Tapestry of Happiness

Tapestry of Happiness is a sleeper hit of the Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration bringing an absolutely adorable projection show to the facade of the iconic “it’s a small world” attraction. Featuring homages to both Disneyland attractions and Disney characters, this colorful spectacle had us swooning and tapping our feet at the same time.

The entire aesthetic for the show is a charming tribute to the art stylings of Mary Blair whose creative input during her time with the company influenced countless projects including “it’s a small world” itself. The show is a visual love letter to 70 years of the Happiest Place on Earth with nods to several fan favorites and a collage of visual and audio callbacks including:

Main Street Electrical Parade
Magic Happens Parade (specifically the Moana unit and “How Fare I’ll Go”)
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (“Dig a Little Deeper”)
Pirates of the Caribbean (“Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A Pirate’s Life for Me”)
Big Thunder Mountain
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room
Carousel of Progress (featuring Sherman Brothers and “A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow”)
Fantasmic! (no dragon here either)
Fantasyland attractions (“Once Upon a Dream”)
Peter Pan’s Flight (“You Can Fly!”)
Rise of the Resistance
Alice in Wonderland
Haunted Mansion (“Grim Grinning Ghosts”)
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride (“Hell Fire”)
A tribute to past attractions including PeopleMover, RocketRods, Skyway, Flying Saucers, and more (“Remember Me”)
“it’s a small world” both opens and closes the nostalgic rewind
The show bookends the start and end of its soundtrack with 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. Visuals include many more iconic Disney experiences from the past 70 years.

Filmed at 1:30 p.m. on Friday May 16, 2025 at Disneyland.
