food IS a theme park
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.
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.

Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary is getting close!
Cinderella Castle
The big day is October 1st, 2021 — that’s in just a few months! We already have lots to look forward to in the parks: new attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, a new nighttime show, and even a new restaurant! But with the anniversary getting close, many wondered if there was anything extra special in the works. And now we have some answers!
This year is Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Magic Kingdom
The parks have been through a lot of changes in the last few decades, like the addition of Galaxy’s Edge and Pandora, the Cinderella Castle makeover, and some new resorts. And now there’s now a way to look back on all this history.
Wow! It’s wild to think about but Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is THIS YEAR.
Walt Disney World Gateway
In preparation for the big occasion, Disney has given Cinderella Castle a new look and is working on new attractions and restaurants for the parks. Another area that’s getting some TLC is the Walt Disney World entrance signs around the resort! Today, work on another one of the entrances got underway.
2020 has brought a LOT of twists and turns, and we’re still very much in the midst of grappling with them. This year and next were supposed to be exciting ones in terms of opening attractions.
Spaceship Earth
There are still projects to be excited about, of course, but Disney has left us wondering when and if some of them will ever be completed. Luckily, there are a few BIG Disney attractions that we can still expect to open in 2021 — here are the upcoming projects scheduled for completion next year!
