You’ll get to “have a good time pleased” with limited-time leisure, colourful décor, themed meals & drinks, and a lot extra!
A type of “and a lot extra” issues is merchandise. No Disney anniversary celebration is full with out souvenirs, so let’s bounce proper into 4 all-new collections and much more which might be positive to please. And that is just the start! Along with these collections, there can be new drops arriving all through the year-long Disneyland seventieth Anniversary celebration.
Kicking off this reveal is the Celebration Assortment.

And accessible at choose places all through Disneyland Resort can be all-new Pandora bracelet charms impressed by Sleeping Magnificence Citadel, the Disneyland brand, and Tinker Bell.
When it comes to commentary about these items, I don’t have a complete lot to say. Merchandise isn’t actually my factor, neither is vogue. Which is patently apparent for those who’ve ever seen a photograph of me. What I do know is that a number of of those collections–Vault, Citadel and Celebration–are similar to these from Walt Disney World’s fiftieth Anniversary.
There’s additionally plenty of overlap by way of particular designs. Disney appears to have ditched the Luxe Assortment, a sensible transfer provided that plenty of these “upscale” and expensive items ended up on the not-so-luxurious Character Warehouse Outlet for pennies on the greenback after the anniversary was over (nonetheless not low-cost sufficient for me–I don’t assume pricing was the first subject with these merchandise). A number of different fiftieth stuff additionally ended up being deeply discounted, however that was extra on account of provide chain points and the stock not arriving on cabinets till nearer to the anniversary ending than its begin.
That downside most likely received’t repeat itself with the Disneyland seventieth Anniversary merchandise. We’ve already began to see stuff present up on cabinets and it’s, uh, actually one thing. Generally I ponder whether Disney merchandise’s target market is people who find themselves colorblind. Once more, I’m not the very best choose; my “type” is apparent polos. However this merchandise could be very vibrant and really loud. Cool for many who can pull it off, I suppose, however that almost all undoubtedly isn’t me! I’m hoping there are a number of tasteful designs within the Vault or Walt Disney Nostalgia collections.
For these in search of an all-new interactive expertise created only for the seventieth Celebration, company can ‘unlock the magic’ inside every of Disneyland’s 9 lands with the Key to Disneyland! With the Key to Disneyland, company can embark on an journey and activate particular options whereas visiting seventieth Anniversary lock stations in every land of Disneyland park.
Discover a seventieth Celebration Key to Disneyland lock station in every of those places:

Better part, the important thing saves your progress permitting you to unlock lands at your leisure over the course of the seventieth anniversary celebration — all in at some point or unfold all through your go to.
This jogs my memory plenty of “portals” that Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea have completed for previous anniversaries. These have been elaborate statues or kiosks (pictured above and beneath) situated across the park that work together with particular items of merchandise–normally a wand or Mickey-shaped gadget, with light-up results and so forth.
It’s attention-grabbing–however unsurprising–that Disneyland went this route versus making it a MagicBand+ characteristic as Walt Disney World did with its fiftieth Anniversary statues. Maybe Disney is lastly realizing that they’ll’t make fetch occur, and needs one thing that’ll really promote to Disneyland locals.
Collectors of Disneyland merchandise can even discover happiness with the Disneyland Resort seventieth Medallion Assortment. Obtainable for buy all through Disneyland Resort as people or in bundles of 4, the two-sided medallions characteristic park icons, sights, characters and extra. Followers can anticipate 70 new designs, together with specialty releases and ranging kinds all through the seventieth celebration whereas provides final.
In the end, it appears like there can be one thing for everybody with the Disneyland seventieth Anniversary merchandise collections. I’d hazard a guess that 90% of these items received’t be to my preferences, which is completely comprehensible since center age dudes who put on boring polos are most likely not the target market.
I hardly ever purchase merchandise and that development received’t change even when there’s quite a bit that I find yourself liking right here. The one different “notice” I’ll provide on that is that I hope the Vault and Nostalgia collections drop the “resort.” This isn’t the seventieth Anniversary of Disneyland Resort. It’s the seventieth Anniversary of Disneyland, Walt Disney’s authentic magic kingdom.
