Walt Disney World Resort Celebrates 50th Anniversary for 18 Months Starting on October 1

This morning, the Walt Disney World Resort gave us a sneak peek at what we can expect during the 50th anniversary of the vacation kingdom of the world.

What’s Happening:

  • Walt Disney World Resort made an announcement today on the Disney Parks Blog and on Good Morning America showing a glimpse of what we can expect during the 50th anniversary of the resort.
  • “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” will start on October 1, 2021, and continue for 18 months.
  • Shimmering EARidescent décor will appear around the resort while the icons at each park will transform at night to “Beacons of Magic.”

  • Cinderella Castle will feature golden bunting, sparkling golden embellishments, and a 50th anniversary crest.

  • At night, Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park will sparkle with pixie dust.

  • At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, a warm light will emanate from the Tree of Life as magical fireflies gather to usher in the magic of nature.

  • The Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be awash in a brilliance evoking the golden age of imagination and adventure.

  • At EPCOT, new lights will shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth, connecting to one another in a symbol of optimism resembling stars in a nighttime sky. The iconic structure’s permanent new lighting will continue beyond the 50th celebration.

  • Mickey and Minnie showed off their new looks at Magic Kingdom Park, all decked out for the celebration.
  • Highlights of these celebratory designs include embroidered impressions of Cinderella Castle backed by fireworks, as well as a brocade in multi-toned, EARidescent fabric – all punctuated with pops of gold.
