As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, Disney World also debuted gold character statues in all four of the parks. The Disney Fab 50 Character Collection featured your Disney faves and a “50th” medallion.

Many of us wondered what would happen to all 50 statues once the 50th anniversary celebration concluded, but Disney eventually announced that the statues would be updated to have a more timeless appearance.
Our MickeyBlog reporting team noticed a small change on the statues today! Let’s check out this new update.
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection
MickeyBlog reported on these gold statues this past September noting that the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection was here to stay and getting a refresh. We also noticed that some of the medallions were removed.
Today, our MickeyBlog team discovered that the 50th medallions have been replaced with new silver medallions in Magic Kingdom. Here are Jacques and Gus Gus from Cinderella!

Each medallion is silver and features a small design themed to the character.

Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, most of the statues are either missing their medallions or still have 50th anniversary designs.
Frozone from The Incredibles, however, has been updated!
