Few details have been released so far, but Disney World has revealed plans to bring “EARidescence” to its four theme parks through new lighting effects and decorations. Cinderella’s Castle at Magic Kingdom Park will be “brilliant,” says Disney Parks, and its recent renovation will be augmented with golden pennants, golden ornaments and other improvements.

The celebration, of course, will feature Mickey and Minnie Mouse and the gang dressed in special birthday-inspired outfits in shades of gold and blue to match the iconic Cinderella castle.
“The entire castle will shine with pearls and jewelry, and the towers and towers will be wrapped in iridescent gold and royal blue ribbons,” said George Adams of Walt Disney Imagineering to Orlando Sentinel. “Above the castle gate, a 50th anniversary coat of arms will warmly welcome guests to participate in the festivities.”

The “EARidescence” theme continues throughout the celebration. The resort’s Hollywood Tower building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where the Tower of Terror tour lives, is fully illuminated in a Disney representation. Other attractions, like The Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, receive enhanced features like fireflies. And Epcot’s Spaceship Earth will be lit with new permanent lighting shining on its reflective panels.

The extravagant celebration follows a turbulent 2020 for the theme park, which was forced to close during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopened park, however, plans to extend its opening hours in March.
