Anaheim, California – In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Disneyland has announced an exciting release of point of view (POV) videos featuring ten of its most popular attractions, five themed lands, and three breathtaking nighttime spectaculars, all set to premiere on Disney+ on July 17, 2025.
The collection will include classic attractions such as the haunted and mysterious Haunted Mansion, the adventurous Pirates of the Caribbean, and the thrilling Indiana Jones Adventure. Other exciting attractions featured will be the exhilarating Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the adventurous Jungle Cruise, and the enchanting Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Over at Disney California Adventure, fans can experience POV videos of the fast-paced Radiator Springs Racers, the hair-raising Incredicoaster, the scenic Soarin’ Around the World, and the fun-filled Pixar Pal-A-Round.
The themed land videos will also take viewers on immersive walkthroughs of beloved areas such as Mickey’s ToonTown, Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland, Cars Land, Avengers Campus, and Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure. The release will culminate in stunning nighttime shows, including the creatively captivating “Wondrous Journeys” fireworks show and the Paint the Night parade at Disneyland, along with the mesmerizing “World of Color Happiness” water show at Disney California Adventure.
This release follows the earlier launch of POV videos of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and the ride Rise of the Resistance, which debuted in conjunction with the unofficial Star Wars holiday on May 4. The new POV videos will showcase the enchanting experience of Disneyland parks, capturing the magic and creativity that have characterized the park for seven decades.
Each POV video is produced with high-quality standards by Disney, offering a distinct viewing experience as they were filmed during park closures, allowing viewers to witness the attractions without the usual crowds. This differs significantly from commonly shared user-generated content found on platforms such as YouTube. For example, the Rise of the Resistance POV video lasts 14 minutes and includes detailed depictions of the full ride experience, including pre-show scenes and the thrilling motion simulator. The Galaxy’s Edge POV tour is slightly shorter at 13 minutes, featuring captivating encounters with character favorites such as Rey, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren, and stormtroopers in the empty park setting.
The release of these videos serves as a digital promotion to make Disneyland accessible to fans who may currently be unable to visit the parks in person. This initiative not only enhances the overall Disney experience but also emphasizes the park’s legacy. Disney has stated that these videos serve to highlight 70 years of innovations and storytelling in the parks, bringing the spirit of Disneyland to homes around the world.
The upcoming launch promises to attract both Disney enthusiasts and newcomers alike, creating an opportunity to engage with Disneyland’s rich history and beloved attractions in a novel way. As the community gears up for this milestone celebration, fans can look forward to reliving the magic and excitement of Disneyland from the convenience of their own homes.
