You’re in luck if you’ve ever dreamed of riding the Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain and Jungle Cruise all by yourself in an eerily empty Disneyland — all from the comfort of your living room couch.
Disneyland will release point of view videos of 10 attractions, five themed lands and three nighttime spectaculars on July 17 on the Disney+ streaming service in honor of the Anaheim theme park’s 70th anniversary celebration.
The Disneyland POV ride videos will include the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones Adventure, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
The Disney California Adventure POV ride videos will include Radiator Springs Racers, Incredicoaster, Soarin’ Around the World and Pixar Pal-A-Round.

The themed land videos will feature walkthroughs of Mickey’s ToonTown and Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland and Cars Land, Avengers Campus and Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure.
The 70th Anniversary Celebration Nighttime Spectaculars videos coming to Disney+ are expected to feature the “Wondrous Journeys” fireworks show and Paint the Night parade at Disneyland and “World of Color Happiness” water show at Disney California Adventure.

The new batch of Disney+ videos joins POV tours of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Rise of the Resistance already released on the streaming service on May 4 in honor of the unofficial Star Wars holiday.
POV videos of theme park attractions have long been available on YouTube from ride enthusiasts who film themselves aboard Disneyland and Disney California Adventure rides.
What sets these videos apart?
The point-of-view video shorts are professionally produced by Disney while the parks are closed and the rides and lands are empty.

The 14-minute Rise of the Resistance POV video walks briefly through the extensive attraction queue before taking viewers through the full ride experience starting with the pre-show scenes with Rey and BB-8 to the Intersystem Transport Ship motion simulator, Star Destroyer detention cell escape and the rest of the ride aboard the troop transport vehicles.
The 13-minute tour of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge takes viewers past Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Rise of the Resistance, Oga’s Cantina, Docking Bay 7 and Droid Depot without going inside. Viewers meet Rey, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren, patrolling stormtroopers and the Mandalorian in the otherwise empty Galaxy’s Edge.
Rey warns of First Order sightings, the stormtroopers order you to keep moving and Kylo Ren invites you to join the Dark Side.
