Disney World’s 50th anniversary is TOMORROW!!
It’s almost here!
Can you believe it?! The Most Magical Place on Earth is about to be half a century old — and we’re SO ready to celebrate. From fireworks to food to merchandise, Disney has been getting us hyped up for this day for a long time. And now, guests will have even longer to celebrate the big day in Magic Kingdom!
Are you ready to step aboard the Halcyon for the intergalactic adventure of your dreams?! Well, that day is approaching very quickly!

We’ve been keeping tabs on ALL the news about the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience (also referred to as the Star Wars hotel), and now we’ve got a BIG update. We now know when you’ll be able to make your reservation for this incredible adventure!
SO much is happening around Disney World lately!
Cinderella Castle
The parks and hotels are getting ready for the big 50th anniversary, which includes things like new shows, food, and an attraction. And, Disney just announced another new thing coming to Disney World that will change your guest experience!
So many new and exciting things are coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve been keeping an eye on construction for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind for a while now (we even got our first look inside yesterday!!), and we’re excited to finally start counting down the days until its opening!
If you’re like us, you’ve probably been anxiously waiting for more news about Disney World’s new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.

Recently we learned new details about the Star Wars hotel, and we got a sneak peek of some food dishes. Disney also announced the opening timeline for the hotel, but “Spring 2022” didn’t give us the exact date. Well, now we DO have the date, and it’s time to set alarms and mark calendars!
We’re at EPCOT this evening for the first performance of Harmonious! On the way out, guests were treated to a special surprise of Spaceship Earth lit up in its new nighttime “Beacons of Light” look (and it’s GORGEOUS, btw).
Spaceship Earth’s new nighttime lighting is simply gorgeous!
Spaceship Earth isn’t the only thing getting a new nighttime “glow up” for the 50th Anniversary Celebration — and no, we aren’t talking about the other three park icons, either!
There have been several big changes in EPCOT over the last few weeks that we’ve eagerly waited for! The month of September brought the long-awaited opening of Space 220, and we’ve been enjoying checking out the newly expanded France Pavilion with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris!
EPCOT
Tonight, however, all eyes are on World Showcase Lagoon as we finally get to see the brand-new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious!
Tonight has been a very exciting evening around Disney World! We bid a fond farewell to Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, and we said “hello” to Harmonious in EPCOT!
Illuminated barges after ‘Harmonious’
After taking in the sights and sounds of Harmonious, we noticed something extra special as we made our way out of the park (are you ready for this?).
Earlier this week, we watched the last showing of EPCOT Forever, the fireworks show that played over the World Showcase Lagoon.
EPCOT
We’re sad to say goodbye to the old Disney World fireworks shows, like EPCOT Forever and Happily Ever After, but we’re also super excited for the new shows that are replacing them for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! Before the debut, we took a look at the music, preparations, and even some testing for EPCOT’s new show. Tonight, we’re finally watching the first showing of EPCOT’s Harmonious. Come take a look with us!
