Mickey Mouse and “Mickey Dees” are joining forces.
McDonald’s has collaborated with Disney on a special anniversary collection of Happy Meal toys that will debut at Golden Arches outlets nationwide next month.
Dubbed the 70th Celebration Happy Meal, the special meal deal was rolled out to commemorate the anniversary of Disneyland Resort’s opening in 1955, People reported.
In accordance, beginning on December 2, McDonald’s fans will get to buy a meal that includes two characters from across the Disney-verse, including Disney, Pixar, Marvel or “Star Wars.”
All told, there are 35 possible unique pairings for a total of 70 different toys — one for every year that the House of Mouse has been in business. Or as McDonald’s announced on Instagram, “70 toys for 70 years of the Disneyland Resort.”
The character-based collection — one of the largest ever released by McDonald’s — features Marvel icons like Black Panther and Iron Man alongside Darth Vader and other marquee “Star Wars” characters.
Also included are classic Disney characters such as Maleficent, Dumbo, Donald Duck, Simba, and, of course, Mickey Mouse himself.
There are even a few Easter eggs, such as the Clara Belle dancing in a 70s-inspired outfit, and the park-specific Haunted Mansion’s Hat Box Ghost and Chip and Dale in a Mad Tea Party teacup.
Disney lovers are already going gaga over the fast food-adjacent figurines, with one Instagram fan posting, “I need quite a few of these!”
“These are so cute! I want the Mickey one,” gushed another.
“I must have that Darth Vader!” declared a third.
The Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration Happy Meal will only be available while supplies last, so fans are encouraged to head to their nearest outlet early to maximize their chances of getting their hands on a collectible Big Mac accompaniment.
