Disney has announced a LOT of new entertainment for the 50th anniversary including the new fireworks show at Magic Kingdom, Harmonious at EPCOT, and a new show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

It’s nearly September, which means Disney World’s 50th anniversary is almost here!
Have you seen the new banners?
With the 50th Anniversary Celebration kicking off on October 1st, we’ve been spotting small changes throughout Disney World, like the addition of the 50th Anniversary sign on Cinderella Castle and new banners in the parks. Today we found a pretty big change that could signal the start of some exciting things that are coming as part of the celebration!
September is a great time to visit Disney World this year!

If you’re heading to Disney World this fall, there are a few things you need to know!
The 50th is almost here!
The 50th Anniversary celebration kicks off on October 1st, meaning that it’s likely going to be crowded through the rest of this year. There are also new planning tools for your vacation, including the Disney Genie service that launches soon. And if you’re staying at a Disney World Resort, then you need to know about the new Early Theme Park Entry perk!
Love spending a little extra time in the Disney World theme parks at night? Well, if you’re staying at a Disney World Deluxe Resort, a Deluxe Villa, or other select hotels, you could get the chance to do just that with Disney’s new hotel perk — Extended Evening Hours.
Cinderella Castle
Extended Evening Hours, which will begin in October, allows guests at Disney World Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villa Resorts, or other select hotels to stay in select parks on certain nights for an extended period of time. So far we’ve shared a look at some of the dates that have been announced for this special perk, but now Disney has released the list of rides that will be open during these special evening hours!
Hello, DFB Readers!
The Animal Kingdom Lodge lobby is GORGEOUS.
What a week we’ve had at Disney World! We’ve been trying to make sense of Disney Genie (and we hope we’ve helped you make sense of it, too). We’ve been checking out all the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths that have opened early. We’ve been to some restaurant reopenings, too! But we’ve also been to the resorts to see what’s new!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
