food IS a theme park
Change is inevitable in Disney World, and that was always part of Walt’s original vision.
World of Disney
Rides come… and rides go. Hotels get updated. New buildings get constructed. Big celebrations end — just like the 50th Anniversary Celebration JUST ended. Now, because of that ending, a big change has happened at one store in Disney World.
It’s officially the end of March, which means Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is ending.
50th Anniversary Statues
After 18 months, the celebration will end on March 31st, 2023, bringing in the new Disney100 Celebration to EPCOT. We’ve already seen some snack and merchandise changes, and we’ve noticed a BIG change on the shopDisney website.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations are coming to an end, and we’ve seen signs of the change all around.
Cinderella Castle
Treats have disappeared, decorations have gone away, and we’re starting to see some of the merchandise disappear too. But, it looks like Disney has some of those items on sale — and you’ll want to hurry!
It’s true. All good things must come to an end, and with those endings come new beginnings. (How was that for a cheesy pep talk?)
50th Anniversary Mickey Statue
We’re talking about the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Disney World! As you may already know, this celebration will end on March 31st, 2023. At this time, we’ll have to say goodbye to many of the things we’ve held dear for the past 18 months. We were hoping that some fan-favorite 50th Anniversary menu items would stick around after the party ended, but we just found out that at least one treat will be leaving along with the celebration.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration brought us lots of magic — and we’re so sad for the celebration to end on March 31st, 2023.
Magic Kingdom
This magical celebration brought us merchandise, new shows and entertainment, and our favorite thing: FOOD! For the last year and a half, we have spent time in the parks trying all of the 50th Anniversary Celebration snacks. We have tasted them all — the sweet and salty, the big and small, and we definitely found our favorites!
50th Medallion on Top
While it makes sense that Disney would retire these snacks at the end of the 50th Celebration, we’re just not ready to let some of these snacks go! If you find yourself at Disney World before March 31st, make sure to try these snacks before they go!
Are you sad that Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration ends in a month?
The 50th Anniversary Celebration is winding down
The celebration did last a full 18 months, after all. During that time, we had LOADS of special merchandise, as well as special snacks. Well, we’re now seeing some of those 50th anniversary snacks disappearing from Disney World menus, a sure sign that the big celebration is starting to wind down.
A LOT goes into planning a Disney World trip. You have to pick the dates for your trip and book your hotel and tickets. You have to make a packing list to make sure that you don’t forget anything.
SO much goes into planning a Disney World trip
There are advance dining reservations to deal with, decisions about Genie+ to make, and SO MUCH MORE. The most important thing you must remember to do, though, is making those park pass reservations, ESPECIALLY if you’ll be visiting Disney World on one certain date in March.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration is officially over soon, on March 31st.
But that 50th Cinderella Castle is SO PRETTY
After that, we’ll be saying goodbye to a lot of things, including the Harmonious nighttime show in EPCOT and the Disney Enchantment fireworks in Magic Kingdom. But what makes us really sad is the food we’ll have to say goodbye to — and WE ARE NOT READY. 😢
As we celebrate a new year, we’re still celebrating Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
The festivities kicked off in 2021 and will end in just a couple months. To go out with a bang, Disney announced it would release a Grand Finale merchandise collection — and it looks like some items have started to pop up online. We spotted a shiny, NEW Starbucks tumbler that we think might be our favorite one yet!
One thing that’s inevitable in Disney World is change.
Change is inevitable in Disney World
New attractions open, while old ones close. There’s always some kind of construction going on. That’s all part of Walt Disney’s original vision, after all — parks that change and expand and grow with the times. So one thing we can be sure of in 2023 is that there’s going to be even MORE change from 2022.
