Disney just shared a new look at some of the Beacons of Magic coming to park icons at all four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in celebration of the 50th anniversary on October 1, 2021, and they are stunning!

You may have seen a sneak peek at Spaceship Earth glowing with Beacons of Magic during last night’s Disney Parks Blog live stream of the new Harmonious nighttime spectacular, but these new photos shared by Disney really do just bring out the full wow factor for how each of the park icons look all dressed up for the 50th celebrations.

These new photos of Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, the Hollywood Tower Hotel, and the Tree of Life exceed any expectations we had from the concept art Disney shared when Beacons of Magic was announced earlier this year, and we can’t wait to see them in person.
