The Walt Disney Company's 100th-anniversary celebrations have begun. Starting in late September, Walt Disney World Resort will increase its Disney100 celebrations, with EPCOT being the centre of the festivities.

Have you had the opportunity to capture a moment with any of the Disney100 backdrops at the four theme parks or Disney Springs? You can now snap a picture with a brand new platinum Mickey Mouse sculpture located in World Celebration, with the iconic Spaceship Earth in the background. Additionally, don't forget to take advantage of the dazzling Disney100 Magic Shots and PhotoPass offerings available throughout Walt Disney World.

For a fun challenge, explore the all-new mural at the heart of World Celebration and see how many of the 100 beloved Disney characters you can spot hidden within the scene. This expansive mural, located along the walkway to World Showcase, showcases favourite characters throughout the various neighbourhoods of EPCOT. To further immerse yourself in the celebration, take note of the Disney100 platinum banners and décor that adorn World Celebration.

For an extra special experience, meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in their finest platinum attire at the Imagination! Pavilion. Additionally, be sure to witness Spaceship Earth lighting up each night with special colours and lights, accompanied by a unique rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star" - the Disney100 anthem.

Finally, indulge in the culinary delights of the Disney100 celebration with limited-time food and beverage locations during both the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. And if you're looking for a unique souvenir to commemorate the occasion, don't miss out on the exclusive purple metallic Mickey Balloon Premium Popcorn Bucket, available at EPCOT during Disney100.
