings to life the remarkable
story of Walt Disney and “The Happiest Place on Earth.”
summer
“Walt was a dreamer,” Steve says. “The new show focuses
on how he built on his dreams, starting with Mickey Mouse.
We’ve included film clips of Walt that haven’t been seen
before, and Walt Disney Animation Studios teams have
created a lot of new animation.”
“World of Color has revolutionized fountain lighting all over
the world,” Steve says proudly. “But as usual, our team wanted
to stretch the parameters. So we have made the water itself
part of the Cast. When Guests see Mickey heading off on the
Steamboat from Steamboat Willie (1928), the water splashes
as if being stirred by the boat paddles. Images from The
Band Concert (1935), in which Mickey’s band is carried off by
a tornado, are brought to life with a spinning water tornado.
At one point, the fountains pick Mickey up, toss him around
and begin conducting themselves.”
Evocative new music adds to the magic. The feature segment
has a beautiful score by Christophe Beck, who wrote the score
for Disney’s Frozen. “The segment is gorgeous. There’s not a
single word spoken or sung in it,” Steve says. “Yet the images
coupled with Christophe’s score take you through all the
different emotions of Disney animation—from fear to courage,
romance to humor, longing to love.”
“Projections add a wonderful new layer to the storytelling by creating
fascinating environments that surround the Guests,” adds Steve. “For
instance, when we’re using music from The Little Mermaid, blue laser lights
coming from Sleeping Beauty Castle create a ceiling of lights over the Park
that makes Guests feel like they’re ‘under the sea.’ You might even find
yourself inside a honeycomb with Winnie the Pooh. Wherever you are in
the Park you’ll find yourself immersed in the stories as never before!”
The show features two original songs–the theme, “Live the Magic,” and the
closing song, “Kiss Goodnight,” written by Richard M. Sherman as a tribute
to Walt’s words. It’s an inspiring close to your time of celebrating the past,
present and future of the Disneyland® Resort, where the past is golden and
the future is…simply dazzling!

A Day at Sea, Filled
with Frozen Fun
shop
When it debuted in 2014, Frozen Summer Fun was the first
time an entire event had ever been themed around a single film.
“When the film opened, we quickly realized we wanted to offer a
way for people to experience this great story and the wonderful
music in a personal, very immersive way,” says Reed Jones,
Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney World® Resort.
The Frozen Fun begins at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® with
Anna and Elsa’s Royal Processional along Hollywood Boulevard,
complete with their team of ice cutters, ice skaters and crosscountry skiers. This year Elsa delights Guests by making snow
from atop a new float designed to look like an ice castle. Anna
arrives in a horse-drawn sleigh, Kristoff has his own ski chalet
and Olaf appears for the first time in the processional on his
own little cabin in the woods.
But that’s just the beginning. Guests can share the songs and
music of Frozen in the “For the First Time in Forever, a Frozen
Sing-Along Celebration.” Last year, the show proved so popular
that it has now moved into a new permanent home at the
Hyperion Theater with new effects and scenery to enhance the
storytelling. Historians from Arendelle tell Elsa and Anna’s story
accompanied by scenes from the film and lead the audience in a
sing-along. “Everyone in the audience gets into the spirit,” Reed
says. “Kids and adults are standing up, singing at the top of their
lungs and dancing. Dads sing with their daughters, mothers
with their sons. It’s a quintessential family moment.” At the show
finale, as the audience sings “Let It Go,” the Frozen Characters

appear onstage. Although Anna and Elsa are not available for
Character greetings after the Sing-Along, you can get your
chance to meet them up close and personal when they visit
Princess Fairytale Hall in Magic Kingdom® Park.
To put the final touch of Frozen magic on your day, check out
Hot Frozen Nights, a super-cool dance party at the center of
the Park. The party comes complete with Disney dance music,
cool videos, special effects and snow, along with some of your
favorite Disney friends in their summer celebration costumes.
As the excitement builds, Anna appears onstage to thank
Guests for helping her and Elsa create such wonderful vacation
memories. That’s the cue for the Frozen Fireworks Spectacular,
a flurry of shimmering, glistening magic in the sky. But halfway
through the fireworks show, Anna realizes that Olaf is melting,
and Elsa comes onstage to use her magic to lead Guests as they
help her sing her signature song, “Let It Go.”
“To see the fireworks, find your spot on Hollywood Boulevard,
and stand a little farther back from the stage of Hot Frozen
Nights,” Reed suggests. “You’ll be able to see Anna, Olaf and
Elsa on video screens, plus you’ll get the best overall view of
the fireworks.”

idea to book in advance.
To get everyone into A Day of Frozen Fun party mood, Elsa has used
her snowy magic to decorate the ship’s atrium with shimmering icicles,
snowflakes, banners, rosemaling-inspired visuals and even a Maypole. “Since
the European cruises are headed to Norway, we’ve been very careful to be
faithful to Nordic traditions,” says Dana Harrel, Disney Cruise Line Creative
Director. “We worked very closely with the filmmakers to be sure we were
authentic to the film as well.”
In the Oceaneer Club, kids are invited to participate in a snowman-building
craft offered several times during the day. Then at dinner, Guests can sample
traditional Nordic fare, as well as dishes inspired by Characters from the film.
Be sure to check your personal navigator or Disney Cruise Line navigator app
for times.
While waiting for the party to begin, families can participate in “Anna’s
Chocolate Chase,” a scavenger hunt designed for families to enjoy together.
Anna provides clues, and families search for familiar film icons all over the
ship. Naturally, there’s a reward at the end. And don’t forget to join Oaken
and his cousins as they teach you how to dance around the Maypole and
you can learn other traditional folk dances.
After all that dancing, quench your thirst with Frozen-themed drinks with
your $50 onboard credit for beverages that as a Cardmember you receive

party hosts for music, dancing,
reindeer games and Character

Brad agrees. “It’s one of the moments that hooked me on directing the film.
Casey is coming from a rather grim, dark place and suddenly she’s somewhere
that is clean, bright and shining. It makes you want to go there.”
shop
But creating the physical world of the film presented unique challenges.
“It’s relatively easy to depict a negative future—just show a lot of derelict
buildings and bleak scenery,” Brad says. “To create a positive future, you
have to build it first.” The filmmakers consulted with futurists for ideas of
what buildings, transportation and even energy technologies might look
like 150–200 years from now. “We also looked at the futuristic space
exploration aspects seen in Tomorrowland in the Theme Parks, including
Space Mountain, as well as attractions that are no longer there such as
Adventure Thru Inner Space and Mission to Mars,” Brad says. “But,” he
explains, “the film doesn’t take place entirely in the Tomorrowland city
we’ve created. It’s an adventure that carries us to many places.”

opens in theaters on May 22, 2015!
In theaters
May 22, 2015
Directed by two-time Oscar® winner Brad
Bird (Ratatouille, The Incredibles), the riveting
mystery adventure takes a jaded, disillusioned
former boy genius (Academy Award® winner
George Clooney) and Casey (Britt Robertson),
a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific
curiosity, on a danger-filled mission. Their goal
is to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place
somewhere in time and space known only as
“Tomorrowland.” What they must do there
changes the world—and them—forever.
“I love the Pirates of the Carribean films,” says
Damon Lindelof, Writer, Producer. “And I have
also always loved Tomorrowland at the Theme
Parks. I first walked into Magic Kingdom® Park at
Walt Disney World® Resort when I was 10 years
old, and it has always evoked such a positive
image of the future as a shining, Utopian place.
I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to make a film
where we could write our own story about
Tomorrowland?’”

When doing research for the film, the Walt
Disney archivists unearthed a mystery box with
maps and schematics related to the 1964 New

York World’s Fair—including blueprints for ‘it’s a
small world.’ “When we looked at the blueprints
under a black light, strange markings appeared
that looked like a structure underneath ‘it’s a
small world,’” Damon recalls. “It was probably
new drawings over an old blueprint, but the point
is—it caught my interest. When you stumble onto
something like that, as a writer you start asking a
lot of fun questions that inspire story ideas: ‘What
is it? Who built it? And why?’”
Damon says, “Our first year we were starting to get
the nuts and bolts of the story. I worked with Jeff
Jensen, who joined the team to help develop the
story and went on to be Co-Executive Producer
on the film. We did a lot to weave that inspiration
into the story.”
As the story took shape, Damon and Jeff
partnered with Brad Bird who collaborated on
the story, co-wrote the screenplay with Damon
and directed the film. “I liked the fact that the film
is talking about the future in a way that is very
different from the way we talk about it today,”
says Brad. “Much of what we see and hear today
presents the future as bleak and dystopian. The
vision in Tomorrowland is more informed by the
way Walt Disney saw the future. He was very
much an optimist.”
When it came to casting, everyone working on the film had the same
actor in mind—but would he be interested? “All along we had been
describing the Frank Walker character as a ‘George Clooney type’ until
finally we just looked at each other and said ‘We should just ask George
Clooney if he wants to do it!’ Brad and I went to his home, showed him
the mystery box from the Walt Disney Archives and he said he’d love
to read the script. His performance is spot on—he’s all the George
Clooney you want him to be!”
“I’m really happy with all the actors’ performances,” Brad says. “It’s a very
odd blend of characters. The story is really about three very different
characters and the way they interact. It was fascinating to watch the
actors play off each other.”
“This has been a very unique film,” Brad continues. “Normally you have
an idea and you just power through to tell the story. But because the
idea behind this story is pretty ambitious and complex, we were always
challenging ourselves to communicate it clearly. As a storyteller, you
don’t want to confuse or lose your audience, so there’s a fine line
between not enough information and too much. Every film is supposed
to be a good time…an adventure…an emotional journey you’re sharing
with the audience.”
“Tomorrowland is first and foremost an adventure story,” says Brad. “It’s
about characters exploring a very big visionary idea: that we make our
future every day and that it can be better if we believe it and work for it.”

Villains who are coming of age on the Isle
of the Lost, as well as the benevolent
teenage children of Disney’s most beloved
heroes and heroines.
“I was charged to create a story that sets

and their backstories, while giving readers
insight into what life has been like for them
on the Isle of the Lost,” Melissa explains.
“What is it like growing up as a child of
Maleficent or Cruella De Vil? They have
to be the world’s worst parents!”
“I’m a huge Disney fan, so the book was a

Pete approached Jonas with the idea for Inside Out
more than five years ago. “I immediately thought
it was terrific,” says Jonas. “Pete has great story
instincts, and his ideas come from a real place,
something people of all ages can relate to.”
Feeling Good from Inside Out
W
e all know how our
emotions make us feel.
But have you ever imagined
what they look like?
In theaters
June 19, 2015
This summer, the filmmakers at Pixar Animation
Studios—who have brought monsters, toys, cars
and robots to life—have turned their talents to
five emotions who star in Disney•Pixar’s new
animated feature Inside Out. And once you’ve
seen Joy, Fear, Anger, Sadness and Disgust as
imagined by Academy Award®–winning director
Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc., Up) and his team of
extraordinary minds, you’ll never think of your
emotions the same way.
Directed by Pete Docter and produced by Jonas
Rivera, Inside Out takes us into the mind of Riley,
who is dealing with the emotional upheavals of
growing up. It can be a bumpy road, and it’s no
exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her
Midwest life when her father starts a new job in
San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided
by her emotions—Joy (voice of Amy
Poehler), Fear (voice of Bill Hader), Anger
(voice of Lewis Black), Sadness (voice of
Phyllis Smith) and Disgust (voice of Mindy
Kaling). The emotions live in Headquarters,
the control center inside Riley’s mind, where
they help advise and guide her through
everyday life. As Riley and her emotions

struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco,
turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy,
Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries
to keep things positive, the emotions conflict
on how best to navigate a new city, house and
school.
“This was probably the most difficult project I
have ever worked on,” admits Pete. “With most
films you have visual references to study as
you create the characters. But who knows how
emotions should look?”
First, the filmmakers researched human
emotions, eventually choosing five to depict.
“Then we sent a bunch of artists in different
directions exploring, sketching and discussing
for hours. Thousands of drawings later, we
began to see the characters take shape,”
Pete says.
“Anger was pretty intuitive. When we’re angry,
we get hot and our muscles tense up. We even
say we’re ‘seeing red.’ So Anger ended up as
a tightly compressed red shape.
For Sadness, we thought of a
teardrop sort of bending over,
and because people often say
‘I feel blue,’ we went with blue.
Disgust is a protective emotion
that keeps us from being hurt
both physically and socially.
We based the shape of Disgust on broccoli, and green just
seemed right. Fear was inspired by the idea of a raw nerve,
sort of a tight, energetic squiggle and we chose purple to
round out our color palette of saturated hues. Joy is full of
energy that radiates outward, so she ended up as a star
shape—and sunny yellow, of course,” says Pete.
Not only the characters’ appearances, but their personalities
needed to be believable. “The actors made an amazing
contribution,” says Jonas. “They are some of the great
improvisational actors of our time. We would script the scene,
go through it, ask them what they thought, then sometimes
take the pages away and let them improvise. They added a
lot of fresh, spontaneous new ideas.”
“We recently had a screening for employees and
their families. One went swimming with his daughter
afterward. He said she had always been afraid to
jump off the diving board, but after the screening,
she went right in! She told her father that she realized fear
had been driving her.”
“A reaction like that is exactly what we
hope for with all of our films,” Jonas says.
“We always want to engage our audience
emotionally—only this time we’re using
emotions as actual characters to do it!”

ant to express your emotions? With innovative, imaginative and stylish products
inspired by Inside Out at Disney Store, there are many perfect ways to show your style
and put some feeling in your fun!
“All it took was one look at Inside Out to know exactly what we wanted to focus on: the five key emotions,” says
Doug Oglesby, Director, Global Product Strategy, Disney Store. “After all, they represent something we all have!”
How are you feeling? Let new dolls—Joy, Fear, Anger, Sadness and Disgust—express your mood. Each doll lights up,
speaks 10 to 15 film phrases and holds a mini-sphere memory ball where you can tuck a favorite photo that sparks
your memories and feelings.
“The dolls look as if they’ve just stepped out of the film,” Doug says. “When we started bringing the
prototypes into the office, everyone immediately gravitated to them.”
“We believe Inside Out will speak to people of all ages. So our teams came up with some creative ways
to celebrate them.” To capture your inner feelings, pick up an Inside Out journal with different sections
to write in that match your mood. Wear your emotion with pens that can be turned into bracelets with
character charms for each feeling.
Whatever your mood, use your Cardmember savings of 10% on select merchandise
purchases of $50 or more at Disney Store and DisneyStore.com to add some fun
into celebrating your emotions!3
