Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Announced as “The World’s Most Magical Celebration”

Share:

On Oct. 1, 1971, Walt Disney World Resort officially opened to guests, and in the five decades since, the resort has grown in such a magical, and expansive way, that we’d like to think even Walt himself would be so amazed by what his company has accomplished. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, with “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” that will begin on Oct. 1, 2021!

This 18-month event will feature new experiences at the resort’s four theme parks and more, where ‘EARidescent’ décor will appear throughout the parks. Starting off with Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park, which will add to its new makeover from 2020 with new gold bunting, sparkling golden embellishments, and other new enhancements, including a 50th-anniversary crest.

Taking part in “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” the icons at each Walt Disney World theme park will transform into Beacons of Magic at night!

Beginning Oct. 1, 2021, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will host “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” honoring Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. They will dress in sparkling new looks custom made for the 18-month event, highlighted by embroidered impressions of Cinderella Castle on multi-toned, EARidescent fabric punctuated with pops of gold.
