Disneyland 70th anniversary offers new entertainment options
Disney Live Entertainment's Susana Tubert spoke with Gxstocks on June 5, 2025, about reaction to new Disneyland 70th anniversary offerings and storytelling that goes into the projects.
Disneyland Park is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and the company that started the magic is sharing details about its economic impact in the U.S.
Disney parks coast-to-coast generate nearly $67 billion annually and support more than 400,000 direct and indirect jobs, according to a new report prepared by Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics.
"Disney defines the themed entertainment business in America, and our presence is felt across the country," Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, said in a statement. "Our destinations create economies far beyond the gates of our parks, and when we invest in the groundbreaking experiences that only Disney can deliver, growth follows."
In central Florida, that means one out of every eight jobs can be attributed to Disney, the company said. Statewide, one out of every 32 jobs.

With the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration came a slew of new entertainment offerings, including daytime and nighttime parades, fireworks, projections and waterworks.
