There is A LOT to experience in Disney World for the 18-month long 50th-anniversary celebrations and we’ve been taking you along with us for it all!

Cinderella Castle
And, while new rides, restaurants, and treats get a lot of the glory, there are some other details that you might miss if you’re not paying attention — Disney is all about the big things AND the little things after all! Well, today Disney is taking us behind the scenes to show us how they make THOUSANDS of one of the smallest 50th-anniversary details there is!
We first brought you news about the NEW celebratory name tags back in September 2021 and Cast Members have been sporting the shimmery new EARidescent accessory ever since! These little beauties feature the iridescent color palette that can be found on LOTS of 50th-anniversary merchandise and the Cast Member’s name and hometown (or college if they’re participating in the Disney College Program) outlined by sparkly gold details and the Disney World 50th-anniversary logo.

50th Anniversary Cast Member Name Tags
And, if you’ve ever wondered how Disney makes these iconic name tags, we’ve got your answer! Disney recently shared a video on their Disney Parks Instagram page that gives us a look into the creation of these name tags. Check out the video below to see for yourself!
Did we really see Disney World using an airbrush to get that iconic EARidescent color?! That’s pretty cool if we must say so ourselves! Be sure to pay attention to the nametags when you’re visiting and stay tuned to DFB for more of the latest Disney news and updates!
