Disney World 50th Anniversary Highlights

Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom Park

One of my favorite new shows is Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom. This show will take guests on a journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment. Inspiring everyone to believe in magic, Disney Enchantment includes a projection show on Cinderella Castle and Main Street USA. If you love fireworks, you will see a ton of them above Cinderella Castle. You can watch the full show below.

Harmonious at EPCOT

Harmonious at Epcot is one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney Park. This new show will bring the globe together at World Showcase Lagoon in a celebration of Disney music that inspires people worldwide. This show features lasers, fireworks, and water fountains.

You can watch the full show below.

We love this new show. You can find a great spot to watch Harmonious around the World Showcase Lagoon.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT

Love the new ride celebration the Disney World 50th Celebration This new ride is called Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. You can join Remy and his friends at Epcot. You will scurry through Gusteau’s famous restaurant as the size of a rat. Your whole family will love this adventure.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure has 4-D effects including water splashing up on you! It is so much fun for the whole family! #disneyworld50 #epcot #DisneyWorld50 pic.twitter.com/LWlf8DucBa

Beacons of Magic for the Disney World 50th Anniversary

As part of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” icons at each Walt Disney World theme park will transform into magnificent Beacons of Magic at night, coming to life with their own EARidescent glow*.

  • Cinderella Castle will illuminate Magic Kingdom
  • Tree of Life is magical with fireflies at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
  • Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be awash in a brilliance evoking the golden age
  • Spaceship Earth will glow at EPCOT

Disney KiteTails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

A new kid friendly show called Disney KiteTails is at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Performers will fly windcatchers and kites of all shapes and sizes. You may even spot a few 30 foot friends like Simba, Zazu, or Baloo soaring across the water.

This is my favorite part of KiteTails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. #disneyworld #disneyworld50 #animalkingdom #WaltDisneyWorld pic.twitter.com/QJBN4Wrpx2

Golden ‘Disney Fab 50’ Statues

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto and Chip ‘n’ Dale will be part of a new collection of special golden character sculptures. You can find these statues at all 4 Disney Parks. Can you find all 50 of them?

For the Disney World 50th Anniversary, you can find gold statues throughout the Disney Parks. Dumbo is over at Magic Kingdom! It is fun to hunt for these gold statues. #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld50 pic.twitter.com/Z9UyFJ3tsJ
