Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary is finally here, and that means there are SO many new offerings to explore around the parks.

Sleeping Beauty Castle for the 70th Anniversary Celebration

There are lots of new snacks to enjoy (over 70!), new entertainment offerings to delight in, and so much more. One of the most intriguing new offerings available is called the Key to Disneyland, and we got to be one of the first to check it out!

The Key to Disneyland interactive experience becomes publicly available on May 16th. You’ll embark on a journey to unlock the magic around Disneyland, and get a special keepsake once you’ve completed the journey!

The official storyline behind the experience is that Disneyland has been collecting magic for seven decades and now Mickey Mouse needs your help to unlock the festivities for the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration! You’ll purchase the key at one of the participating shops in Disneyland Park, or at World of Disney in the Downtown Disney District (full list of shops to come), and then make your way around the park looking for the 70th Celebration lock station in each land.

Once you’ve unlocked all the magic in all nine lands in Disneyland Park, you’ll head to find the Mickey Topiary Finale lock station by the entrance to Disneyland Park (near the Newsstand and tunnel) to unlock even more surprises, which include one of nine commemorative trading pins.

This experience can be done at your own pace throughout the celebration, so it doesn’t all need to be done in one day! Your key will save your progress, so you can pick up where you left off on a different day. If you’re trying to make sure you get them all, the locations for each lock are below:

• Disneyland Fire Station
• Aladdin’s Lamp inside Adventureland Bazaar
• New Orleans Square
• Outside of Pooh Corner
• Across from Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
• Wilderness Expeditions and Delivery Service Wagon in Frontierland
• Across from Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin
• Fantasy Faire
• Near the exit of Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

A look at all of the pins together!

The key itself is $59.99 and available for purchase now. It’s an interesting interactive element but will only work for during the 70th Anniversary celebrations as far as we know. Looking for more recent Disneyland Resort news? Check out our posts below!
