Visit the Disney 60th Birthday Celebration with your car rental

Disneyland was the first Disney theme park created. Located in Anaheim, California, about 27 miles from Los Angeles, it was conceived and founded by Walt Disney himself, on July 17, 1955. Disneyland  was the only park that Walt Disney saw in person before his death in 1966.

To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Disneyland is preparing a 24-hour celebration, which will take place on May 22, 2015. For those who do not know the park, it is a good excuse to mark this date on your calendar and start looking into getting a car rental to plan for an unforgettable vacation.

Some of the events that are in store for Disney’s 60th anniversary celebration are:

Paint the Night

This parade will light up the night with floats equiped with 1.5 million LED lamps, Disney characters and costumes; all with Disney classics like Monsters Inc., Toy Story, The Little Mermaid, Frozen, and Beauty and the Beast, among others.

Also during the celebration the symbols of both Calfornia parks, the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland and Carthay Circle Theatre at Disney California Adventure, will both be decorated especially to give the atmosphere a ballroom-like feeling.
