Walt Disney World turns 50
We are just weeks away from Walt Disney World’s huge anniversary celebration! There is so much excitement surrounding the big event and we are all here for it.
Everything you need to know about the anniversary can be found in this post. New nighttime spectacular shows, including Disney’s Enchantment at the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT’s Harmonious show, will be debuting along with a new show over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will also be dressed in brand new ear-idescent costumes along with all of their favorite pals as well! If that is not enough, Walt Disney World’s transportation has also received magical makeovers. Look out for new looks as your board the next bus, hop on Disney’s Skyliner or ride the monorail.
‘The World’s Most Magical Celebration’ Comes to McDonald’s
Disney Parks Blog has shared the following about an exciting new promotion:
“Our friends at McDonald’s are helping us celebrate 50 magical years with an impressive lineup of 50 unique Happy Meal® toys and an exclusive Happy Meal box.
This one-of-a-kind collection goes deep into the vault of some of our favorite Disney characters. While “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” will continue for 18 months, these toys are only available for a limited time, so be sure to grab some while supplies last!
If you head to your local Golden Arches® starting this week, you’ll find the EARidescent 8 characters sporting their 50th anniversary celebration fashions in addition to 42 other beloved characters.
All of the toys come on one of four colorful bases, each representing one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Great for playing or displaying, each base comes with a lenticular backdrop depicting a day-to-night scene in Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.“
The full list of character toys includes: Celebration Mickey Mouse, Flounder, Timothy Mouse, Abu, Genie, Bambi, Celebration Dale, R2-D2, Celebration Minnie Mouse, Sebastian, Bruni, Tinker Bell, Bo Peep, Cheshire Cat, Miguel, Joe Gardner, Celebration Daisy Duck, Celebration Goofy, Piglet, Lumiere, Frozone, Dory, Dante, BB-8, Celebration Pluto, Lady Tramp, Jaq, Rocket, Edna Mode, Jiminy Cricket, Simba, Winnie The Pooh, Cogsworth, Gus, Hei Hei, Mad Hatter, Stitch, Woody, Groot, Olaf, Pua, Pinocchio, Celebration Donald Duck, Dumbo, Pumbaa, Thumper, Celebration Chip, Nemo, and Timon.
