The countdown to Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, beginning October 1, continues! As Guests prepare for their spectacular Disney World vacation during the 18-month long celebration, Disney is putting all the pieces together for the grand celebration! Soon, we will have a chance to scavenger hunt through each theme Park including Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom to virtually “collect” each golden Disney character sculpture on Instagram. The experience is called the “Disney Fab 50” character collection. Overnight, Walt Disney Imagineers were hard at work installing several character sculptures at EPCOT. Check out the stunning golden sculpture photos below!
