Key to Disneyland – Available Starting May 16, 2025​

Embark on a journey to unlock magical surprises—including a special keepsake—during the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration!

---

Seek Surprises from Land to Land​

For nearly 70 years, the lands of Disneyland Parkhave been collecting magic—and Mickey Mouse needs your help to unlock the festivities for the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration.

With the Key to Disneyland, you’ll unleash hidden magic in each land. Plus, unlock a commemorative trading pin at the end of your journey!

How It Works

1. Purchase your Key to Disneyland at select shops in Disneyland Park or at World of Disney in the Downtown Disney District.
2. Explore Disneyland Park, looking for the 70th Celebration lock station in each land. Insert your Key to Disneyland into each lock to reveal an icon, light effect and music for that land on your key.
3. Unlock magic in all 9 lands in Disneyland Park. Upon completion, find the Mickey Topiary Finale lock station by the entrance to Disneyland Park (near the Newsstand and tunnel), where your key will unlock more surprises—including 1 of 9 commemorative trading pins!

Lock Station Locations

Find a 70th Celebration lock station in each of these locations:

• Disneyland Fire Station on Main Street, U.S.A.
• Aladdin’s Lamp inside Adventureland Bazaar in Adventureland
• In New Orleans Square
• Outside of Pooh Corner in Bayou Country
• Across from Star Wars: Rise of the Resistancein Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
• Wilderness Expeditions and Delivery Service Wagon (near the entrance to Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge) in Frontierland
• Across from Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin in Mickey’s Toontown
• Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland
• Near the exit of Buzz Lightyear Astro Blastersin Tomorrowland

Play at Your Own Pace

This activity can be completed at your leisure, during the course of the 70th Celebration. Unlock all the magic in one day—or spread out the fun across multiple park days. The key will save your progress, so you can pick up where you left off.

They show a picture of a child holding the key. I wonder what age their target audience is. I can see it being like popcorn buckets with a bunch of adults running around the park with keys around their neck.

And you know the pin collectors will want to collect all 9 pins. Does that mean they need to purchase at least nine of these keys?

I can't get any link to work? Does it say how much it costs? That key is HUGE!
My kids would enjoy this.

There are bubbles in the picture. I wonder if it blows bubbles as well. They definitely need a lanyard for it.

No price listed. But I admit I'm tempted to do it, without my kids in tow

I wonder if the picture is a general bubble wand they'll sell for the 70th or if part of actual key program for trading pin sets advertised on link.
*otherwise like mentioned people will buy 9+ of those to try and collect all pins

Oh totally. The influencers will be elbowing the kids out of the way to get the quest finished the first day (edited to add. More like in the first hour of release. It’s always a race who reports on it first!) and then will buy more keys to get all of the commemorative pins. Just watch.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

This is literally what Magic Bands were made for

When I first started reading it I assumed that it would be a magic band interactive thing. It would be a (good) way to get more guests to purchase them.

 

[wendlle]

I just hope they’re not insanely priced
My kids can share if they are

If it was I would buy one...but buy something that only works for a year? No Thanks

Universal is much smarter about this kinda stuff the Wands have as much use if not more in the HP area then before and Disney is over here ignoring Magic Bands and making those feel like just a waste of money

And yet another cash grab for powers that be....just wish they would funnel some of that toy-popcorn bucket-trinket money back into some entertainment....
Please surprise us with a summer show at the Hyperion....

I’d be happy for them to use the space for ANYTHING at this point
If not a show put some meet and greets in there - something! Anything!!

Very unlikely to happen. I fully expect the Hyperion to be razed in any future update of that area.
