New McDonald's Happy Meal toys are perfect for Disney fans

Christmas is about to come early for Disney fans both young and old, as a whopping amount of new toys are coming to McDonald's Happy Meals.

It's all to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Disneyland, so there are 70 Happy Meal toys to match.

Hopefully you'll be able to avoid repeats with that many toys on offer!

Disneyland Resort officially opened on 17 July 1955, and the celebrations have been in full swing this year.

According to People, you can get your hands on the adorable new toys from 2 December - which means they'll be out at the same time as the Grinch meals, which have been dubbed an 'adult Happy Meal'.

Every McDonald's Happy Meal - the kids' version, although something tells us this will have fans of all ages - will come with two collectible toys, from a range of beloved Disney, Pixar, Marvel or Star Wars characters.

Fans have already been making requests for their favoured duo, with one asking: "How does one get Lilo and Stitch?"

McDonald's replied: "Through love and determination."

In alphabetical order, the characters featured are: Ahsoka, Anxiety, Anna, Ariel, Asha, Aurora, Baymax, BB-8, Beast, Bing Bong, Black Panther, Black Widow, Boba Fett, Boo, Chewbacca, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Clarabelle, Classic Sleeping Beauty Castle, Crush, Cruella, Daisy Duck, Darth Vader, Donald Duck, Dory, Dumbo, Evil Queen, Elsa, Flounder, Frozone, Gold Sleeping Beauty Castle, Goofy, Green Alien, Groot, Hatbox Ghost, Iron Man, Jack-Jack, Judy Hopps, Kylo Ren, Lightning McQueen, Lilo, Maleficent, Mater, Mickey Mouse, Mike Wazowski, Miguel, Minnie Mouse, Mirabel, Moana, Mr. Incredible, Mufasa, Nemo, Nebula, Nick Wilde, Okoye, Olaf, Pluto, R2-D2, Rapunzel, Rex, Rey, Sadness, Simba, Sleeping Beauty Castle (Classic), Sleeping Beauty Castle (Gold), Snow White, Stitch, Stormtrooper, Sulley, Thanos, Tiana, Timon and Tinker Bell.

One fan joked: "I better get my stomach ready to eat 70 happy meals!" while another pleaded: "I NEED the Mickey one!"

Disney and McDonald's shared the news together on an Instagram post, and fans are thrilled that there's a solid mix of new favourites along with nostalgic classic characters.

Some of the characters have a nod to the 70th anniversary theme, such as Clara Belle appearing a 70s-themed outfit.

Disneyland Park fans will recognise the Hat Box Ghost from the Haunted Mansion ride.

Fans were also predicting which characters will be hard to get: "To get Lightning McQueen is going to be a challenge!" predicted one, while another also wanted Stitch and said he would be 'like gold dust'.

"I want the castles, Aurora, Mickey, Minnie, and the teacup!" wished another fan.

Not everyone was happy though about some of the missing characters: "No meet the Robinsons, Treasure Planet or Black Cauldron again! And NO ALICE IN WONDERLAND! No thank you?"

"What about Mulan?" asked another, with one agreeing: "Where are the characters from Mulan? Is the movie not popular?"

Disney has so many characters though that the collection would be enormous to feature them all.

They launch 2 December in the US.
