More 50th

Also for the 50th, Disney put out a set of collectible coins. Susan wanted to get them all, so in early October I stopped by several locations after work to purchase them. When I grabbed the ones in Animal Kingdom I also took photos of the 50th statues there. 

Last week, Jennifer got to do a behind the scenes tour of the Haunted Mansion.

Also as part of the 50th anniversary celebration, Disney premiered a new fireworks shows in Epcot, Harmonius. Jenn went to the park last night to watch it. Disney also added programmable lights all over Spaceship Earth.

Disney World's 50th

On October 1st, WDW began celebrating its 50th anniversary. In September, they added 50 golden statues of characters in the parks. Last Tuesday we went to Epcot to check out the 50th decorations and have dinner at Garden Grill.

 

Wednesday evening Susan and I went into the Magic Kingdom to see the Happily Ever After fireworks before it went away for a new show, Enchantment, premiering for the 50th. This weekend we met friends for dinner at Cape May Cafe.

Last night, Jennifer was asked to attend a special "Harry Potter" event at Universal's Islands of Adventure. It celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first movie. Jenn often posts photos on Instagram in Harry Potter outfits at Universal and someone in their marketing department must have noticed.
