Disney’s “Walk of Magical Memories” Discontinued

Disney’s “Walk of Magical Memories” Program Update

February 2011

Over the last 11 years, Disney’s “Walk of Magical Memories,” the personalized commemorative paving stones between the main entrances to Disneyland® and Disney California Adventure™ parks, have offered guests an opportunity to be a part of Disneyland Resort history. As we continue to evaluate our offerings throughout the Resort, we have made the decision to no longer continue the Disney’s “Walk of Magical Memories” program. Beginning February 28, 2011, the Disneyland® Resort will no longer offer sponsorship of a Disney’s “Walk of Magical Memories” paving stone. Existing stones will continue to receive general maintenance, as necessary.
