50th anniversary map
To help kick off the 18-month celebration, Disney World has released a 1971 merchandise collection and there are 150 snacks (Yes, you read that right.) coming to the parks! Now, we found a new Magic Kingdom map that has been released to help guests navigate all of the 50th anniversary happenings.
The 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World is finally here, and it’s time to celebrate!
Let’s celebrate!
We’ve checked out new fireworks shows and we’ve shopped the new merchandise, but now it’s time to try the snacks! We’re stopping by Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out some new treats and share our thoughts with you.
It’s HERE!!! The 50th anniversary has officially kicked off in Disney World!
Some things still haven’t returned to Disney World
And while there hasn’t been any form of a Welcome Show since the parks reopened after its historic closure — today that changed!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is HERE!
Cinderella Castle
That’s right folks, it’s October 1st, which means it has been 50 years since Disney World opened its first park — Magic Kingdom. There is SO much going on in Magic Kingdom today, like a new fireworks show, a new cavalcade, new character costumes, and more. So, of course, Disney fans want to be in the original park today for the celebration! Even though this party isn’t going to stop for a whole 18-months, let’s check out the CROWDS in Magic Kingdom today!
Disney World is releasing a TON of merchandise for its 50th Anniversary Celebration spanning across several unique collections. Some of these items have already been released on shopDisney, while more have been released this week in the parks and resorts.
The Vault Collection
If you’ve been eyeing any items from some of Disney’s latest 50th Anniversary collections, including the retro-inspired Vault Collection, NOW is your time to shop online. But hurry — we have a feeling some these items will sell out fast!
Disney World has rolled out a whopping 150 NEW treats for the 50th Anniversary Celebration! Whether you’re looking for a savory or sweet dish, or you’re looking for a food or drink item, there’s a massive amount of new goodies to try!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
We’re heading over to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to see what they have to offer! And guess what? We found our very first cupcake of the day!
It’s that time! Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is TODAY!!!
Are you heading to Disney World soon?
Disney World has TONS of stuff planned for today (and we mean TONS), so we’ll be in the theme parks and hotels showing you EVERYTHING! From new restaurants, rides, food, experiences, and more, come to Disney World with us LIVE for one of the biggest Disney events in history!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is here and that means there’s also lots of new 50th Anniversary merch!
50th Merchandise
We’ve seen a few collections make their debut in the parks already, with fun items like new Minnie Ears, vintage-inspired designs, and more. But today, we found a new piece of 50th Anniversary merch that’s as beautiful as it is handy!
During Disney World’s 50th anniversary, all four Disney World Park icons, including Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, Tower of Terror, and the Tree of Life, will be transformed nightly to become Beacons of Magic. We were BLOWN AWAY by Spaceship Earth’s new nighttime look, so the stakes were high for the other three park icons!
Spaceship Earth’s new nighttime lighting is simply gorgeous!
Tonight we FINALLY got to see Cinderella Castle sparkle with pixie dust, and you’re going to want to see this.
Is there anything better than new fireworks in Disney World!?
Magic Kingdom
Yes, it sure was hard to say goodbye to Happily Ever After a few days ago, but we get a WHOLE NEW show with Disney Enchantment debuting in Magic Kingdom. Of course, we made sure to get a good view of the new show for its media DEBUT, and now we’re taking you along with us to watch it!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
