Which Park Icon Transformation Are You Most Excited About for Walt Disney World’s 50th Celebration?

We previously shared the exciting news that Walt Disney World announced details surrounding their 50th Anniversary celebration. The 18-month celebration beginning October 1, 2021 is going to be spectacular with Disney’s key word to describe all the décor and sparkle as “EARidescence”. We’re especially excited to see each of the four park icons will be transformed for the celebration. Which do you think will be your favorite in celebration of the 50th?

Magic Kingdom

Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park will add to its royal makeover from last year. As you can see in the artist rendering above, 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.

EPCOT

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.
