R2-D2 joins the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection

A special visitor from a galaxy far, far away is coming to Disney! R2-D2 is joining the celebration for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! 

The Star Wars droid character will be joined by 49 unique character statues as part of the “Disney Fab 50,” a new collection of golden sculptures debuting Oct. 1, 2021, across all four Walt Disney World theme parks as part of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” honoring the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto and Chip ‘n’ Dale will be part of a new collection of special golden character sculptures debuting Oct. 1st across the four Walt Disney World theme parks. 



There will be 50 characters featured overall, and guests will be able to interact with the “Disney Fab 50” in surprising ways as part of the 50th-anniversary celebration. However, we do wonder if any other Star Wars characters might be joining R2-D2. We’ll have to wait and see!

During the magical celebration, which begins on Oct. 1st, you’ll be able to find these golden character sculptures throughout all four of the Resort’s parks.  And leading up to their appearances, friends from around the Disney company will be announcing which characters you can expect to see.

You can also virtually “collect” each golden Disney character sculpture on Instagram. To add a sculpture to Instagram Collections, just tap and hold the bookmark icon. Then, on the “Save to” screen, tap the collection where you want to save the image or create a new collection. Happy hunting!
