The Disneyland Resort's 70th Celebration officially kicks off Friday and guests can expect a slate of new entertainment, as well as the return of some fan-favorites.

The yearlong birthday celebrations will feature parties around every corner - from the debut of "The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade" down Main Street, U.S.A. to the all new "Tapestry of Happiness" projection show at "It's a small world," and much more.

The dazzling, fan- favorite nighttime parade "Paint the Night" will make its grand return to light up Main Street with stunning color and more than a million brilliant LED lights.

In addition to innovative floats, vibrant costumes, and unforgettable music, Anna and Elsa will rejoin the parade on the fan-favorite float inspired by Disney Animation's "Frozen" when it makes its return for the first time since its initial run.

As the Disneyland Resort celebrates 70 years of magic, we are getting a rare look behind the scenes. From the very first ticket to old cast member costumes, Eyewitness News was given exclusive access to the Walt Disney Company archives.

The celebration will continue over at Disney California Adventure Park.

During the day, guests can enjoy the beloved "Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration." Then when the sun goes down, the all-new "World of Color Happiness!" show, which is inspired by Walt Disney's words from the opening day park dedication from seven decades ago: "To all who come to this happy place... welcome!"

The nighttime spectacular will explore "happy" through a kaleidoscope of emotions, hosted by Joy and the other emotions from the hit Pixar films, "Inside Out" and "Inside Out 2."

To make the most of the celebration, Disneyland Resort will offer a limited time, multi-day theme park ticket for as low $120 per day, along with with other special deals for 3-day and 4-day tickets.
