food IS a theme park
Disney World is constantly changing!

Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
We are beyond excited about all the upgrades happening around Disney World for the big 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year (and lasts until 2023!!!).
A Beautiful Sight at Magic Kingdom!
And it’s going to be QUITE the party, and the whole resort is getting a glow-up so it can look its best for when the celebration begins. Not only is EPCOT going through a massive transformation, but all four parks will see some special effects added to their icons.
If you haven’t been to Disney World in a while, you may have missed the BIG news that Cinderella Castle is getting a stunning MAKEOVER ahead of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary on October 1st!
Magic Kingdom
That new pink and blue paint job is gorgeous, but next to it, well Fantasyland was starting to look a little less like it flowed with the Magic Kingdom’s centerpiece!
Get ready to mark your calendars for some special days that only the BIGGEST Disney fans know about!
Mickey Mouse
Sure, there are plenty of ways to celebrate holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and St. Patrick’s Day in the Disney parks. But there are some holidays that only Disney superfans know about! Here are some special Disney days that you won’t find pre-printed on your planner.
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!
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.
We got some major Disney World announcements recently.
EPCOT
We learned the official opening dates for two new things coming to EPCOT later this year — Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris! They’ll both be opening on October 1st in celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. But, we couldn’t help but notice that another upcoming attraction wasn’t mentioned — EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious.
We’re getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!

The celebration will begin October 1st, 2021 (that’s Disney World’s 50th birthday!), and will be a whopping 18 months long. Mickey and Minnie are gonna rock brand-new costumes, and each of the 4 park icons will receive a mini-transformation. And believe it or not, we’ve already seen some progress on the Cinderella Castle makeover in Magic Kingdom! Plus, we’ve gotten a behind-the-scenes peek at what the final result will look like.
Lots of excitement is in store for Disney World in 2021.
Cinderella Castle
First of all, this year is Disney World’s 50th anniversary! Pretty big deal, right?! Disney’s already released some exciting details, from new costumes for Mickey and Minnie to a celebration that’s over a YEAR long. But there’s more to look forward to in 2021, as changes of all kinds take place in the parks and resorts. Let’s take a look at everything Disney’s confirmed to open (so far) this year!
It may only be March, but the 50th anniversary of Disney World is closer than we think!
Cinderella Castle 50th Decor
Starting on October 1st, there will be an 18-month long celebration with new overlays to each Disney World park icon, new character outfits, and more! Now, some of the decor for this magical event is ALREADY out on display!
