How Disney World Will Be Celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary

Starting October 1, 2021 Disney World will celebrate Disney World’s 50th anniversary.

It will be called The World’s Most Magical Celebration. It’s such a big deal that Disney has created a new word, EARidescence. That word is to describe what you will see when you visit.

Cinderella’s Castle will get a makeover. It will have golden bunting and a 50th anniversary crest. Cinderella’s Castle will have pixie dust also.

New touches are coming to life at Hollywood Tower Hotel in Hollywood Studios.

Over at Animal Kingdom, fireflies will be at the Tree of Life.

In Epcot, lights will shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth connecting to each other and resembling stars in the night sky. This will stay in Epcot even after the celebration.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse will even have new outfits. The outfits will be made out of custom made fashions of EARidescent fabric with gold highlights. I love their new outfits!

This celebration will be for 18 months. Yes, you heard that correctly! I’ll keep you updated in case we get more information about Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration!

Discount MagicBand Choices

I have mentioned before how Disney is no longer giving out free MagicBands and I wanted to talk a little bit more about that.

If you have a hotel reservation you can get a discount MagicBand. The Birthday Cake MagicBand has a special pre-order price that is $20.00.

The Olive Green MagicBand has a special pre-order price of $5.00. All the other MagicBands that are just one color are also this price.

The Darth Vader MagicBand has a special pre-order price of $10.00.

The Character Autograph MagicBand has a special pre-order price of $15.00.

Those are all the discount MagicBands you can choose from. These special pre-order prices are only available if you have a hotel reservation. If you have a hotel reservation, you have a lot of options to choose from!

This Is How Disney World Is Celebrating Black History Month

February is Black History Month, so Disney World is celebrating! Keep on reading to see how Disney World Resorts and Disney Springs are celebrating Black History Month.

Disney Springs is celebrating soulfully with art displays, special food, and more.

Do you like art? Well, then you are going to be happy to know that there are now four new art displays in Disney Springs! All four were inspired by the movie Soul on Disney+. The art displays were made by Black artists Bee Harris, Bianca Pastel, Arrington Porter, and Cory Van Lew. The art displays are the artists’ interpretation of the movie Soul.

On Sundays, Mondays, and Thursday evenings each week musicians are performing jazz music. Disney Springs is calling Sunday Smooth Sunday, Monday is Motown Monday, and Thursday is Jazz Thursday.

Disney Springs has special food available! At Amorette’s Patisserie you can get special desserts inspired by the movie Soul. Walt Disney Animation Studios has food inspired by The Princess and the Frog movie.

Disney Resort hotels are doing a Movies Under the Stars event all February long! This is free for guests staying at Disney Resorts. You can sit outside and watch movies celebrating Black culture like The Princess and the Frog.

The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure opened in Epcot on February 1, 2021. It will stay open beyond the end of the month. The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure is an exhibit that shows historic artifacts of famous jazz musicians and teaches you more about jazz.

If you are in Disney World make sure to go to Disney Springs, Epcot, and a Disney Resort hotel to celebrate Black History Month!

Face Masks Will Still Be Required In Disney World Even If You Get The COVID-19 Vaccine

If you go to Disney World right now, you are required to wear a face mask.

Disney now has said that even when you get the COVID-19 vaccine you will still need to wear a face mask. This rule is required for everyone two years old and up.

Your mask at Disney World right now has to meet certain rules. Such as:

Your mask must have two layers of breathable fabric
It has to cover your nose and mouth
Your mask has to fit your face comfortably
It needs to be secured by ties or ear loops

The only time you can take your mask off right now is if you are eating, drinking, or swimming. When you are eating, you have to be physically distant from other people.

Planning to eat at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe? Remember to be physically distant from others.

You can’t wear a costume mask at Disney World and your mask must be a fabric mask.

I will continue to keep you updated with Disney News happening in the parks!

I Have A Lot Of Disney News To Share With You

A lot of changes have been happening recently in the Disney World parks and resorts and today let’s talk about it.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be redecorating their Main Tower Guest Rooms from April 2021-September 2021. Online there is limited room for Disney’s Contemporary Resort guests in April because of the construction.

For Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, if you stay at a Disney owned resort you will be able to go into the Disney parks 30 minutes before they open. This is called Early Theme Park Entry. My advice would be to do a ride that usually has a long wait time.

The Jungle Cruise is getting a brand new story. It will have new adventures, humor, wildlife, and even new characters. I’m excited for The Jungle Cruise to be getting a new story because it is a great attraction!

On January 1, 2022 Disney World will discount Magical Express airport transportation services.

That is the free transportation that takes you from Disney World Resorts and Orlando International Airport. A Brightline train will take you from Orlando International Airport to Disney Springs. The Brightline Train is supposed to be ready in 2022.

I hope you enjoyed this Disney News list! We have a lot to look forward to for the Disney World Parks and Resorts!

Festival Of The Lion King Is Coming Back To Animal Kingdom

Due to the corona virus pandemic Festival of the Lion King is currently closed, but it’s coming back!

In the summer, Festival Of The Lion King will return to Animal Kingdom. The show will have physical distancing guidelines. The seating will be different from before and the choreography will also be different for physical distancing reasons.

I am so excited that Festival Of The Lion King is coming back! My family and I love this show and we see it every time we go to Disney World.

Hall Of Presidents Is Currently Closed

Hall Of Presidents is a show in Liberty Square where you get to learn about the presidents of The United States Of America. Every four-eight years a new animatronic is added to this show when a new president is elected.

Hall Of Presidents is currently closed and will be closed until April 3, 2021. Hall Of Presidents will be closed because Disney is adding the new president of The United States of America, President Biden, to the show.

Disney will work with President Biden by recording his voice for Hall Of Presidents. Disney will also create an animatronic President Biden.

When this ride reopens, I promise to tell you!
