The biggest winner of the celebration was the Beacon of Magic moments on the outside of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT. There were also other Beacon of Magic moments offered in other parks, the Fab 50 golden statues, merchandise, food, cavalcades of different types, Disney KiteTails, and also a theme song that was performed in different ways in different parks and locations.

As things move forward, the focus will be on Disney’s 100th anniversary as the Disney100 celebration expands from the Disneyland Resort to EPCOT. This will not only celebrate this milestone in the history of The Walt Disney Company, but also the culmination of the multi-year transformation of EPCOT. There will be a platinum statue of Mickey Mouse and also Mickey and friends will be dressed in their Disney100 outfits that they currently are found in at Disneyland. There will also be a new nighttime spectacular that will debut at the park.

In the short term, EPCOT Forever! will return to light up the night at EPCOT. The barges that arrived for Harmonious will be going away. The popular Happily Ever After will be returning to the skies over Magic Kingdom. With its return comes new projections on Main Street, USA.
