Fifty Years of Magic.
Disney World is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and in honor of the milestone, the city of Orlando is sending one lucky winner to the Most Magical Place on Earth. The best part? That winner will get to bring 49 of their closest friends and family with them.
Visit Orlando, the city’s official tourism association, announced its latest contest earlier this week with details about the grand prize. Orlando will fly out one winner and 49 people of their choosing for a three-night stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel. The city will also provide everyone in the group with Disney theme park tickets. They’ll also be treated to two private catered events organized by a Disney event planner to make sure the experience is magical.
The idea of the contest is to reunite families that the pandemic has separated. To enter, contestants must submit a story explaining why they need a Magical Gathering with their loved ones. The story must be only 250 words and include information about what the group will celebrate once they’re together. Contestants must also have a family photo with their application.
“Being together with family and friends is valued today like never,” Maryann Smith, vice president of sales, services, and events at Disney Destinations, said in a statement. “After so many people have missed so many milestones and special events, our Disney team can’t wait to host the contest winners and other groups for unforgettable experiences. That can only happen at Walt Disney World Resort—especially during The World’s Most Magical Celebration commemorating our 50th anniversary.”
If you’re hoping to win this trip, grab the best writer in your family and get to work. Applications are open now through Nov. 29 and can be submitted entirely online. They announce the winner in January 2022, and the trip must take place March 4 -7, 2022.
