The World's Most Magical Celebration Begins October 1st!

October 1, 2021 “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” honoring the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort will begin and run for 18-months.  Here are some of the events that will begin October 1st.

​“Harmonious” at EPCOT, will be one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney park. This new show will take place around the World Showcase Lagoon and is a powerful tribute to the stories and songs that unite us, embracing new technical magic that incorporates pyrotechnics, choreographed moving fountains, lighting and media in new ways. “Harmonious” will invite Guests to travel the globe through new interpretations of classic Disney songs as you’ve never heard them before, reimagined in more than a dozen languages by a diverse group of 240 artists from around the world.

​There will also be new daytime entertainment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. “Disney KiteTails,” will come alive several times daily at the Discovery River Amphitheater beginning Oct. 1. Performers will fly windcatchers and kites of all shapes and sizes, while out on the water elaborate three-dimensional kites – some stretching to 30 feet long – will depict Disney animal friends, including Simba, Zazu, Baloo and King Louie. These colorful creations will dance through the sky to the beat of favorite Disney songs in an uplifting, vibrant experience for the whole family.

​The main event will be held at Magic Kingdom Park.  To kick off the celebration, a new nighttime spectacular, “Disney Enchantment,” will debut at Magic Kingdom Park. This evening extravaganza will take Guests on a journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment. Inspiring everyone to believe in magic, “Disney Enchantment” will feature music, enhanced lighting, stunning fireworks and, for the first time, immersive projection effects that extend from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A.

​Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be the hosts for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” and they’ll be decked out in sparkling new EARidescent fashions for the 50th anniversary. Their best pals will get in on the shimmer, too, as Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto, and Chip ‘n’ Dale will be sporting their own custom-made EARidescent looks beginning Oct. 1. Guests will get a chance to see them when they travel through Magic Kingdom Park several times daily in the new “Mickey’s Celebration Cavalcade.”

​These eight friends will also be featured in special golden character sculptures debuting Oct. 1 at Magic Kingdom. There will be 50 characters total in this series of sculptures that will be displayed across all four theme parks. Disney will reveal more of the “Disney Fab 50” as excitement builds for the big day, as well as the surprising ways Guests will be able to interact with these beautiful sculptures as part of the 50th anniversary celebration.

​I just can’t wait to join the fun on my trip in October!  But the celebration runs for 18-months.  So, there is plenty of time for you to join “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” at Walt Disney World too!
