We spotted another bit of bunting gone from one of the spires at Cinderella Castle. Cast Members continue to remove 50th Anniversary decorations one piece at a time. Let’s take a closer look.
Bunting Removed From Cinderella Castle
“The World’s Most Magical Celebration” drew to a close a the end of March. Since then, the parks have had menu offerings and decorations systematically removed around the Walt Disney World Resort.
This morning, we spotted more of the 50th Anniversary bunting removed from Cinderella Castle.
Decorations remain in place on the front of Cinderella Castle. We’re guessing they’ll need a crane to remove the golden ribbons from the spire rooftops.
When facing the castle, the bunting has all been removed from the left side, starting at the side of the castle’s entrance.
These spaces previously had bunting hanging. It has all been removed, bit by bit.
The newest bunting to be removed was on the spire pictured to the left here.
Cast Members drained part of the moat and set up a dam to facilitate work on the castle.
This part of the moat has been empty for weeks now as the anniversary decorations are removed one piece at a time.
A metal stairway is in place to help Cast Members enter and exit the moat safely.
A green cherry picker is parked near Cinderella Castle.
We’re not sure when the Cast Members will be done removing the decorations. Recently, the banners hanging around the castle were also replaced. Check out our coverage here.
The 50th Anniversary Celebration medallions are still attached to the Fab 50 Golden Statues installed during the resort’s celebration party. These are interactive, and react to a MagicBand+. If you have the chance, go wave to one while wearing a MagicBand+ to hear a variety of sounds from each of the different statues.
Disney may have wrapped up their 50th Anniversary Celebration, but they have moved on to an even bigger party: the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company.
Disney100 Anniversary Celebration
Across almost all six resorts and on a global scale, Disney is celebrating “100 Years of Wonder.” This celebration is the largest event ever thrown by The Walt Disney Company. The heart of the celebration takes place at Disneyland Resort, as it is “The Place Where it All Began.”
The party kicked off January 27, 2023, and is expected to last through July 2024.
At Walt Disney World, Disney100 will mostly be celebrated at EPCOT with Mickey and Minnie in their new platinum outfits. A new Spectacle of Light will debut on Spaceship Earth, and in late 2023, a new Disney100 nighttime spectacular will replace EPCOT Forever. This show was brought back after the end of Harmonious in early April but has only returned as an interim replacement.
In addition, multiple attractions including Journey of Water, CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, World Celebration Garden, and Dreamers Point featuring the “Dreamer” statue of Walt Disney are all scheduled to open in late 2023 at EPCOT.
