After more than a year of closure, Disneyland is ready to reopen officially on Friday, April 30, and tonight a new video was released showcasing the symbolic relighting of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Ahead of the relighting of the castle, which was set to an instrumental version of “When You Wish Upon a Star,” we heard from Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, and Ken Potrock, president of the Disneyland Resort plus Disneyland Resort Ambassadors Justin Rapp and Rafa Barron who all shared similar messages of gratitude to the Disneyland Resort Cast Members who help make the magic.

Walt Disney himself said it best, “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”
