Disney's 50th Anniversary Kick Off

Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary Celebration is finally here...

The world's most magical celebration begins October 1 in honor of Walt Disney World Resort's 50th anniversary! Can you believe it has (almost!) been 50 years since Walt Disney World opened up on October 1, 1971? Time sure flies when you're having fun ;) 

Walt Disney World has been a part of my life since 1975 when I visited with my family for the first time. My parents instilled the love of travel in me and my siblings. My dad still has all our ticket stubs, etc from our visits as well as HIS from Disneyland when he visited as a young boy, just months after it opened.  What a collection he has ✨💙✨

Since my first visit, I’ve recorded at least 100 visits, have ridden every attraction, consumed copious amounts of Mickey bars, ‘Ohana noodles and dumplings and Dole Whips, galore!  I’ve stayed at every resort and even created a business around a place and a brand that brings SO much joy to so very many. 

I feel blessed, honored, humbled and GIDDY to be representing my company, yet again, at a press event to preview the festivities that are set to begin October 1st. 50 years of ✨ magic ✨🧁. WOW!  Follow along as I highlight all the things ☺️ 

Thank you to all my friends and family for your support, your love and your patience with me as I travel the world chasing this “pinch me” dream of mine 🧁

It’s an event five decades in the making! The celebratory event kicks off on October 1 and run through March 2023 - that's for 18 months! and will bring something new to all four resort theme parks and beyond. 

The iconic centerpieces found at each park will be lit with an "EARidescent glow" each night starting 10/1. Disney Characters including Mickey & Minnie and friends have special 50th costumes, and there's new golden character statues at all four parks! Remy's Ratatouille Adventure opens, and Space 220 - the newest restaurant on Disney property - opens to the public for reservations. There is much to be excited about at the parks!
