The sliver lining in the cloud that was us having to postpone our Disney World vacation for a year is that we were there for the park’s 50th anniversary, the “World’s Most Magical Celebration.” The celebratory atmosphere was everywhere at the parks, but especially with the golden statues of Disney characters scattered throughout the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and the Animal Kingdom. We didn’t see all of them, but we also didn’t do too badly!

There were other hints of a celebration, including cakes with “50” toppers:

There were other 50s here and there, as well, including on the castle, in the landscaping, and on the lamppost signs:

And the main characters have special anniversary costumes…I got pretty close to Donald Duck in his!

I love being part of a celebration, and no one knows how to celebrate like Disney!
