Disney World releases 1st commercial for 50th anniversary celebration
Disney World will begin celebrating its 50th anniversary on October 1 and ahead of its celebration, Disney has released a new commercial teasing to the magic to come.
The commercial, released Friday, starts in a “secret room” inside Cinderella Castle. As the clock strikes 12, the magic inside a drawer labeled “50th magic” is unleashed and makes its way across the resort.
The “magic” then transforms the park icons — Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, Tower of Terror and the Tree of Life — into “Beacons of Magic.” For the celebration, each icon will get an overlay that includes projections.
In a post on its official parks blog, Disney said the commercial also includes more than a dozen Easter eggs, including Cinderella’s glass slipper and the Enchanted Rose from “Beauty and the Beast.”
Disney World’s “Most Magical Celebration” will last 18 months long and include a new look for Cinderella Castle and the debut of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at Epcot’s France pavilion.
There are over a dozen Easter eggs to spot, including Cinderella’s glass slipper, and the Enchanted Rose from "Beauty and the Beast." See if you can spot them in the video.
Walt Disney World has been working on getting the parks ready for the "The World’s Most Magical Celebration," which is planned to begin on October 1. The celebration will last 18 months. The Magic Kingdom has been adding special decor to Cinderella Castle for its upcoming celebration.
More decorations across the parks will be added in the coming months "as the turrets and towers receive shimmering pearls, jewels, and ribbons in royal blues and iridescent golds. At night, this royal landmark will be a vision to behold, as it becomes one of the shining Beacons of Magic, shimmering with EARidescence."
