Beacons of Magic | Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary | Sam's Disney Diary | Sam's Disney News | WDW

Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary, "The World's Most Magical Celebration," has begun. The 18 month-long event brings new attractions, nighttime spectaculars, and other magical experiences to Walt Disney World resort. Shining at the center of it all is Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park, welcoming guests with gleaming gold bunting, sparkling golden embellishments. During the 50th-anniversary celebration, all of Walt Disney World's theme parks icons transform at night into Beacons of Magic, each coming to life with their unique EARidescent glow. Cinderella Castle illuminates Magic Kingdom Park with a dazzling radiance and pixie-dust sparkle. At Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, a warm light emanates from the Tree of Life as fireflies gather to usher in the magic of nature. The Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney's Hollywood Studios is awash in brilliance, evoking the golden age of imagination and adventure. And at EPCOT, new lights shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth, connecting like stars in a nighttime sky and creating a mesmerizing symbol of optimism. The iconic structure's permanent new lighting will continue beyond "The World's Most Magical Celebration" as a park's defining feature. The transformation takes place multiple times per night, and I can't pick my favorite. Let me know which is your favorite in the comments below.
