We saw a LOT of changes in Disney World for the 50th Anniversary.
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
When the celebration began in October 2021, we got new decorations, snacks, and merchandise, along with some exclusive entertainment. When the Cinderella Castle stage show returned a few months later, it was updated to be a 50th Anniversary version, with unique costumes and music. But what will happen to Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire now that the celebration is ending?
Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire replaced the former version of the show, Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire, in February 2022. When the show came back for the first time since the park closure, it had some 50th Anniversary changes, including new costumes for Mickey and friends, new costumes for the dancers, and a new opening and closing song.

So after the 50th Anniversary celebrations end on March 31st, what will change about the show? We were able to confirm with a Cast Member that Mickey and his friends (Donald, Daisy, Minnie, and Goofy all appear in the show) will be getting a costume change. The Cast Member told us that the backup dancers will remain in the same anniversary outfits that they’ve had for the last year or so.

The Cast Member we spoke with didn’t mention any changes for the music in the show, but we’ll make sure to check it out on April 1st and see. We’ll also update you with any other entertainment changes that come along!
