Walt Disney World turns 50 in October. In celebration, the typical Orlando International Airport arrival experience will get a little more magical.
According to the Disney Parks Blog, Disney Cast Members are working with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) and Orlando International Airport (MCO) to transform the arrival experience this fall. The transformation will include:
- A large art installation in the terminal train stations, full of your favorite Disney characters.
- An immersive photo op in a recreated Disney ride vehicle.
- A bright glow of “EARidescent” light patterns in the airport.
