We’re “Celebrating Happy” at the Disneyland Resort as it honors its 70th anniversary!
Sleeping Beauty Castle for the 70th Anniversary Celebration
The celebration runs into the summer of 2026, marking a year of festivities such as special ride additions, the return of fan-favorite parades and shows, and so much more! There are even some interactive MagicBand+ elements that we got to experience FIRSTHAND!
Guests with a MagicBand+ can explore Disneyland Park as they set out on a quest to find interactive 70th Anniversary MagicBand+ experiences that yield souvenirs and/or surprises! We tested these out ourselves, and we’re sharing what to expect with YOU!
Over at the Main Street Cinema, you can head to Tilly’s Booth to tap your MagicBand+ for a special surprise!

Once you tap your band, you will be issued your very own ticket for “Celebrating 70 Magical Year at Disneyland.” We are starting off our ticket collection strong! Our ticket said, “Valued Magic Key Holder” and a Cast Member mentioned that there are also options for Club 33 and DVC to be printed, but we don’t know what a regular ticket would say if you were a Magic Key Holder, Club 33 member, or DVC member.

On the back, it says, “Admit One” and “A New Verse, A Tribute to the Sherman Brothers.” We had a great time visiting Tilly, but it is time to make our way to the next stop!

Next up, we stopped by the Frontierland Booth at Silber Spur Supplies. This MagicBand+ activation has THREE touchpoints, and of course, we are checking them all out.

The first touchpoint printed us off a ticket for Mark Twain’s Riverboat.

The next one printed off a ticket for the Disneyland Railroad.

And the final one, printed off a ticket for the Golden Horseshoe Revue. Each time you get a ticket, a fun little audio clip also plays, so make sure to keep your ears open!

Our collection of tickets is growing! Time to head over to our next stop.
We made our way over to the Skipper Lockers at Jungle Cruise to find the next MagicBand+ activation.

Tap your MagicBand+ on the touchpoint and you will receive a little ticket for your riverboat cruise.
Riverboat Cruise Ticket
Each ticket tells you which boat you will be traveling aboard and even includes which crew you will be a part of. Each crew has a meaning, so don’t forget to ask a Skipper what your crew means once you get your ticket! You will also find your crew on one of the lockers.

Now that we have grabbed our riverboat cruise ticket, let’s head over to our next stop!
The Fantasyland Window activation has five different touchpoints that opens up shields in the display to show diorama scenes of different characters and attractions in Fantasyland. There is a diorama that shows Snow White and the Evil Queen, Mad Hatter and Dormouse, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, and the King Arthur Carrousel.
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride
Unlike the first three activations, you don’t receive any sort of ticket with these interactions. Tapping your MagicBand+ just opens up one of the dioramas and you get to watch a short display. They are still a lot of fun, though, and it is pretty cool to tap your MagicBand+ to start a little show.
Evil Queen
There is one last location for MagicBand+ activations; however, it wasn’t available when we stopped by. But we still want to tell you a bit about it!
Unfortunately, the Autotopia interaction was not installed yet, so we were unable to experience this one. Cast Members in the area did not know exactly where it would be installed, but this is an additional interaction to look forward to at some point in the future! It will likely be somewhere by Autopia based on the name from Disney, but we will keep you updated as we learn more.
