Here’s everything you need to know about the Celebrate Happy Cavalcade during the Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration.

About the Show

A host of dancers join Mickey and Minnie plus several of their pals including Donald, Pluto, Goofy & Max, Chip & Dale, and even Duffy and ShellieMae.

Other popular characters are joining the celebration too and you might spot some of your favorites including Disney princesses such as Snow White, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Merida plus various Disney heroes such as Aladdin, Genie, Pinocchio, Geppetto, Miguel, Alice, Peter Pan, and Captain Hook. Of course, as Walt Disney said himself in 1965 on the occasion of Disneyland’s 10th anniversary, “no Disneyland celebration is going to be complete without Mary Poppins” and she rounds out the cheerful festivities.

The cavalcade is set to the tune of the brand new “Celebrate Happy” song performed by the Jonas Brothers which can be heard around the resort and on the official Disneyland 70t Celebration album.

How to Watch

Celebrate Happy Cavalcade takes place along the parade route and lasts approximately 6 minutes from start to finish. There is no need to arrive earlier than about 15 minutes with many spots still available until right before the small procession rolls on through.

It’s also important to keep in mind that the “start” time for the cavalcade is from the point that it steps off from the parade gate. Depending on how far you are from the start point, that could add upwards of 20-minutes or more before you see it come your way.

Typical showtimes are 1:30 PM and 2:45 PM. Showtimes are subject to change so always check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest information.
