Updated

As Walt Disney World® Resort continues its sparkling 50th Anniversary through the end of March, a new celebration of Disney creativity, imagination and innovation is fast approaching. It’s Disney100, a global celebration for all the Disney Parks.

The Disney100 Celebration commemorates the enchantment of Disney storytelling with Guests who have made lifelong memories and will continue to enjoy the connections and special moments made during their visits to Walt Disney World® Resort.

Now’s the time to begin planning how you and your family will join in the Disney100 Celebration. So we’ve compiled a brief guide to help you plan. And remember, when you use your Disney® Visa® Credit Card, you can receive special vacation financing when booking qualifying vacation packages.1 (You may want to visit more than once!)

A Different Story Every Month

In April, Walt Disney World® Resort will begin honoring the Company milestone. Monthly spotlights on some Disney favorite franchises like Pixar, Mickey & Friends, and Disney Princess will help Guests fully enjoy and immerse themselves in the many Disney stories they love.

Guests will see and can celebrate these stories and lovable Characters in existing experiences such as Character caravans, parades, photo opportunities, merchandise, attractions, experiences and more. In addition, the Disney Resort Hotels will offer movies under the stars and poolside parties with themed activities for more ways to celebrate these stories.

Looking to the Future

Later this year, the Disney100 Celebration comes to EPCOT®, inviting you to join in and see the transformation of the Park with all the magic of possibilities. It’s the culmination of the EPCOT® transformation with its multitude of new and fan favorite experiences. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect:

• A platinum Mickey Mouse sculpture will welcome you to celebrate at EPCOT®.

• Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, opening in late 2023, will allow Guests to explore an outdoor trail in a lush environment that tells the story of the cycle of water.

• Mickey and Minnie Mouse will dress in their celebratory platinum outfits.

• At the beautiful new World Celebration Garden, also slated to open in late 2023, Dreamers Point will showcase an evocative statue of Walt Disney, offering another perfect opportunity for photographs.

• A brand-new nighttime spectacular, scheduled to launch in late 2023, will light the sky over the World Showcase Lagoon.

• And while you’re at EPCOT®, be sure to visit our Cardmember-exclusive Disney Character Experience at our private Cardmember location.23
