I would like to wish a Happy 49th Birthday to Walt Disney World and the Magic Kingdom. In celebration of this event, here's a cast photo from 1971:

[Walter Elias Disney]

It’s that special time of year to wish a Happy Birthday to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World and the dreams of Walter Elias Disney and Roy Disney. I am thankful for every moment I have spent with family and friends in your special park and I know the years of happiness will continue to grow! May the current and previous cast members smile with joy on this special day knowing they are responsible for the creating the happiness/magic for all guests that have walked through that special hallway leading into Main Street U.S.A. Cast members bring smiles to our face! Thanks for all the memories you’ve given to me. No matter how old I get, you are a gift in my life, and on your special day I salute you for all the joy and happiness you have provided. I give you my gift of appreciation. Take it with open arms, and embrace my gratitude! Happy Birthday, Magic Kingdom- The Most Magical Place on Earth!

Allow me to join in with the happiest of birthday wishes! WDW has given people so much joy over the years and is responsible for generational family memories. How many places on earth can you say do that? WDW is, simply put, my happy place and I am so grateful for everything it has been and everything that it will be. I hope every family enjoys WDW like I and my family do! And I hope that everyone’s next trip to WDW is the best of their lives!
