Why you will want to be in a Disney theme park on October 16

While Disney has remained pretty quiet, they have been dropping hints that something big is happening around the world on October 16, 2023.

From humble beginnings as a cartoon studio in the 1920s to its name in the entertainment industry today, The Walt Disney Company proudly continues its legacy of creating world-class stories and experiences for every member of the family. Walt Disney and his brother Roy created The Walt Disney Company on October 16, 1923.

Disney 100 Years of Wonder is the largest cross-company global celebration in the 100-year history of The Walt Disney Company. Disney Parks around the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary, with the heart of the celebration at Disneyland Resort.

We are also beginning to see the celebration kick off at Disney World, with more to come later this year.

Disneyland Paris shared a bunch of new announcements earlier this week, including a new Coco-themed restaurant! At the very bottom they alluded to a bigger celebration later this fall...

Disneyland Paris will soon join in the worldwide Disney100 celebration at Disney Parks! An extraordinary day awaits on October 16, 2023, Disney's 100th anniversary, with one-of-a-kind festivities, exclusive character encounters and unique Disney experiences.

We look forward to sharing more details soon!

Did you catch that? A worldwide celebration on October 16! It seems to me that Guests who visit on that day at any Disney theme park in the world will experience one-of-a-kind festivities, exclusive character encounters (I NEED A REAL LIFE WALT DISNEY MEET AND GREET), and other unique activities.

Disney is keeping pretty quiet about what exactly that day will look like, but we should hear more in the coming weeks and months.

Are you excited about what Disney has up their sleeve for that special day? Do you plan to be in a Disney theme park on October 16? Let us know in the comments below, and share this post with a friend who should be there too!

  1. I was there. Little observation of it. No fanfare, no fireworks, no parade. Truly unbelievable after all the gear and swag with 100

    1. It was truly disappointing that there was nothing for the day. Reminded me of the 50th anniversary at Magic Kingdom.

  2. My 31 yo son his girlfriend and I will be celebrating his and my birthday at Disneyland on October 16... didn't realize that it was the exact day of the anniversary...SO excited!!!

  3. I was supposed to go to WDW this May but a broken shoulder (2 places)last october, and months of therapy I wanted to be able to enjoy. it. My last visit for my 70th birthday last July, i fell and fractured my wrist and elbow on the 4th day of my trip.
    did nothing for the next 6 days.(the first time in 5 years) Pain is gone now from the fractured shoulder and my reservaion is october 15th to october 26. Psyched out that I caught (unkowingly) )the anniversary of the Disney Corporation founding...cant wait

  4. Thank God that DeSantis is finally reeling that out of control Disney World in. They should not be allowed to continue to not have to follow regulations that many other hard working businesses have to follow and comply with. I would expect nothing less from liberals who believe that there should be special rules for those they consider special people !

  5. You sound so uneducated when you use the word woke as if it's a put down. Do you know where that word was actually first used?? In a rap song referring to people who were aware of others and everything around them. It was not used as a negative. However narrowed minded people such as yourself who are racist, homophobic and uneducated think being aware of others is a bad thing. You just sound ignorant. Why does it bother you so much what others do with their lives??? How does it affect you??? IT DOESN'T!!!! if you don't like how other people are living, then mind your own damn business just like you should be anyway!!!

  6. Do you know what the phrase "WOKE" even means???? It was first coined in a rap song and it means to be aware. You sound stupid and uneducated when you call someone woke as if it's a bad thing. Being aware of others and diversity makes you human something you have forgotten to be in your racist, homophobic and uneducated mind. People such as yourself need to stop judging others because how they live their lives has no impact on yours. If you don't like it, don't look and mind your own damn business!!

  7. I happen to think that Disney is still as great as ever. The only ones who take the fun out of it are the crabby people like you who want to ruin it for everyone else

  8. Disney world is ruined. No longer the fun innocent place to take the kids. The woke culture has taken over. Walt is turning over in his grave watching what has happened to his parks. Its a shame. Just like Anheiser Busch Disney will feel it in the pocketbook.

  9. I will be there 10/16 with my daughters!!!! Can't wait to experience what Disney has planned!!
