Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary makeover
We’ve taken a look at a TON of fun celebrations coming for this massive anniversary like the refurbishment of park icons, NEW fireworks, and a LOT more. Now, Disney has announced that the celebrations will even extend OUTSIDE of Disney World… .
Disney World Cast Members have teamed up with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) to transform the arrival experience at Orlando International Airport (MCO) as a part of the 50th Anniversary!

Magic of Disney at Orlando International Aiport
CEO of GOAA Phil Brown says of the transformation, “Orlando International Airport and Walt Disney World share a commitment to the Central Florida community. We proudly recognize the outstanding accomplishment of our longtime partner as they celebrate this impressive 50th Anniversary milestone. Collaborating on a commemorative presence at Florida’s busiest airport means we get to be the first moment of celebration for guests flying into Orlando to be part of the spectacular fanfare.”
