How Disney And Coca-Cola Developed An Out Of This World Marketing Campaign
In 1955 Walt Disney himself enlisted Coca-Cola to help finance the then-gigantic $17 million construction cost of his first theme park, Disneyland. In return, the beverage giant became a soft drinks supplier at the Californian park and has also occupied this slot at its counterpart, Walt Disney World in Florida, since its ornate iron gates swung open in 1971.

Here are some of the top reasons you should add H2O Glow to their summer 2019 bucket list.
1. Enjoy More Attractions and Spend Less Time Waiting
Going to an after-hours party at Disney guarantees a smaller crowd and shorter wait times. H2O Glow Nights are no different. With all of the Typhoon Lagoon attractions open throughout the night, the only question is which attraction to visit first.
2. Experience Typhoon Lagoon In A New Light
“Magical” is the first word that comes to mind when describing the lighting effects used to put the glow in H2O Glow Nights. From the colorful ice cubes in the drinks to the neon hula hoops on the dance floor, any true Disney fan will appreciate the details that make this event so unique.
3. Meet Favorite Characters From “Toy Story”
If you haven’t gotten a chance to meet Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie – this is their chance! And what’s more, rumor has it, Forky, from the all-new movie, “Toy Story 4,” will be making an appearance at H2O Glow Nights. You heard it here first!
4. Explore Our Adults-Only Venue
H2O Glow Nights truly has something for everyone- including adults! Designed with adult partygoers in mind, “The Wharf” features special entertainment and a bar. Glowritas anyone?

You will want to come hungry to this event! The menu items at H2O Glow Nights are photogenic, delicious and themed to compliment the glow party atmosphere. From the Western Beef Brisket Dish to the Buzz Blaster, it’s hard to choose a favorite!
6. Show Off Your Dance Moves
By day, the sandy beaches of Typhoon Lagoon are perfect for soaking up the sun and scoping out the Surf Pool. By night, the beaches transform into a high-energy DJ-hosted dance party you won’t want to miss.
7. Purchase Exclusive Glow-In-The-Dark Merchandise
What better way to commemorate the H2O Glow Nights experience than taking home a piece of the party. Our exclusive new merchandise collection includes a glow-in-the-dark T-shirt and a Tervis tumbler and features artwork inspired by the event.
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park Reopens with Stunning Enhancements
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland® Park is now open after a months-long refurbishment, and it’s more beautiful than ever! The beloved icon now features vibrant new colors, a new roof and charming and subtle pixie dust, among other enhancements.
Over the years, the colors and finishes on Sleeping Beauty Castle have been refreshed and updated since Disney Legend and Imagineering Artist Herb Ryman first created the concept illustration of the castle in the 1950s.
“What’s interesting about this time is that we used an ages-old painting technique called atmospheric perspective to visually heighten the castle,” said Kim Irvine, art director at Walt Disney Imagineering. “We warmed the pink hues on the lower towers and gradually added blue to lighten the colors toward the top.”
The same technique was used for the new roof, now with gorgeous cobalt hues. Each of the 18 original turrets was digitally scanned to create the same roofline, and pixie dust was sprinkled on the center roof.
“We focused the golden accents and pixie dust around the entrance to the castle, as though it has been magically enchanted,” said Irvine. Colorful banners, pennants and landscaping also were included, and the Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough received new paint and lighting.
To celebrate the reopening, the Disneyland Resort made a donation to Ryman Arts, a charity founded in Herb Ryman’s memory, and planted a dwarf fir tree in his honor. The “Ryman Tree” recalls a Christmas tree that belonged to Herb Ryman the last year of his life that was once planted near the castle after his passing.
