food IS a theme park
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!
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.
WOW WOW WOW. What a week it has been for Disney news!
EPCOT
We’ve got some BIG updates on a new ride and a new restaurant coming to Disney World THIS YEAR(!!); a whole park (a water park that is) has reopened at Disney World; we got a sneak peek at the Spider-Man ride in Avengers Campus and MORE!
Preparations are well underway for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, which start this year on October 1st.
Disney World
We’ve already seen 50th anniversary decor added to Cinderella Castle, and we’ve gotten a peek at how the other park icons will look in celebration of the 50th. Well, if you’re planning to visit Disney World for the start of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, one thing you’ll want to book QUICKLY are your Park Pass reservations, as more Park Passes around that time have started to fill up!
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’s no secret that Disney trips require some serious planning.
Cinderella Castle
Between finding a hotel, buying tickets, and figuring out dining, there’s a LOT that goes into a Disney vacation! But with adjusted operations due to the ongoing pandemic, there are a couple parts of your trip that need even MORE planning than usual. So if you’re planning on checking these 2 things off your Disney bucket list, you’d better get preppin’!
Can you believe it’s already March? Like wasn’t it just Christmas yesterday?
Spaceship Earth and the New Lights
Okay, so we’re only THREE months into the New Year, but SO MUCH has happened at Disney World in 2021 already! Not only do we have a huge 18-month-long 50th birthday party to attend, but some parks and resorts are already looking a LOT different!
Yesterday, we shared some BIG news about EPCOT.
EPCOT
The long-anticipated Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open in the newly-expanded France Pavilion on October 1st, 2021 — and we’ll also get to FINALLY try out the new La Crêperie de Paris. And ICYMI, these openings are happened on none other than Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary! As you can imagine, it’s gonna be a pretty busy day in the parks.
It’s been about a few years since we first learned that EPCOT would be getting its OWN version of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride Vehicle
This ride was originally supposed to open in summer 2020, but due to the global health crisis, the construction and opening date were delayed. We have seen a lot of work being done on the ride and the France pavilion’s expansion. Last year, Disney shared that the ride would be opening in 2021, and now we FINALLY have an official opening date!!
Even though we were convinced that 2020 would last forever, we’re now three months into 2021!
Hollywood Studios
This year has been pretty eventful in Disney World so far, with several policy changes, lots of construction, and plenty of new offerings. We’ve been looking out for all the latest Disney news, and if you’re planning on traveling to the parks and resorts in March, there are quite a few things you need to know about!
