EARidescent Balloons Fly on Main Street U.S.A.
Today marks the Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary, and the Magic Kingdom is most certainly having “The World’s Best Celebration.” Debuting today, the EARidescent shades of purples, blues and golds decorated a new balloon on Main Street U.S.A.
The energy at the crowd-filled magical theme park encapsulates the excitement of the important milestone for the park. Cast members exuded such excitement early this morning when we arrived at the park before sunrise and continue to share their smiles.
The classic Mickey Balloons shimmer in a golden hue thanks to the array of opalescent colors of the exterior shell.
A deep blue color runs throughout the theming for the 50th anniversary, so it’s no surprise that Mickey’s silhoutte takes on the bold shade.
The 50th logo pops in a glimmering gold on the Mickey balloon insert. The castle outline valiantly surrounds the 50th logo just above the Walt Disney World signage.
Across the bottom of the icon, “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” features in a bold font that runs throughout the majority of the 50th anniversary merchandise. With the actual anniversary today, the Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary celebration runs for the next 18 months, giving guests plenty of opportunities to enjoy the festivities.
Later tonight, Magic Kingdom will release special anniversary balloons that glow white in the Mickey-themed center. The daytime balloons are $14, and the evening light-up balloons are $18.

The Magic Kingdom kicked off this morning’s celebration with the return of its morning welcome show, “Let the Magic Begin.” Mickey, Minnie and all of their pals showed off their EARidescent anniversary outfits and officially began the day’s festivities. The magic just keeps coming today!
