Man, Walt would be happy to see how much Disneyland has grown over the past 59 years. Disneyland won't cease to amaze the world. And with the Disneyland Diamond Year just a year away, we Disney followers and fans wonder what Disneyland will put on the table for their 60th anniversary. I wonder what they are going to do for 60 in less than a year's time.

[@atruebluefriend]

Happy 59th anniversary, Disneyland! Here's to 59 more magical years!

[@fairlyfickle]

12:24 mkay, Cinderella is totally fist-pumping.

[@SeanCwilich]

Very nice celebration. Good songs & it was nice to see all the characters there. Happy Birthday to Disneyland! :D

[@PikachuJackskeling94]

I wish you had panned to them walking out of the gate(s) to see the reactions they got as they all came out but still it was funny to watch One of the Dans go for a handshake from the 'mayor' to only to left hanging for a second. and I love how Peter swung around on the poll XD and Hatter LOVE HIM!

[@corinnep9]

Am I the only one who cried hearing Walt's speech being played

[@SamaraRose1821]

Nope, I cry everytime I hear it...

[@purplefry1752]

No I cried also :')

[@mateo6116]

corinnep9 no I cried too

[@pinkflower8346]

i cry every time too when i hear walts voice

[@brycefourn2001]

Great video! There was so much characters, I even saw Alice, Mad Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Queen of Hearts, and Mickey and Minnie Mouse! Despite the muted part at the end, I give this video a BIG thumbs-up! Hope they do the Disneyland 60th Anniversary Celebration next year! I might be there (I think).

[@musticmouse129]

Anybody knows who sings 'A dream is a wish your heart makes' at the end? Like, who's version of it is it?

[@na-bq2lv]

R.I.P. Walt Disney😢

[@brookearrowood190]

This is truly the heart of the magic of Disney. Best performances I've seen in a while from Disney!

[@davida.3714]

Very nice happy birthday to disneyland .

[@SuperSonicx2005]

Happy Birthday Disneyland

[@caa1000]

For those of you wondering why Happy Birthday was muted: The song as originally composed was "Good Morning to You" and is technically in the copyright registry as owned by Warner Music Group. There is always the misconception that Happy Birthday is in public domain, since it was penned in the 1800's and by far the song should had been on public domain. However, the song was registered with the US Copyright Office around 1935, so the same for the very first Disney's Mickey Mouse animated short "Steamboat Willie" and they where supposed to go on public domain in 1978, but in 1976 the US Congress extended copyright protection to all registered works, including the Happy Birthday song to the life of the author plus 50-75 years. Warner Music Group claims that Happy Birthday will still on Copyright Registry until 2030, unless US Congress decides to extend it for another thousands years! Sad but true Mickey! :(

[@lynntower8111]

I loved the Tiki-Tiki-Tiki room song!!! Disneyland has many good memories for me!!

[@theadventuresofdjninigret3684]

Happy Birthday Disneyland, my daughter turned 12 on the 17th too! Lol :-)

[@Fangzthewolf]

Claiming copyright on happy birthday is a good example of everything that is wrong with the copyright system.

I love when they sung Miracles with Molecules.

Happy Birthday Disneyland !

[@haleyglidden3342]

I'm sure Walt would be saddened at the fact that its so hard for families now a days to even afford Disneyland :/

[@brattenhugo5643]

Oh my, all of them with their arms up in the air...endlessly hanging there...even King Louie looked so awkward and confused, lol.

[@melshane23]

Yep, saw that, King Louie was like, can I put my arms down now. LOL!! :)

[@JackKendall]

It was the announcers fault, he was crap, he missed sooo many cues! Cinderella had enough of it before everyone else!

[@headfangs]

KZbin is SERIOUSLY claiming copyright for Happy Birthday now?!

[@InsideTheMagic]

Yeah. Pretty terrible. Thankfully it was only a short part of the ceremony, albeit an important one.

[@Holobrine]

Isn't it in the public domain? Wikipedia says it is, but of course that might be wrong. If KZbin thinks Happy Birthday is ©, by whom, then?

[@bandicootcollector]

headfangs It's been claimed as copyright for years and years, unfortunately. A group of girl scouts once had to pay copyright charges after they sung it aloud at a birthday party.

[@dezzyc4197]

The song is owned by the Warner brothers you have to have license to use the song

[@headfangs]

+Shaun Tuazon LOL yes! I immediately thought of this video when I heard the news, hahaha.

[@snooopyland]

I don't know...I think the cast members are stressed or nervous about this day. I lot of them don't remember the dance moves. Cinderella's Prince Charming didn't know his moves.

[@DisWldFrk90]

My favorite is "Tomorrow"

[@TaylorSiebers]

Crying when Walt Disney's opening day speech comes on is normal right?

AUDIO EXPLANATION?!

[@DisWldFrk90]

Dude, is happy birthday seriously copyrighted?? Who the heck owns that song!

[@DisWldFrk90]

I actually just looked it up. Warner/Chappell Music owns it and it won't be eligible for public domain until 2030. They're apparently really strict about it too, so it's a wonder every youtube video with that song doesn't get taken down. I mistakenly thought it was already public domain!

[@Johnny17369]

Looks like his microphone (Marks) was not working properly. Or the rendering did not go very well. Disney's audio is fine.

[@InsideTheMagic]

It was the microphone that was the problem. We were plugged into Disney's audio feed.

[@KoraggRules]

The show was great but please fix that audio…it's nails on a chalkboard with someone wearing headphones

[@TooCooFoYou]

You know, for one of the anniversaries i hope someone would sing Disney Girls (1957).

“What would an a cappella group be without and accompanist?!” Um... an a cappella group, you know, by definition. IMO, a better question is what would an a cappella group be with an accompanist?

Happy 59th anniversary Disneyland!!!!

[@ddc163264]

How can there be a copyright on "Happy Birthday" Song. What we all need to pay somebody now for everybody birthday parties?

[@captainakron27]

Someone please name all 59 characters? Great video btw. Thank you #ITM

[@bullmonty764]

It just hit me: If they do this every year, why don't they take the opportunity to unleash a barrage of rare characters? I mean, they can keep Mickey and his friends, and some of the others too, but how about characters like Roger Rabbit, Scrooge McDuck, Oliver, Dodger, and Georgette, Kim Possible, and so much more?!

[@landsquireel1797]

It's kind of annoying that we couldn't hear the happy birthday because of stupid copyright . I really wish I could have gone that day! It looks like it was really fun!❤

[@sorcerermickeyfanguy6271]

I agree but you can sing like what you always hear in the past
