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.

Kraft Heinz is splitting into two companies a decade after they joined in a massive merger that created one of the biggest food companies on the planet. One of the companies will include brands such as Heinz, Philadelphia cream cheese and Kraft Mac & Cheese. The other will include brands like Oscar Mayer, Kraft Singles and Lunchables. When the company formed in 2015 it wanted to capitalize on its massive scale, but shifting tastes complicated those plans, with households seeking to introduce healthier options at the table. Kraft Heinz's net revenue has fallen every year since 2020.
