How to Celebrate Disney100 at Walt Disney World Resort
But is Disney Becoming Oversaturated with Anniversary Celebrations?
As the Walt Disney Company celebrates its 100th birthday, they've created a few ways to mark the occasion at Walt Disney World
See Mickey and Minnie in their Platinum Best
EPCOT is the center of the Disney100 celebration at Walt Disney World and things will ramp later this year during the Disney100 celebration when the park overhaul is completed. As part of this, Mickey and Minnie will be available for meet and greets in their platinum attire.
Admire Special Spaceship Earth Lighting
Spaceship Earth has some new lighting effects for Disney100.
This will include visuals from the Disney Company history, including character icons, park imagery and the Disney100 logo, all appearing in the Spaceship Earth lighting. Watch for the Wonderful World of Disney TV show opening and the Mickey-shaped balloons sold on Main Street U.S.A.
Disney100 Selfies
Disney100 selfie backdrops will be in place in all four theme parks and Disney Springs.
Surprise Character Visits at Disney Resort Hotels
As the Disney100 celebration comes to life, watch for surprise visits from Disney characters at Walt Disney World hotels. They'll be wearing their special platinum outfits.
Celebrate With New Food and Drinks
As of May 1, Disney100 treats have starting appearing, including the Petite Cake for a limited time at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs. This has layers of vanilla chiffon, berry mousse and berry compote, all topped with a celebratory Disney100 Medallion macaron.
“The inspiration of this cake pulls from the rich purple and platinum colors used for the Disney100 celebration,” Chef Amanda shared. “The drapery on the sides of the cake represents the traditional bunting that adorns Main Street, U.S.A. for special occasions. And of course, Mickey Mouse is proudly represented on the front of the cake because as we all know: ‘It all started with a mouse.’”
This is the first on many Disney100 food items that will appear all over Walt Disney World.
Find the Perfect Disney100 Souvenir
Disney100 merchandise is already available at Walt Disney World and the Cinderella Premium Bucket is coming back, this time with a Disney100 makeover that will be exclusive to Magic Kingdom. Stay tuned for more on when this one will debut.
