* Starting in the early 2020s, changing societal norms forced Disney to phase out all uses of the phrase "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls," in announcements throughout the parks. This most notably affected the Main Street Electrical Parade's famous introductory announcement, which dated back to the 1970s. Altering such an iconic line was always bound to be [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks controversial]], and as if that wasn't enough, this change was made right around the time parade was set to return to Disneyland to celebrate [[MilestoneCelebration its golden anniversary]]. But when the parade started its 50th anniversary run on April 20, 2022, guests found themselves greeted by the following words:
-->'''Disneyland Announcer:''' 50 years ago, a magical parade sparkled to life, bringing joy to the young and young at heart. Alive with imagination, it continues to grow, welcoming new friends and stories, inspiring new generations, and shining into our hearts with its heritage of hope. For its magic celebrates togetherness and the spirit of Walt Disney's words that welcomed the world:

* At Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, the "Friends" statue, which features Roy O. Disney (Walt's brother and business partner) and Minnie Mouse on a bench with Roy holding Minnie's hand warmly just as Roy guided Walt throughout the years and guided the completion of Walt Disney World right after Walt's death in 1966. It's the heartwarming tribute to the big brother who supported his little brother's dreams all those years and then postponed his retirement just to see his brother's last dream to completion.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6Q7QkzCPog The entire "Share a Dream Come True Parade"]] which debuted in Walt Disney World in 2001 as part of an event called [[MilestoneCelebration "100 Years of Magic" made in honor of Walt Disney's 100th birthday.]] All the floats (with the exception of the final float which features Peter Pan, Minnie, Donald and Goofy) had [[http://wdwent.com/mk/photos/mickey_globe.jpg giant snow globes with characters inside.]] The parade previously had a show mode, where the parade would stop and have the guests join the parade for a few minutes. But before the parade would stop, each character would have a wish and tell the audience to have Tinker Bell fly across all the floats. Which then would cause the characters inside each snow globe to have their wishes granted, and cause pixie dust to fly around the characters inside them as well causing the float to spin around. For example, the [[http://wdwent.com/mk/photos/pinocchio_globe.jpg "Wish Upon a Star" float]] would cause Pinocchio to turn into a real boy, and Aladdin's would make the flying carpet fly. The soundtrack for the entire parade is very sweet, depending on what float would come by. The parade lasted until fall 2006, when it got replaced by "Disney Dreams Come True Parade".

* The 2022 Epcot International Festival of the Arts, happened to be the first one to conside with the new ''Beacons of Magic'' lighting ceremony on Spaceship Earth. During the festival, the standard music is replaced with "[[Film/TheMuppetMovie Rainbow Connection]]". The song's already heartwarming enough on its own, but the fact that the lights start to form a rainbow is just the icing on the cake. It helps that Disney used the version heard in ''Film/TheMuppets2011'' which was already rather bittersweet in context.

Grammatical corrections: "it's" is shorthand for "it is." People get this wrong all the time, often resulting like "it is eyes have laser powers," or something to that effect.

* In June of 2016, a group of fans started to organize an event for the Saturday night’s “Kiss Goodnight” at the Magic Kingdom, to pay tribute to the victims of the Orlando Pulse Club shootings. Disney, despite not being the ones to organize or sponsor the event, allowed the event to continue, which they didn’t have to, and allowed Cast Members to attend. During the event, at least 800 guests and Cast Members held up their phones or glow sticks in tribute during the Kiss Goodnight show, which they repeated twice. Afterwards, as the guests were leaving, Cast Members gave guests free Rainbow Pattern Mickey Mouse and Hand Heart pins.

* Remember the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse? It's Tarzan's treehouse these days, and at the end of the tour, tourists now land in Jane's camp, complete with a phonograph. A phonograph playing the song the Swiss Family Robinson danced to. Even when the park changes with the times, Disney still remembers its past.

Even official Disney Twitter accounts gave her likes, and the thread is absolutely heartwarming to see unfold for anybody who loves characters like [[Ride/CountryBearJamboree Big Al]], [[Ride/StarTours Rex]], [[Ride/CraniumCommand Buzzy]], PUSH the talking trashcan, etc.

* The Partners Statue, "Partners" statue, Showing Walt And Mickey holding hands.



** A companion statue, Storytellers, has been installed in California Adventure depicting a young Walt Disney fresh off the train in Burbank with the earlier pie-eyed Mickey sitting on his luggage. And unlike Partners, you can stand next to it for photos!
* At Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, the Friends Statue, which features Roy O. Disney (Walt's brother and business partner) and Minnie Mouse on a bench with Roy holding Minnie's hand warmly just as Roy guided Walt throughout the years and guided the completion of Walt Disney World right after Walt's death in 1966. It's the heartwarming tribute to the big brother who supported his little brother's dreams all those years and then postponed his retirement just to see his brother's last dream to completion.
* It's called The Happiest Place on Earth for a reason. Try not to be in a good mood from the instant you walk in; there's something intangible about the parks that make you warm and happy the second you're in. And kids doubly so.
* The return of ''Film/CaptainEO'' to Epcot in 2010, after Music/MichaelJackson's untimely death. While its initial popularity didn't last (it closed in January 2014), the comeback was welcomed by fans, especially those who were sick of the attraction it was replaced by, ''Honey, I Shrunk The Audience''.
