food IS a theme park
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Disney World, and Disney is getting ready to throw a VERY glitzy birthday party!
Decorations are already going up!
And decorations at Magic Kingdom are already going up! The castle got a spiffy new paint job, along with some brand new GORGEOUS decor! Bonjour Village Gifts just got a new look, AND we’ve even learned that the Main Street Confectionery is about to get a serious makeover!
There are some ch-ch-ch-ch-changes happening in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
As Disney World prepares for the resort’s 50th Anniversary in October, we’ve seen a variety of work to spruce up the parks. Last week we spotted a permit for work on the Peter Pan’s Flight sign and now that sign has DISAPPEARED!
A few months ago, we clued ya in that a Disney World license plate was on the way!
Magic Kingdom
The license plate would celebrate Disney World’s 50th anniversary while benefiting the Make-a-Wish organization. A way to rep your Disney love while supporting a good cause?! Sounds like a win-win! And now, Disney has officially revealed the new design.
Cinderella Castle is currently getting a HUGE makeover and updates for the big 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year!
Decorations are already going up!
We’ve already seen it get a new paint job, watched it get some work done that required the moat to be drained, and got details about what it will look like later this year. And, there are already some shiny new decorative elements on it!
Magic Kingdom has some beloved attractions.
Peter Pan’s Flight line
Fantasyland, especially, is home to some iconic favorites. One super popular ride is Peter Pan’s Flight. This attraction has been receiving some mystery updates recently; first hidden behind construction walls and now a GIANT themed scrim. Now, we know a little bit more about the work.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is fast approaching and we want to make sure you’re ready!

When it comes to where you can spend your October 1st (that’s the 50th!), you’ve got some choices to make. Magic Kingdom is sure to have an AMAZING celebration, but EPCOT will feature a brand-new ride. So, what should you do? We’re here to help!
There are a LOT of things going on at EPCOT.
EPCOT
As part of the EPCOT Transformation, new rides, restaurants, and experiences are coming to this park. On top of that, EPCOT has already gotten new flags, new entrance music, and new nighttime lights in its entrance area, AND Leave A Legacy has returned in a new, colorful way! Soon, Spaceship Earth will also have a new nighttime look and we’ve got a special peek behind-the-scenes at part of this new look right here!
Do you know the significance of October 1st in Disney World history?
Cinderella Castle
Walt Disney World opened on October 1st, 1971, which means that this year, the resort will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary. With new offerings around Magic Kingdom and the fact that it’s a milestone occasion, we’re expecting massive crowds for the 50th. However, an anniversary isn’t the only thing big in Disney World that day, so today we’re sharing the full list of what’s happening on October 1st, 2021!
Things are constantly getting being updated and changed at Disney World. Especially now that the resort is getting ready for its big 50th anniversary celebration!
The castle is looking so pretty!
We’ve seen Cinderella Castle get a spruced-up paint job and some new details. There is a TON of construction and updates going on over at EPCOT. And Animal Kingdom’s Pandora got a new bioluminescent paint glow-up.
The EPCOT entrance area has already gotten some seriously MASSIVE upgrades.
Jaw. Dropping. Beauty.
First, there’s the new entrance fountain, which lights up beautifully. Then, we’ve got the new flags and the new entrance music. And not too long ago we got to see those incredible new lights all around the entrance area that make this spot truly SPECTACULAR at night. But, this whole area will soon be getting ANOTHER new addition!
