Disney Enchantment

Fifty years ago, the Walt Disney World® Resort, born of impossible dreams, opened its gates. And now the magic is calling everyone to The World's Most Magical Celebration – the 50th Anniversary at Walt Disney World® Resort. Our Theme Parks will shine like never before as the four Walt Disney World® Theme Park icons transform at night into magnificent Beacons of Magic*. Throughout the 18-month celebration, you’ll be immersed in shimmering EARidescence and make special memories such as discovering the Disney Fab 50 Characters cast in gold around the Theme Parks.

At Magic Kingdom® Park, pure fantasy reigns. Believe in make-believe as you race through a diamond mine on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, sail with the Pirates of the Caribbean®, fly with Dumbo, join 999 happy haunts in Haunted Mansion® or take the wildest ride in the wilderness on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad®. And as part of the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World® Resort, Disney Enchantment, an all-new nighttime spectacular, takes you on an incredible journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment. Everyone will believe in magic, with captivating Disney music, enhanced lighting, stunning fireworks and immersive projection effects that extend from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A.

Come experience EPCOT® where Disney storytelling welcomes you into incredible worlds brimming with possibilities. Adventure is served at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, now open in the France Pavilion, where guests join Chef Remy through Gusteau’s bustling Paris restaurant. Sail through Arendelle with Anna, Elsa and friends. Enjoy one of the largest nighttime spectaculars created for a Disney Park. Harmonious is a beautifully crafted nighttime dreamscape of Disney music and images, reimagined by a culturally diverse ensemble of musical artists from around the world.

Explore the magic of nature at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park where you’ll journey to a distant world on Pandora—The World of Avatar, where you’ll hike under mystical mountains and climb aboard the back of a banshee on Avatar Flight of Passage. Experience animals in their natural habitats on Kilimanjaro Safaris®. Favorite Characters are taking to the sky in an all-new, sensational performance, Disney KiteTails. Hearts and imaginations will soar as incredible kites and colorful windcatchers dance through the air to the beat of beloved Disney songs.

And at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, we’re celebrating attractions and lands that make a day here even more extraordinary. At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge feel the rush of taking over control of the Millennium Falcon and find yourself caught in a battle in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. In Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway you can enter a crazy colorful cartoon world as you join Mickey and Minnie on a runaway adventure. Become a toy with Buzz and Woody and take in a ride on Slinky Dog as he careens through Andy’s backyard in Toy Story Land.

Of course, when you’re not busy enjoying all that the Theme Parks have to offer, be sure to check out Disney Springs®—from shopping to dining to entertainment, here you’ll find happily whatever you’re after.
