Get Ready for the World’s Most Magical Celebration

It’s news that we ALL have been waiting to hear! Disney has released their plans for the 50th-anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World.

 

The “World’s Most Magical Celebration” kicks off on October 1, 2021, and lasts for 18 months! Cinderella Castle will shimmer with decorative ornaments and special 50th-anniversary gold bunting and crest. By nighttime, the Magic Kingdom icon will be “covered” in special pixie dust.

 

You know, Mickey and Minnie will not miss out on the celebration. Their costumes feature shades of EARidescent teal and purple fabric.

 

Since the 50th is considered a “golden anniversary,” Mickey and Minnie will sport gold shoes and bows for the celebration.

 

 

Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT are also part of the fun. Each park’s icon will transform into a “Beacon of Magic.”

 

At Hollywood Studios, the Tower of Terror will receive some “special new touches” to illuminate the night sky.

 

 

Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life will be covered in glimmering fireflies.

 

 

EPCOT gets the biggest upgrade. The lighting effects on Spaceship Earth will resemble a starry night, and they will be a permanent fixture for the icon.

That’s all we know for now. Are you excited about the changes? Making plans to visit the parks during the celebration? Let us know in the comments!
