food IS a theme park
Disney just announced a LOT of exciting entertainment news for the 50th Anniversary of Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
October 1st will bring us a new Magic Kingdom fireworks show, projections on Main Street, U.S.A., the debut of EPCOT’s Harmonious, and more! Disney’s Animal Kingdom will even join in on the fun with a new DAYTIME show of its own!
We’ve been getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Happily Ever After
The celebration kicks off on October 1st and lasts for a whopping 18 months. And while we’ve already got a taste of what’s in store (like new costumes for Mickey and Minnie, a ride’s grand opening, new eats, and more), Disney’s got something else up their sleeve!
We’ve got BIG news for those traveling to Disney World later this year!
Cinderella Castle
As you’ve probably heard, Disney World will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. On October 1st, 2021 the 18 MONTH-long festivities will begin for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration“. The celebration includes special transformations coming to the parks’ icons, new outfits for Mickey & Minnie, and a whole lot more. And now, we’ve got MORE BIG NEWS about the Anniversary!!!
EPCOT is undergoing a LOT of changes.
EPCOT
An expansion at the France Pavilion — including the new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction — will open on October 1st, and construction continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the new Space 220 restaurant. But there’s something else on the way: an all-new nighttime spectacular! And now, we finally know when this new show — Harmonious — will light up the skies.
A new MagicBand seems to come out every day! With a vast array of options, there’s a perfect MagicBand for just about everyone! Not only are they stylish, but they also make stuff like FastPasses (when they are around), room charges, and park tickets so much easier!
Lots of options!
Even though MagicBands are no longer complementary and MagicMobile allows you to not need a MagicBand at all, they’re still a hot product used by lots of Disney-goers! With bands based on rides, characters, and even food, it’s no surprise that this MagicBand is based on a beloved Walt Disney World Resort!

Disney World has changed a lot recently by reducing social distancing, increasing capacity, and updating their face mask policy.
