Disneyland 70th speculations and news

[LAS2AMS]

There are people who bought many 79th Key for the pin and then gave the key away. Wonder how many people will buy tons of Happy Meals and do the same?

Some McDonald's will also sell you the toy without a HM purchase. Back in the early 90's it was $1. I saw a FB reel not too long ago and the person bough toys for $3/toy.

For those that didn't see, Disneyland released their 2026 calendar today. https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/disneyland-resort-2026-calendar-events-and-offers/

Regarding the 70th, they shared that the celebration will end on August 9, 2026.

PTN, Celebrate Happy Cavalcade, Wondrous Journeys, and the 70th character costumes will return in January.

I saw the posting of event for 2026 and notably missing is Season of the Force. Does this mean there won’t be one this year? Makes sense especially after the reduced Star Wars night.

Appreciate you reporting this!

Now just waiting to see if this returns on the 8th (day after Holiday season is over). I'm sure PTN won't, but want to see the Cavalcade and 70th character costumes.

I think the characters will go back to their 70th costumes immediately. They ran the cavalcade for M&M's birthday, so I think they are ready to go.

When it runs, are the times on the app?

The cavalcade? Yes, it is on the app. I think it ran at 1:30 pm and 2:45 pm before Halloween.

On Dec 2, McDonalds’s is launching a Disneyland Happy Meal in honor of the 70th. There will be 70 toys.

Who’s collecting?

Went to McD's for lunch and got a happy meal. I got the classic castle and Mickey Mouse. The top 2 that I wanted. I was so sure I'd get the Marvel characters that I have no clue who they are.

This isn’t exactly news, but finally saw Tapestry of Happiness last weekend and I really loved it. Like “will make it a priority to get back regularly” loved it— it’s total fan service for those of us who fondly remember and love Disneyland in the 80s (and probably before, but I only date back to the 80s) and it’s only 5 minutes.

You do need to be cool with the Jonas brothers Celebrate Happy theme though (which I also love).

Lol, in my top five Spotify songs this year... it really got my daughter up and moving her butt to get ready for school in the mornings, and it's pretty short, so would get a few repeats!

Wow, top tier picks! Lucky!

PTN isn’t returning until Jan 30! I guess when they said it would be back in January they (barely) meant it.

Partly because they need to remove the garland over Main Street because the Frozen float won't fit with it up. Though I expected it for MLK weekend.

lol, wow that sucks

Like they can get the decorations down within a week and should be back by the time Lunar New Years starts but Disney does like to save money

I don't like how Disneyland cuts entertainment.

Pixar Pals not returning. PtN will run to early August and then I guess it will transition to the holiday offerings.

Magic Happens, an excellent parade remains on ice.

Pixar Pals is being changed to Bluey, which is super popular with the age group that this targets.
