food IS a theme park
There’s no shortage of 50th Anniversary offerings in Disney World!
The one and only Mickey Mouse!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration has been filled with new foods, merchandise, decorations, and shows! And if you’re a fan of closing out your night with fireworks, like the 50th Anniversary-themed Disney Enchantment show, prepare to stay in the parks a little bit later than usual.
Earlier this week, we watched the last showing of EPCOT Forever, the fireworks show that played over the World Showcase Lagoon.

We’re sad to say goodbye to the old Disney World fireworks shows, like EPCOT Forever and Happily Ever After, but we’re also super excited for the new shows that are replacing them for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! Before the debut, we took a look at the music, preparations, and even some testing for EPCOT’s new show. Tonight, we’re finally watching the first showing of EPCOT’s Harmonious. Come take a look with us!
Out with the old, in with the new! As we get closer to the final performance of Happily Ever After, the fireworks spectacular that ran in the Magic Kingdom from 2017 to 2021, Disney has started preparing for Disney Enchantment to take its place.

Imagineers have been hard at work tidying up the parks and adding some shiny new decorations for the 50th Anniversary, but last night we caught them testing some new fireworks, too!
