Hi Melissa! Welcome to planDisney!
Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration has brought a wave of excitement to the parks, and like you, I’m especially enchanted by the new special
MagicBand+ Interactions. They add such a fun and interactive element to your visit!
I’m happy to share that any
MagicBand+ design will work with these new special features. You don’t need a band with the 70th Anniversary design to enjoy the magic. That said, there are
several new limited-edition bands created especially for the celebration. If one catches your eye, it can be a fun and festive way to mark your trip!
Your MagicBand+ will interact with special activation points located throughout the resort, each themed to one of the original five lands of Disneyland Park. Some interactions even reward you with collectible souvenir tickets, so keep your eyes peeled and try to find them all! But that’s just the beginning. Your MagicBand+ may also light up or vibrate during nighttime spectaculars like World of Color Happiness! and during classic attractions such as Haunted Mansion. It’s a small touch that adds an extra bit of magic to those memorable moments.
If you head over to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you can use your MagicBand+ to play Batuu Bounty Hunters, a scavenger hunt where you’ll track down wanted figures hidden around Black Spire Outpost. And don’t forget that your band can now be used to scan into the parks using the updated entry gates, making it even easier to start your day of Disney fun.
While you’re celebrating, don’t miss the other dazzling offerings for Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary. Paint the Night lights up Main Street, U.S.A. with a glowing cavalcade of color, and Wondrous Journeys fills the sky with fireworks and heartfelt storytelling. Over at “it’s a small world,” the nighttime projection show A Tapestry of Happiness transforms the attraction’s façade with colorful tributes to beloved experiences from across the resort.
Melissa, while a MagicBand+ isn’t essential, it adds a delightful layer of convenience and interactivity to your day. If you have any more questions or would like additional tips as you get ready for your magical adventure, we’d love to see you again at planDisney!
Wishing you an unforgettable visit,
David
