McDonald’s Celebrates Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary With 70 Toys — Including 9 Star Wars Collectibles

gingetattoo News, star wars news, toys

McDonald’s is celebrating 70 years of the Disneyland Resort in the only appropriate way:
by dropping a massive set of 70 different Happy Meal toys, each one themed to a moment, character, or attraction from across Disneyland’s history.

Yes — 70 toys.
Yes — collectors everywhere just felt a disturbance in the Force.

But the biggest headline for us galaxy-far-far-away people?

McDonald’s included nine Star Wars toys in the lineup.

Between Disneyland history, Star Tours nostalgia, and Galaxy’s Edge hype, this crossover practically writes itself — and it’s already shaping up to be one of McDonald’s biggest collectible promotions in years.

Celebrating 70 Years of Disneyland Magic

Disneyland opened in 1955, and since then, the resort has evolved into a multi-generation dream machine full of classic attractions, land expansions, and big IP crossovers.

McDonald’s is tapping into that legacy by releasing:

  • 70 toys total
  • Each one celebrating a different attraction, land, era, or character
  • One of the widest Happy Meal collections ever produced

This isn’t just a kids’ meal promotion — it’s a full-scale nostalgia event.

The Star Wars Connection: 9 Toys, 1 Galactic Celebration

Disneyland may not be the birthplace of Star Wars, but the franchise has shaped the park for decades — from Star Tours in 1987 to Galaxy’s Edge in 2019.

So yes, it’s fitting that nine toys in the 70-piece set represent one of Disney’s biggest modern pillars.

While McDonald’s hasn’t officially revealed the full lineup yet, these toys are expected to focus on:

1. Star Tours Classics

Characters and vehicles that defined the original motion-simulator era.

2. Galaxy’s Edge Icons

Think Millennium Falcon, blue milk vibes, Batuu energy.

3. Fan-Favorite Characters

A mix of legacy heroes and modern Disney-era stars.

4. Attraction-Specific Toy Designs

Mini-vehicles, ride capsules, or stylized figures tied to Disneyland experiences.

Collectors already expect these to become instant eBay bait.

Why Fans Are Already Losing Their Minds

This promotion hits the sweet spot for three fandoms at once:

✔ Disney Parks fans

who collect every anniversary release

✔ Star Wars fans

who will always chase new merch

✔ McDonald’s collectors

who treat Happy Meal toys like rare Pokémon

And let’s be honest — dropping 70 total toys is absolutely designed to trigger the collector mentality.

Disney knows.
McDonald’s knows.
We know.
Our shelves do not know, and they are unprepared.

A Perfect Storm of Nostalgia + Marketing + Fandom

This is one of the largest cross-brand toy promotions McDonald’s has ever done, and its timing couldn’t be better.

  • Disneyland excitement? Always high.
  • Star Wars hype cycle? Eternal.
  • Collectible toy market? Thriving.
  • 70th anniversary? Perfect excuse to go big.

And with nine Star Wars toys included, this set becomes a must-have for anyone who follows the franchise from theaters to Disney Parks to their local drive-thru.

Will This Become a Collector Frenzy? Absolutely.

Expect:

  • Full sets appearing on eBay within days
  • Fans hunting specific Star Wars toys
  • Park fan groups comparing checklists
  • A surge in nostalgia articles (hello 👋)
  • TikToks ranking the toys by “vibes”
  • People buying Happy Meals they absolutely did not plan to eat

Disney and McDonald’s didn’t just launch a toy line — they launched a collecting season.

Final Thoughts: A Happy Meal for the Ages

A 70-toy lineup for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary is already a flex.

But including nine Star Wars toys elevates the entire promotion into full nerd-celebration territory.

It’s nostalgic.
It’s chaotic.
It’s perfect.

Whether you’re hunting Disneyland classics, chasing Star Tours nostalgia, or grabbing every Star Wars figure you can find, this promotion is going to be one collectors will talk about for years.

Better clear some shelf space — and maybe your calendar.
The hunt begins soon.
