A few new lines of Disneyland 70th merchandise have been announced.

One of the most interesting pieces of merchandise is the Key to Disneyland. This is a larger “key” that can be used to unlock the 9 lands of Disneyland to reveal a hidden keepsake pin inside the key. There are 9 pins possible. The lands can be unlocked in one visit, or over multiple visits as your progress is saved between visits. All 9 lands must be unlocked sometime during the 70th to get the pin. – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disneyland/key-to-disneyland/

A piece of good and bad news was reported by The Garner Holt Foundation on Instagram. One of the Red Car Trolleys has been donated to the foundation to support their mission of helping students discover STEM and STEAM careers. The bad news is that this means that it is likely not coming back at DCA. – https://www.instagram.com/p/DIFBaXARVYm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I know we are a Disneyland podcast, but I feel that we need to talk about the dragons, monsters, wizards, turtle shells and banana peels in the room… This week, influencers were invited by Universal Studios to experience their new theme park in Florida – Epic Universe. We have been watching the videos of their experiences and it looks absolutely amazing! What they have done seems Disney level good. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrg59ZOTlhY

Once again the outside world crept into the Happiest Place on Earth at the parking structure. There was a car fire at the Pixar Pals parking structure around 9:45am on April 4th. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/04/04/fire-breaks-out-in-disneyland-parking-structure/#more-1022446
