Disneyland has a long tradition of painting names on the Main Street, U.S.A. windows that credit some of the theme park's major contributors to its success and creation. The tradition of the windows was started by Walt Disney and continues to serve as a tribute to Disney Legends who have had an impact on Disneyland.

That's Disneyland's 70th anniversary and "Walt Disney — A Magical Life" will pay tribute to the big thinker who first dreamt up a joyful place that parents and kids could enjoy together. Imagineers have spent seven years creating the show, an experience that includes actual words spoken by Walt Disney.

People in matching Disneyland outfits — head-to-toe blue, sparkly skirts, glittering Conductor Mickey hats — poured into the theater. I expected every seat to be taken, but because the park had implemented a virtual queue that limited attendance, there were plenty of open spots.

A Main Street U.S.A. window at Disneyland is one of the highest honors awarded by the Walt Disney Company — a tradition started by Walt Disney himself. Lillian Disney has been previously honored at Disneyland with the Lilly Belle parlor car on the Disneyland Railroad and a petrified tree along the Rivers of America in Frontierland.

The chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products talks to THR about the impact the Anaheim park had on immersive entertainment on its 70th anniversary, and what the next evolution may be.
