Magic Kingdom Being Prepped for the 50th Anniversary at Walt Disney World
Disney World shared that many areas of Magic Kingdom Park are getting prepped for the 50th Anniversary. The infamous Main Street Confectionary on Main Street USA will get a refresh along with The Chapeau (the place where you can find your favorite Mickey Ears).
These two retailers will find a temporary home on Main Street USA starting on March 29th. Disney has not shared a completion date just yet.
I also learned that several Fantasyland attractions will soon get some fresh paint and other magical enhancements to celebrate the 50th.
I do not expect any Fantasyland closures based on what Disney has shared with me.
So far, Cinderella Castle received a new paint scheme along with gold leaf and bunting. The carousel in Fantasyland is being given fresh paint as we speak.
The entrance signs to Walt Disney World and the parking booths have also been repainted with new gold and royal blue paint schemes.
The Walt Disney World Railroad - Main Street USA station is currently under renovation, I can’t wait to see how it looks when it’s finished!
We also learned that Ratatouille will open on October 1st!
Keep and eye out for more updates as Disney World ramps up for the 50th starting on October 1, 2021!
And speaking of the 50th Anniversary Celebration, I have several offers available for fall 2021 if you’d like to be there to experience it for yourself.
Disney Treasure is on the way! She just left the shipyard in Germany and is on the way to Port Canaveral, Florida.
