“The Magic Is Calling Us” NEW Magic Kingdom Welcome Show for 50th Anniversary

Donald really needs his hat. But love how he's getting down

[@chrishintz1077]

It’s still early in the day. He’s not yet frustrated. ;).

[@annwisniewski2425]

We love Disney, and just got home 6 days ago from Orlando. We did the Boo Bash, and we’ve done plenty of private events in the past, yet this year we were disappointed. They shortened the hours. Hiked up price. Now watching this and Enchantment last night, I’m not seeing or feeling the nostalgia of 50 years of what my kids have fallen in love with. Love you Walt Disney World, but I’m holding out hope that you hear what your dedicated Disney families are telling you.

[@variandoesstuff]

Well the pandemic changed a lot of things, feel lucky to at least have the chance to go

[@jeremyrichards9294]

I glade the 50th logo was on the castle, otherwise I would have thought this was just the normal every day park opening event.

[@bobcheapek4334]

Any call answered to me will be directed to my piggy bank

[@galemiller5694]

Thanks for everything you guys do you're the best

[@christopherzygmunt1324]

I still miss the train station park opening. It just had that extra bit of Disney magic seeing the characters roll in with the main street townsfolk singing and dancing.

[@joewatts6016]

Ow dear, goofy missed the dance class that day.

[@katz7371]

Yes lmao

[@jacquelinecampbell791]

Goofy looks like he learned the choreo 5 minutes before heading onstage. Lol

[@katz7371]

That’s what I was thinking he still did great tho. The way he looked at chip and Minnie to see what was happening lol

[@brittaniereeder5685]

When me and my mother went to Disney world in March my mother started to cry when micky and Minnie came out it was such a sweet moment and the best week of my life!! And most people would get sick of the song the "magic is calling" I NEVER GET SICK OF IT

[@lavetaloca7790]

WDW News has the most comprehensive coverage. Thanks! PS, Chip n Dale are awesome!

[@Iron4venger]

Donald was FEELIN' IT.

[@RigoLeons]

I need more of this in my life!! Happy Birthday 50th Years of Memories, Happiness and Magic!

[@kimmomagic]

Must be a wonderful spectacle so long as you are 8 feet tall and can see over the forest of smartphones.

[@ZebraLens]

😂😆

[@thedapperdisneydude]

Slightly humorous anecdote: I'm a CM at MK and, so far, the fireworks at the end of this show have startled me every single time I'm outside at the same time they go off. It's a more effective wake up than coffee sometimes. 😂

[@angeloalomar9804]

Thanks for posting! Have a magical day!

[@cassandracatriona]

This gives me true Disney feels! Brings me back to dream along with Mickey! Love it!

[@slackjaw2643]

Thank you for zooming in!!!

[@MrKarmapolice97]

Happy 50th!

[@dollysherman9990]

Glad to see this is back

[@josephbritt6890]

Awesome show

[@galemiller5694]

Damn I wish I was there miss these guys

[@toddw8396]

🎉Happy 50th MK and Happy 39th EPCOT

[@cjsports00]

For the 50th you would expect more. Why didn’t they bring out more characters to open the park? Do something out of the normal.

[@tristahncruzada4338]

plus cricket,tilly,bill,remy,gramma,anne,sprig,hop pop,polly,marcy,sasha,molly mcgee,scratch,libby,andrea davenport,luz,eda,king and amity

[@variandoesstuff]

@@tristahncruzada4338 why would the put characters from Disney channel shows?? The Disney parks are a little bit more about the movies, like-

[@Elizabeth-go4kv]

Because Mickey and his friends are the flagship characters. The legacy originals who are instantly recognized as Disney. Have the characters that started it all open it all. I'm a designer. Think about it for a branding point: who are the characters that have longest represented the Disney brand and are world-renowned for starting this all? Mickey Mouse and Co. The Disney brand is about magic and story telling. Having been kicked things off as a start to what set the stage for the brand and having everyone else come after keeps up the chronological story tradition.

[@Elizabeth-go4kv]

@@tristahncruzada4338 the castle stage is only so big. Those characters are great, but they need ones that are recognized instantly. Not everyone knows channel characters. See my above comment as to why it's Mickey and friends. I LOVE Eda and most of those characters you just mentioned, but think about it from a branding standpoint. 50 year anniversary are huge, especially for something as big as disney. Why would they choose characters who haven't even been around for 5 years for a 50th anniversary?

[@lynnferguson9345]

Love the head snap

[@alexbronynerfman]

🎶Can you feel it a new day a brand new day!🎶 🎶Can you see it a new day a brand new day!🎶 Disney world

[@juliakavanagh3400]

Happy 50th anniversary Walt Disney world 😃🥳

[@horaciolinares8597]

Thank you for sharing! Wdwnt does a great job giving the most current news with Disney . I just wish sometimes when filming events they can zoom in a little to see things that are happening the far away shots are nice but when there is commentary it would be nice to see the people or the characters .

[@JasonHix]

Loves the music but this needs more Characters, the people of Main Street and, the guards of Fantasyland.

[@grumpyandvee989]

THIS! All the feels! I wish they opened the park like this everyday! Thank you for sharing.

[@dylansantos6361]

Happy 50th Walt Disney World

[@floridaliving33881]

I was there it was so disappointing that this was it. We stood around waiting for something only to find out that Bob Chapek aka paycheck did the re-dedication the night before only for the media. One chatty cast member said he didn’t want to get booed. Jokes on him because he was at the GMA area and he got booed.

[@kytasiawegner5963]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🌌🎊🎂

[@mmorri24]

Why doesn't Mickeys mouth move anymore?? What happened there?

[@Bayou22]

I love watching how everyone's head immediately popped into place and they all whipped their phones out at lightning speed! lol

[@tristahncruzada4338]

make cricket, tilly, Anne, Polly, hop pop, sprig, bill, gramma, Remy, Marcy, Sasha ,luz, eda, king, amity, molly McGee, scratch, Libby and andrea davenport and appear at walt disney world at epcot, Hollywood studios,animal kingdom and magic kingdom

[@laurenw94]

The sea of smartphones really depresses me. I don't bother filming things like this. 200 more people will have done that for me 🤧

[@bwridenour]

I have to keep reminding myself that Disney is for all ages. I'm that father that puts his kids on his shoulders because they cant see over the adults streaming to make $$.

[@ccharles33]

Another dud. Missed opportunity after missed opportunity. There should be a huge production show with the Kids of the Kingdom on the castle stage. They really screwed the pooch on this entire celebration. Cheapskate Chapek strikes again.

[@NuggetHQ]

This song was the only good part of the anniversary
