Celebrating 100 Years of Disney and the Wonder of Mickey and Minnie. Happy New Year! 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of Disney. As we approach this historic milestone, we are inspired by the journey we've been on together and the fans and families who have brought Disney into their hearts throughout the past century.
In 2023, The Walt Disney Company kicks off “100 Years of Wonder,” sometimes also called “Disney100.” The year-long event honors the centennial anniversary of the date brothers Walt and Roy Disney founded the company in 1923. Disneyland Resort in California serves as headquarters for the party.
The year-long Disney 100th anniversary celebration started Jan. 27, 2023, at Disneyland Resort and hops over to Walt Disney World from Sept.22 to Dec.31, 2023.
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts around the world will celebrate Mickey's 90th on November 18, marking the day with commemorative merchandise, photo locations and more.
Summary. It's time to celebrate ... the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World! The World's Most Magical Celebration kicked off Oct. 1, 2021, across all four Disney World theme parks and will run until March 31, 2023.
Meaning, it's time for the next event — the Disney100 Celebration at Disney World. Unlike the 50th, which honored the day the Walt Disney World Resort (including Magic Kingdom) opened on October 1, 1971, the 100th celebrates The Walt Disney Company, which was founded on October 16, 1923.
Officially, Disneyland has indicated that Disney100 will last “throughout 2023.” Unofficially, our expectation is that it'll last longer than that. It's customary for Disney's milestone anniversary celebrations to last at least 18 months–sometimes as long as 2 years.
Highlights Include: Meet Disney Friends Near EPCOT Main Entrance – Goofy and a pal. Meet Favorite Disney Pals at the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival – Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in their Disney100 Celebration outfits. Meet Figment Inside ImageWorks – Figment.
Purple and platinum are the official colors of Disney's 100th Anniversary celebration. The display wall that the sign is placed on features two geodesic collage banners with some of our favorite characters on either side of it.
