food IS a theme park
It’s the big day! Today, we’re celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary and Disney has a TON of stuff planned for the occasion.
The 50th is here!
We’re checking out new food, merchandise, shows, and MORE! Something else happening today is the brand new 50th anniversary cavalcade in Magic Kingdom, so let’s go see Mickey and the gang celebrate!
With Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations taking over the Most Magical Place on Earth, it’s easy to forget that Halloween is just around the corner!

But, today is October 1st, meaning Halloween is just a few weeks away and Disney World is not letting us forget it! We’ve already had lots of Halloween treats. But, today we went to check out a special NEW Halloween treat at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
Our favorite rat officially has his own attraction open in EPCOT!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure!
For QUITE some time, we’ve been watching ALL the progress going on near Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT’s France pavilion. We’ve seen the sign for the attraction beautifully lit up at night, we’ve watched all the sneak peeks, and we’ve kept tabs on all the cool details. But, the day has finally arrived. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is now OPEN in EPCOT!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebrations have officially begun!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve already grabbed some new treats, checked out the refillable resort mugs, and grabbed a FREE souvenir. But, there’s still a whole lot more to do. If you’re visiting Disney World right now, just as the 50th Anniversary celebrations start, you might be concerned about long lines for Disney World’s rides, especially given the pretty substantial crowds we’ve seen in the parks. But, the longest lines you’ll face today might not be for the rides at all!
There’s certainly a LOT of Disney news today!
