It has already been reported that new Cinderella-themed popcorn buckets will be available at the Magic Kingdom, and a unique nighttime experience is coming to Spaceship Earth at EPCOT. In addition, it has been announced that those staying on property at a Disney Resort may see the fab five (perhaps others?) pop up and randomly surprise Guests.

However you choose to celebrate the Disney 100 anniversary, remember it all started with a mouse.

About Steven Wilk

Steven has a complicated relationship with Disney. As a child, he visited Walt Disney World every few years with his family. But he never understood why kids his age (and older) were so scared of Snow White or Alien Encounter. He is a former participant of the Disney College Program (left early…long story), and he also previously worked in Children’s publishing, where he adapted multiple Disney movies and TV shows. He has many controversial opinions about Disney…like having a positive view of Michael Eisner, believing Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, and that Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge should have never been built (at least not at Hollywood Studios). Every year for the past two decades, Steven has visited either Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani or went on a Disney Cruise. He’s happy to share any and all knowledge of the Disney destinations (and he likes using parenthesis a lot…as well as ellipses…)
