food IS a theme park
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary on October 1st is almost here! From golden statues and brand new merch to new rides and firework shows, Disney has a LOT planned for the big day.
The 50th is almost here!
Recently, Disney announced another way they’re celebrating the special occasion.
Another week has gone by and (as always) more Disney BIG news has been announced or revealed!
Cinderella Castle
Within the past few days alone we got the opening of Space 220 in EPCOT, news about the new dining experience coming to California Grill, and much more. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive into this week’s big Disney news!
50th Anniversary decorations are all over the place in Disney World right now.
Love This Pair!
We’ve seen lots of golden character statues, banners in all of the parks, signs at the entrance to Disney World, and even new Cinderella Coach pumpkins taking over Main Street, U.S.A. It’s practically impossible to ignore the big celebrations that are starting October 1st. But Disney’s newest 50th Anniversary decorations aren’t in the parks at all! In fact, they’re not even on Disney World property.
The 50th Anniversary is set to bring all kinds of new things to Disney World.
We’re Going to Disney World!
One of the perks that will be available starting on October 1st is Early Theme Park Entry. This special benefit gives all guests staying at Disney World Resort hotels and select other hotels the chance to enter any Disney World theme park 30 minutes early on any day! As we noted above, this perk was set to begin on October 1st, but it looks like plans have changed.
Every day we’re getting closer and closer to Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration!
The 50th is almost here!
We’re ready to check out the new fireworks shows, the over-the-top decorations, and all the new offerings all around the resort. But here at DFB, one of the things we’re most excited about is FOOD. So what’s the food going to be like for the 50th? Let’s break it down!
We know it’s fall in Magic Kingdom when all those colorful decorations appear on Main Street, U.S.A.
Fall in the Magic Kingdom
Disney decorates for the holidays a little bit early, but we’re not complaining. We love to see the pumpkins, wreaths, and banners go up. What we WEREN’T expecting, though, was to see some decorations come DOWN today. That’s right — a staple fall decoration was missing from Magic Kingdom today!
UPDATE: The welcome show no longer has hours listed for October 1st. Instead, hours are not listed until October 4th. We’ll be on the lookout for more updates.
There are quite a few things happening in Disney World on October 1st!
The big day is almost here!
It’s the 50th Anniversary of Disney World, so there are going to be decorations, special entertainment, and new offerings around all four parks. Now, it looks like a fan-favorite show may be returning that day as well!
October 1st is a little over a week away, and we’re doing our best to prepare for the big day!
It’s going to be a big day in Disney World!
In case you’re not caught up on the latest details, next week is Disney World’s big 50th Anniversary, and it’s bringing some exciting new offerings to the parks! We’ll get two new fireworks shows, a daytime show, special decorations, a new restaurant, AND a new ride. And if you’re hoping to check out the new ride, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, then we’ve got some important information you need to know!

Beginning on October 3rd, California Grill will be hosting a special 50th anniversary dining experience, with a new, limited time three-course 50th anniversary experience. Reservations just opened today, and it was an ORDEAL, full of glitches, so here’s what you may have to deal with.
In a little over a week, Disney World’s HUGE 50th anniversary celebration will begin, and there’s a LOT to get excited about.
SOON!
We’ve got TWO (count ’em, two!) new nighttime shows coming to the parks (Harmonious at EPCOT and Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom), we’ve got a brand new character cavalcade to look forward to, we’ve already got 50th anniversary popcorn boxes, and we’ve seen a lot of the 50 gold character statues all over the resort. But Disney is adding more subtle 50th Anniversary details, too. And there’s one we bet you’ve missed!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
