People have been complaining about not enough entertainment. It looks like entertainment is now being offered in every land.

I edited this to add the Carthay Circle projections. They start at 8:30 pm and run every 30 min until park closing. I think we were the only people waiting to see them. Maybe 10 people stopped to watch the 2 minute show. Everyone else kept walking.

@Tinkaboo when is your trip? I saw a nice supply of pens & mints in DTD and at the DLH. I did not see any post-its or postcard books.

 

[Tinkaboo]

My trip is June 14-17...I really hope they get the paper items restocked by then!b
I do appreciate you keeping me apprised of the situation...if I dont get everything this trip, there's always September, December, February...

I wouldn't bank on there being as much 70th in Sept. or Dec. They are already stocking Halloween merchandise.

 

[Tinkaboo]

Geez...REALLY??!? It's MAY for cripes sake....August is soon enough for this nonsense...yep, everyone knows by now that Halloween is NOT MY FAVORITE holiday...I'm only going this year because it might be my last MK year so I'm doing it all...

Well, if I don't get my post-its, it won't be the end of the world...I'm getting over my FOMO now...

 

[LAS2AMS]

@LKing correct me if I’m wrong but I think so far it’s limited to Nightmare Before Christmas.

At least I know what souvenirs my kids will want now!

Yep, just NBC and not a lot of displays. But the display shelves were 70th last week.

Do they do the Carthay projections at park close, at 10pm? Or just the 3 times? With the way the entertainment is, I would probably only be able to see the 10 on my way into to the 10:15 World of Color. Otherwise it’ll be YouTube for me.

I'm not sure. It was very difficult to find the times. The people who were most knowledgeable were the hostesses at Carthay Circle.

It is nothing like Tapestry of Happiness. It is 2 min of a tiny Tinkerbell flying along with light patterns, different colors & stars to the tune of Celebrate Happy.

 

[LAS2AMS]

That’s two more minutes of The Jonas Brothers than I can handle haha.

Yeah, I was quite disappointed in this - it's not worth waiting for or planning around, in my opinion (while Tapestry of Happiness is)

I know there is no way of knowing this, but I’m going to ask anyway. Perhaps those that remember past anniversaries can weigh in. How likely is it that they will still have a ton of 70th merch in April 2026? That’s when we are coming for our first DLR trip and I’m hoping they keep restocking a majority of the items.

I ask because I know that they’ll be dropping merch online on June 9th. I already plan to buy ears and a couple other things I have my heart set on if I see them. But I’d hate to miss out on some stuff because our trip is not at the beginning of the celebration.

The chances of them having a wide selection of 70th merchandise is very likely. Especially the core Celebration Collection. The precedence based on past recent celebrations is that there are several collections that the assortment of items changes and evolves as the celebration goes on. Walt Disney World’s 50th had several collections that most closely parallel Disneyland’s 70th (Vault, Castle, etc.). These off shoot collections might have a different merchandise by April. But the Celebration Collection should stay pretty static for the 16ish months of the celebration.

Thanks! I actually went to WDW’s 50th, but that was a bit of an outlier because of Covid. When we went, supply chain issues caused some merch to be scarce. Obviously, that isn’t the issue now. But to be on the safe side, I’ll pick up some items online if I can. That will spread out my spending anyway.

Can anyone recommend a good spot to watch Tapestry of Happiness without having to get there super early? We do have the Fantasmic package booked for one night, not sure if we should be trying to catch it after that?

Tapestry of Happiness is only projected on the facade of IASW. The times we've seen it, there has not been a major crowd and it's been fairly easy to walk up and get a decent view. This may be different if you wanted a view from the front railing, of course. It's projected several times a night and in general the later it is the less crowded it will be. For instance, the last showing tomorrow night is at 11:45 PM.

 

[LKing]

Tapestry of Happiness is a 5 min show. I agree that it isn't as crowded as the parade or fireworks and the later you go, the more empty it will be. If you want to get close and take a video or pictures, stand slightly to the right or left of center so that the dolphin topiary and box (not sure what it is) isn't in your way.
