The media giant's stock hit fresh 52-week highs in each of the last three trading days in June

It's summertime, but Disney isn't taking a vacation

There are plenty of things happening at the House of Mouse that could keep the s moving sharply higher for the third consecutive month

There will be new theme park attractions and a potential rebirth of an iconic Marvel franchise

Let's take a look at some dates that Disney investors will be watching in July

July 17 Disneyland turns 70 on July 17

The original Disney theme park began celebrating its meaty milestone back in May, but it has a few new experiences that will debut on its actual birthday

A notable addition in two weeks will be the debut of Walt Disney -- A Magical Life, a new attraction at the Main Street Opera House that will feature the world's first audio-animatronic figure bearing the ness of Walt Disney himself

The park's classic It's a Small World boat ride will also introduce a new verse to the song that plays throughout the experience

The theme parks were a major contributor

The operator of the world's most visited theme parks knows how to milk a milestone

Even though the Disneyland re began celebrating its historic anniversary in May, it plans for the festivities to continue into next summer

With new shows, attractions, and merchandise, this pivotal in Disney's diversified empire should keep growing through the next few quarters

July 22 It's not just Disneyland introducing new experiences

Disney World on the other coast is officially reopening an d version of its Test Track ride at Epcot in three weeks

The features the same layout that culminates in riders in six-passenger cars circling around the attraction building at speeds up to nearly 65 miles per hour

Disney World won't have a major new ride opening this summer

With rival Comcast opening Epic Universe at its nearby Universal Orlando re, there's no point in matching a shiny new park with 11 new rides and countless more experiences

Florida's massive Disney re will bide its time, making sure it keeps attracting its loyal audience before introducing potentially bar-raising new rides in the next few years

There is room for more than one winner in Central Florida, and Disney is always playing the long game with an ambitious slate of upcoming e-ticket experiences

July 25 It's been a year of highs and lows for Disney on the multiplex front

However, it also has had some high-file flops in the -action spin on Snow White and Pixar's release, Elio

The second half of the year has a more mising slate, culminating in Avatar: Fire and Ash hitting theaters over the holidays

The first two Avatar films are among the world's three highest-grossing films

It's fair to say that this will ly be another box office success

Disney still has a slate of movies to put out before then, and its next major release is The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Disney has put out three different films tethered to the Marvel franchise over the last two dozen years with two different casts

Unfortunately, the worldwide ticket sales for each subsequent film have been lower than the previous installment

It's hoping to change its luck with a new cast, director, and apach this month

Director Mark Shakman has excelled largely on the small screen, though he has directed episodes of WandaVision and Game of Thrones that excel in cinematic action sequences

The cast is also primed for success, already set to appear in the next wave of Marvel's Avengers movies

Summer is a big time for action films, but if The Fantastic Four: First Steps stumbles and falls, Disney's studio has other films ready to take the next step
