Disney World’s 50th anniversary is not the first time Disney has hosted a BIG celebration for a milestone.
To celebrate Disney World’s 25th anniversary back in 1996, Disney transformed Cinderella Castle into a giant pink birthday cake for the entire 15-month celebration. There were people who loved it, and lots of people who hated it.

So whether you want to pretend it’s 1996 again or get the photo you never got of this iconic castle, Genie+ customers will be able to get the birthday cake selfies and photos of their dreams. There are more AR filters too on Genie+ too, including Lady and the Tramp and Ratatouille!
