Hello from the Most Magical Place on Earth on its 50th Birthday!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s 18-month-long 50th Anniversary celebration has officially begun and we are in the parks experiencing it all! This morning, we made our way to Magic Kingdom bright and early to see all of the new things the park has to offer. During our trip, we found a NEW popcorn treat, but we must give you a word of warning about this one!
We try to give you our best Disney World planning tips and tricks on the daily. With Disney’s constantly changing environment, we HAVE to provide you with tips on the daily because Disney’s plans can change *snaps fingers* just like that.
Welcome!
But if someone were to ask us right now what we believe is the MOST important thing to remember for planning a Disney World vacation in 2022, we’d be able to answer that pretty quickly. Because THIS particular change is going to impact a LOT of travelers VERY soon. (And there’s still a LOT of people that might not know about it yet!)
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!
The Electrical Water Pageant is a floating parade on Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake featuring glowing displays that float across the waters. The show can be viewed from Disney’s Contemporary, Bay Lake Tower, Polynesian, Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, and Fort Wilderness resorts!

For the big 50th Anniversary Celebration, Disney World has added NEW scenes to the show!
Earlier this past summer, actress Scarlett Johansson sued the Walt Disney Company for breach of contract. According to Johansson, Disney stifled box office potential by releasing Black Widow exclusively on Disney+, cutting into her potential bonus earnings, which was a reflection of box office performance.

The lawsuit was followed by a back-and-forth between the two parties, eventually resulting in Disney seeking private arbitration for the case.
