The advertisement also features the 50th anniversary anthem, “The Magic Is Calling.”

Take a look below.

Disney shared a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the song last month.

“It’s such a tremendous honor to write something that celebrates a place that brings so much joy to so many people,” producer Alana Da Fonseca said. “There’s magic all around us, and when you’re there, you are feeling it at every turn.”

Leaders said guests will soon hear the anthem in a variety of ways, including at Mickey’s Celebration Cavalcade, Main Street Philharmonic and Dapper Dans.

This is the latest commercial celebrating the big anniversary for Walt Disney World.
