The 50th-anniversary wrap covering Walt Disney World's Monorail Gold has now been removed.

The limited-time wrap was installed on Monorail Gold in September 2021 for the 18-month anniversary event which concluded at the end of March 2023.

Unlike previous monorail wraps like the TRONorail, the "World's Most Magical Celebration" decal was a partial wrap covering both drive units of the monorail train.

Disney continues to remove 50th-related decor throughout Walt Disney World, with work currently underway on the largest project at Cinderella Castle.

I thought they were a fun addition to the parks. Personally I’d have made the replacement medallions the same bronze/gold color, but that’s just me.

Why? When I go back, whether that’s in a year, 2 years or further out, I’d love to be able to use my MB+ to activate them again. They were fun last year, why not let guests who didn’t get to see them at the time have a chance? You’re free to ignore them if you’re not interested.

The Tinkerbell one looks fantastic, the rest don’t match and look horrible. I wonder why they chose to use silver on bronze statues?

Gotta sell those MagicBand+ somehow

I just wish they'd take them out at this point. The hidden ones, like Tinkerbell and Abu are fun, but the ones out in the open seem out of place. I gave it a pass (to avoid my personal scorn) during the anniversary celebration, but that's far in the rear view mirror at this point.

Agree! Took the post right off my fingertips.

Some of those are fine. Some of them are just perplexing.

The 50th medallions on a number of golden statues at Magic Kingdom that didn't have them removed yet have been recently covered or replaced. 758241

This special was produced by Fox 35, the Orlando Fox affiliate, for the 50th anniversary, and was recently posted to YouTube. I wanted to share since it has an inside look at the costuming 'vault' where costumes from past and present (and even in some cases, future) are stored, how the land for WDW was acquired and an interview with the daughter of one of the landowners, and an interview with three opening day cast members.

I loved it! Watched it three times during my trip this summer.

Way to end your celebration with class and optimism toward the future.

Definitely had the same impression. I'm kind of curious to understand what made Dream and Shine Brighter hit just the right spot. I'm normally not a big fan of the castle shows featuring the characters, but this one just felt like pure joy. I suppose a lot of credit needs to go to the performers, who were fantastic.
