McDonald’s new Disneyland Happy Meal has a secret feature parents need to know about

If you thought McDonald’s couldn’t top its usual Happy Meal toy set, think again. The fast food giant just launched a massive collaboration with Disneyland Resort to celebrate the theme park’s 70th anniversary, and collectors (and parents) are going to lose.

Since December 2, McDonald’s has been selling out its Happy Meal for the Disneyland Resort’s 70th Anniversary Celebration, and here’s where it gets interesting: Every Happy Meal comes with two toys instead of one. We’re talking Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars characters: 70 toys in total, with 35 different pairs to collect. My toddler has a Chewbacca toy that has accompanied him to every (and I mean every) meal he has had since we bought him.

Yes, you read that correctly. If your kid (or, let’s be real, you) wants to catch them all, you’re looking at a real McDonald’s run. The two-toy configuration means each Happy Meal delivers twice the excitement, whether you’re Team Mickey Mouse or Baby Yoda.

But the real kicker? There is a hidden digital component that most people will miss. Each Happy Meal includes a QR code that unlocks virtual maze-style adventures throughout Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Children can explore certain areas of the parks from home, collecting festive items and characters along the way. It’s basically a mini virtual Disneyland experience while you wait for your fries.

This collaboration marks a major milestone for Disneyland Resort, which opened 70 years ago and has been “the happiest place on earth” ever since. Now, some of that magic is coming to McDonald’s locations nationwide for a limited time.

Just a warning: this won’t last forever. McDonald’s is clear that the promotion is running “while supplies last,” which, in Happy Meal parlance, means they’ll probably disappear faster than you can say “I’ll have ten.” Consider this your sign to head to McDonald’s before these collectibles are gone for good.
