It’s HERE!!! The 50th anniversary has officially kicked off in Disney World!
Some things still haven’t returned to Disney World
And while there hasn’t been any form of a Welcome Show since the parks reopened after its historic closure — today that changed!
Today, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, Donald and Daisy Duck, and more characters welcomed guests to the 50th with a special song and dance!
