BREAKING: Cinderella Castle 50th Medallion Removed in Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s 18-month 50th anniversary celebration lasted from October 2021 to March 2023, but it felt like the celebration was never going to end when 50th decorations continued to stay in place throughout Disney World.

After the celebration was over, we were surprised to find so much 50th anniversary decor, merchandise, and more throughout Disney World, Magic Kingdom in particular — but that is finally changing.
50th Medallion is GONE
In case you forgot, here’s what Cinderella Castle has looked like for the last 18 months.

Cinderella Castle on March 31st
For the celebration, a large, iridescent 50th medallion took the place of the usual Cinderella Castle clock. For many people, this was a beautiful addition to the castle!

The clock is back to its usual spot on the front of Cinderella Castle, and we aren’t mad about it.
