First Look: New Disney World Merchandise Celebrates 50th Anniversary Finale

Have you had a chance to explore the Walt Disney World Resort during “The World’s Most Magical Celebration”? The 50th-anniversary festivities at East Coast Disney Parks and Resorts kicked off on October 1, 2021, but they will soon be coming to an end in spring 2023.

The celebration has brought with it new experiences, including nighttime spectaculars, new details around the Parks like EARidescent looks for favorite Disney characters and the Fab 50 Character Collection of interactive statues, just to name a few.

Along with all of the exciting events and experiences around the theme parks and Resorts, specialty merchandise has been a staple of the 18-month celebration. From the Vault collection, which recreated Disney souvenirs from the Resort’s 50-year history, to new EARidescent clothing and souvenirs, the anniversary collection pieces have been extremely popular with fans.

With the celebration drawing to a close on March 31, 2023, Disney has just revealed a first look at some of the last items to debut specifically for this once-in-a-lifetime event (and yes, they include more NEW spirit jerseys…)
