From the beginning of Walt’s dream in 1953 to the 50th anniversary on October 1, we’re looking back at five decades that have shaped history and made memories for millions of people around the world. We can’t wait for this weekend’s festivities—including a special ceremony with Mickey Mouse himself! After 50 years, it’s challenging to pick just one favorite experience from our time at Disney World.
But if you had to think about it for a minute or two (or more), here are some things you might consider as your favorites:
