We’re going to have to quote Mickey Mouse and say “Oh, boy!” when it comes to all the Disney news that came out this week!

So we’re going to break down the biggest stories that dropped this week — but hold on to your hats because here’s everything you need to know to stay updated on everything about Disney Parks and more!
Disney World 50th Anniversary
So we got a TON of new announcements about Disney World’s 50th anniversary. And there are a lot of exciting things coming to the big celebration. Magic Kingdom is getting a new fireworks show that will include new projections that will light up Cinderella Castle and Main Street, U.S.A.

There will be a new Character Cavalcade featuring Mickey, Minnie, and all their friends, and everyone will be decked out in brand new outfits. And 50 New Gold Statues representing Disney’s most iconic characters will be spread throughout all four parks.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be getting a new daytime show, too, called Kite Tails. It’s going to be quite the celebration!
Here Are The Biggest Surprises From Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Announcements
Boo Bash Ticket Restock
This year’s Halloween event at Disney World, the After Hours Boo Bash, ran out of tickets for certain days really fast. But if you didn’t manage to get tickets on the date you wanted, you’re in luck — many tickets have been restocked for the event.

We would recommend checking ASAP, though, because these will likely sell out soon, too.
Here Are More Details About The Boo Bash Ticket Restock
Harmonious Premiere
We’ve been following the construction of Harmonious at EPCOT for a while now, but now, we know when the new nighttime spectacular will debut: October 1st.

October 1st is also the first day of Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration, so that day — and night — are going to be huge.
Here’s More About The Debut Of Harmonious
New PhotoPass Policy
When Disney World reopened last year, PhotoPass photographers could no longer take photos with guests’ phones for health and safety reasons. But that policy has been changed and now you can once more hand your phone to photographers so they can snap a quick photo with it for you.

This is just one of many policy changes currently happening at Disney World.

Cast Member Mask Policy Updates
Another Cast Member policy change has come to Disney World’s face coverings guidelines. This week, Disney World announced that fully vaccinated Cast Members are no longer required to wear masks when working outdoors.

This policy changed again a few days later — now, fully vaccinated Cast Members no longer have to wear masks indoors, too.
