Can’t make it to Disneyland? Well, now you can enjoy the Happiest Place on Earth from the comfort of your own home. In celebration of the Disneyland Resort’s 70th anniversary, Disney+ is offering subscribers a way to explore iconic lands and rides at Disneyland and California Adventure through POV videos.
Sure, nothing can beat the feeling of being at Disneyland—the excitement and energy; the sights and sounds; and the proximity to Dole whips, corn dogs, popcorn, and giant pickles and turkey legs—but if you need your Disney fix and won’t be visiting anytime soon, these videos will do the trick.
The collection of POV journeys include these attractions and themed lands:
Pirates of Caribbean
Indiana Jones Adventure
Radiator Springs Racers
Incredicoaster
Haunted Mansion
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Cars Land
Pixar Pal-A-Round
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Jungle Cruise
Soarin’ Around the World
Avengers Campus
Hollywood Land
Main Street, U.S.A.
Mickey’s Toontown
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
After I watching a few, I have to say that while it’s a fun way to “experience” the rides, you don’t quite get the thrill of being on a fast-paced attraction. But, I did notice details that I haven’t seen before, which was a fun surprise. Sometimes it’s hard to take it all in on because you’re anticipating the next drop or you’re moving so fast, so these videos are a great way to enjoy your favorite attractions from a new perspective. And it’s nice not having to wait in long lines!
In addition to the POV journeys, you can also view Disneyland’s popular nighttime show and fireworks, like the new “World of Color Happiness!”, “Wondrous Journeys,” and “Paint the Night.”
You can view all of these videos in a special Disneyland 70th Celebration collection on Disney+. And if you’re visiting the resort soon, check out our guide to the anniversary happenings here.
A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
Shares of Tylenol maker Kenvue are bouncing back sharply before the opening bell a day after President Donald Trump promoted unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
