If you’re like me and can’t wait until Oct. 1 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, then you are in luck! Our friends at McDonald’s are helping us celebrate 50 magical years with an impressive lineup of 50 unique Happy Meal® toys and an exclusive Happy Meal box. This one-of-a-kind collection goes deep into the vault of some of our favorite Disney characters. While “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” will continue for 18 months, these toys are only available for a limited time, so be sure to grab some while supplies last!
If you head to your local Golden Arches® starting this week, you’ll find the EARidescent 8 characters sporting their 50th anniversary celebration fashions in addition to 42 other beloved characters. All of the toys come on one of four colorful bases, each representing one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Great for playing or displaying, each base comes with a lenticular backdrop depicting a day-to-night scene in Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
