WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort 50th Anniversary Celebration

The World’s Most Magical Celebration’ in Honor of the Walt Disney World® Resort 50th Anniversary

It’s an event five decades in the making!

Walt Disney World® Resort is throwing “The World’s Most Magical Celebration”
in honor of our 50th anniversary, bringing new experiences to our four theme parks and beyond.
This milestone is such a big deal, we’ve even coined a new word – “EARidescence” – to describe
what Guests will see when they visit. Our Disney teams are creating all sorts of new decorations
that will shimmer and sparkle all day and into the night.

As part of the celebration, Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park will add to its royal
makeover from last year. The castle will feature golden bunting and a 50th anniversary crest as
part of its festive new look.

The castle will add even more magic at night, joined by icons at each of the other three theme
parks as they transform into Beacons of Magic, including pixie dust on Cinderella Castle, magical
fireflies inhabiting the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, and special new
touches coming to life on the Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®.

And at EPCOT®, new lights will shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth, connecting
to one another and resembling stars in a nighttime sky. This permanent new lighting will
continue beyond “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” as a defining feature of the park.
Guests will also want to keep an eye out for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, who will have
sparkling new looks for the celebration. As hosts of the event, they’ll be dressed for the
occasion in custom-made fashions of EARidescent fabric with gold highlights.
