This is the year of Disney celebrations!
Happy 50th Disney World!
Looking for an anniversary to celebrate? If so, you have plenty to choose from — Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary, and Disneyland Paris’ 30th Anniversary. But it’s not just the parks and resorts hitting huge milestones, as Walt Disney Imagineering is celebrating a huuuuuge anniversary in a shiny way!
As they say on the Carousel of Progress, “there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow,” and there are some AMAZING technological developments in the works thanks to some clever Imagineers! Remember that incredible lightsaber that Josh D’Amaro tested out during a D23 event? Or what about that preview of Project EXO that will totally change the way we interact with characters?
