Walt Disney World has been preparing for the huge 50th anniversary celebration, and the big day is almost here! Let’s take a look at the people at the very heart of the celebration who are helping bring so much magic to us. Who might those people be? Walt Disney World Cast Members, of course!

There is no doubt about it. Cast Members are at the very heart of Walt Disney World’s anniversary celebration this year. After all, they are the ones who help make your visit as magical as possible.

Sometimes, their help is quite obvious. Other times, you may not even realize it unless you really stop to think about it and look.

Thank you to all of the Cast Members who make a difference!

We’ve put a lot of love and investment into this magical place recently, refurbishing and repainting beloved attractions like Jungle Cruise and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, adding brighter and more dimensional colors to fan-favorite areas, and—of course—adorning the park and Cinderella Castle with breathtaking EARidescent décor.

From the very highest 189-foot turret soaring above the castle to the pathways beneath your feet taking you from one magical land to the next, every detail—big and small, high and low—has been embellished for this momentous occasion.

In true Disney fashion, the details make all the difference. Walking the park for your day of fun and adventure, you may not even notice the colorful variegated gold adorning your favorite areas, the enhanced marquees shining throughout the park, or even the hand-painted murals added to the facades in Adventureland and Fantasyland.

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel looks absolutely stunning, with true gold accents and the ornate railing being restored to its original day glory. Every inch looks as beautiful as ever.

Happy 50th Anniversary
