The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

[JohnD]

I’d like to see those too. I’d also like to see the Orange Bird as a walk-around character. I really wish they’d lean more into the nostalgia of the parks.

All of the 50th anniversary decor is nice, but I really want some retro 1971 vibes.

It's shame the people this day in age can't stand an extra 9 mins...

It's not about that I don't think, but more about how many more people can see the attraction on busy days by shortening it?

It would really be a nice touch to bring back the original shows for the 50th anniversary. It's not like they can't change the program out and the AAs react as programmed to the extended audio.

But, it's 9 Minutes....Plus the reason some songs and jokes were cut was they were too "sensitive" to this day in age..

Let the Magic Begin returns 10/1, according to a CM I know.

The thrilling start to the celebration we didn't know we needed.

I guess that makes sense, even if only on 10/1. They need some kind of show to start off the 50th. Then I guess after that, it will have a 50th anniversary spin on it.

The Welcome Show at the Train Station was a better show!

Hopefully that wasn't Steve's big insight! LOL!

It’s back on the schedule indefinitely; it’s also now showing times on Disneyworld.com

I doubt Steve would indicate that as a surprise.

Hate to admit it but it would be a surprise for most people. Last time we saw that was what March 15 2020?

Certainly not the only surprise.

Am I alone in my involuntary gag reflex becoming engaged every time I read the word EARidescent? After all these months I still can’t get over how cheesy it is.

I'm still busy getting "triggered" by the overuse of LatinX by Disney lately.

The amount of people inside the attraction and outside will still remain the same.

C’mon Festival…

C’mon Festival…

It would be very impressive for them to keep rehearsals secret.

And off the Calendar! I take it you haven't heard of any? We sometimes hear of overnight tests of Castle Shows and Pyro. I'm guessing Enchantment is not done testing. But what about 50th Calvacade/Surprises?

Interesting to note that the Mickey-shaped pumpkin wreaths have now been replaced with the Cinderella carriage wreaths down the entire extent of Main Street.

Heard an insider paint a grim timeline about the return of FoF and Fantasmic - probably not until spring or summer for both.

Hopefully it's fluid.

What if the surprise is the return of the Station DJ… all day everyday
