ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) — Disneyland is celebrating 70 years of being “The Happiest Place on Earth,” and the beloved theme park has plenty of festivities in store all year long.

The park first opened its doors on July 17, 1955, and on Thursday, cast members were treated to a special party to mark the big milestone. Disney CEO Bob Iger was also at the park Thursday morning to ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange in honor of the anniversary.

To make the most of the yearlong celebrations, 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.
