Are You Too Late for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration?
Disney has stated that the 50th anniversary for Walt Disney World goes on until March 31st of 2023. But is that really the case? We canvas the entire Florida property to see if the magic is still calling you to this golden anniversary. From new entertainment to attractions; from food & beverage to anniversary merchandise, we look at whether you can really still celebrate or whether the World’s Most Magical Celebration has really moved on. Are you still the magic, or are you too late for Walt Disney World’s 50th? Or has it been lost among Genie+ apps, higher prices and changing CEOs? And will the memories live on for the next 50 years? Join us as on this podcast as we find out.
The podcast is available on Podbean, iTunes, Spotify, and ListenNotes. Please subscribe to the podcast and to this website so you can be notified of upcoming posts and podcasts.
