New Disney Art Display & Store Coming to Orlando

We love to celebrate special moments at Disney and when it comes to celebrating the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, our excitement goes above and beyond – and even sky-high in Central Florida.

Adding a little pixie dust is just what we do, so expect to see some extra magic soon when a new larger-than-life outdoor art display along the popular I-4/International Drive corridor in Orlando animates to showcase some of your favorite Disney characters and attractions in a whole new way.

Get ready to experience Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and other Fab 50 golden sculpts as they come to life in an impressive ribbon-like Disney art display that enwraps the outside of the Hollywood Plaza garage. And that’s only the beginning! The dynamic art display will feature additional Disney characters, celebrations and more over time.

“We took a lot of knowledge from setting up the 50th art installations in our parks and the Orlando International Airport and wanted to spread a little of that magic out into the world,” Will Gay, design director with Disney’s Yellow Shoes Creative Group, said. “It all started with a little idea and a question – could we do this? Could we turn this into a dynamic art display bigger than anything we’ve ever done before?”

When you come inside the building, you’ll find a new Walt Disney World Store that combines merchandise, ticket sales and the first-ever interactive Disney Vacation Club Virtual Discovery Station. Opening May 31, this one-stop will give visitors to Central Florida a convenient way to purchase commemorative souvenirs, park tickets and explore Disney Vacation Club membership.

With floor-to-ceiling screens, The Disney Vacation Club Virtual Discovery Station can transport guests to our theme parks, resorts and cruise destinations around the world via first-person virtual tours, photo galleries and videos.

Known as a popular retail and entertainment destination in Central Florida, I-Drive is the perfect spot to highlight all the magic the Walt Disney World Resort has to offer. So keep an eye out for Mickey, Minnie and other Disney favorites looking ever so fabulous the next time you travel down the I-4/International Drive corridor. They are sharing pixie dust as a reminder that you have an open invitation to come experience The World’s Most Magical Celebration.

Name a better brunch…we’ll wait 🤤 For $45.0 Name a better brunch…we’ll wait 🤤 For $45.00 per adult on the Disney Wish you can enjoy an endless amount of breakfast & lunch while enjoying the views of Nassau (3 & 4 night cruises) or the sea (4 night cruises) 🌊 There was not one thing we wouldn’t have ordered again — that’s how good the menu was. Each meal comes with a complimentary champagne or mimosa (the group opted for OJ 🍊but I opted for pineapple 🍍) and additional beverages can be ordered while you enjoy your meal for a nominal fee. When it comes to the menu…you can enjoy anything from pancakes to ravioli, croissants to soup and the servers are wonderful making sure your meal is timed out just right. My favorite part was confirming that the food truly tasted as good as it looked. This is something I wouldn’t miss on any Disney cruise, but especially the Wish. The venue is beautiful, sleek and perfectly themed 🕰️ Have you dined at Palo before?

Piano Bar Paradise 🎹💟 Nightingale's is one o Piano Bar Paradise 🎹💟 Nightingale's is one of the best spots for pre or post dinner drinks on the Disney Wish. The best part of the location is how close it’s located to the Grand Hall. Close enough to the action, but far enough to enjoy an adult exclusive fairytale setting. This bar is inspired by Cinderella’s rendition of “Sing Sweet Nightingale” 🎶 The pearlescent bubble chandelier & music note touches are so intentional. The music was enjoyable and the pianist added a special touch to be remembered. We tried the 🦋Butterfly🦋 from the Smoke Bubbles menu: Bombay Sapphire, Butterfly Pea Tea, Citrus. Delicious!! The beverage names are so clever and if you love Cinderella like us, you’ll want to check this out.
