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

[Sirwalterraleigh]

People are responsible for their own behavior. We bought 50th merch last week when we were there without acting like animals. This blame Bob thing for the reaction of people doesn't fly with me.

Bob is inept…

…but the customers are to blame for what they do…all of it

So I'm guessing no type of ceremony today? Was really hoping for a comedy act from Chapek

I was hoping for a resignation.

I am braving a popcorn line but only because we want popcorn.

Hope you have a bucket to refill.

The line for pins is insane, meanwhile did BTMRR, Splash, Pirates and about to walk into HM.

I should add that the popcorn lines in Frontierland aren’t too bad.

Hearing D’Amaro and Chapek are there as well.

Maybe they'll do a boxing match between Bob Chapek & Bob Iger in front of the castle in honor of the 50th, would boost marketing for the 50th and winner gets the company

 

[vikescaper]

I just overheard a couple of Cast Members laughing that the line for Big Thunder is smaller than the one for popcorn. Gotta have those buckets!!!

 

[WaltsTreasureChest]

Is that all they really have for the merch? I was expecting way more and for them to go all out. You’d think their focus on penny pinching would have them making merchandise of absolutely everything.

 

[networkpro]

Even with the 2 of an item limit, they don't have enough merch.

 

[John park hopper]

Popcorn costs next to nothing what are they charging for a bucket of 50th popcorn

Wouldn’t mind meeting Josh. Could do without the Bobs.

Can't look and see what's posted above, so I'll just add my observations from this morning -

Arrived at MK and picked up a couple of the really NICE commemorative guide maps.
Exclusive for today only, and WOW are these are classy looking!
Each Guest is handed one upon entering.
New general Guide Maps are also availible, with the 'Beacons of Light' concept art Castle on the cover....if you can find them.

Long lines for merch.
Just did a quick walk by.
Had to head over to the Polynesian for breakfast, so will be back soon.

Had official confirmation from one of the Park Managers that no one should be worried about not being allowed back into MK if you have a Park Reservation.
We have already discussed this here weeks ago, but for those still nervous.....don't be.
We will al be able to return to the MK at any time.

Park Hoppers however.....not sure about ya'all.

Speaking of leaving -
Guests exiting the Park are given a nice anniversary mini poster.
Sweet!
Get em' while you can, kids!
Wish I could post photos here.....

Currently at the Polynesian Resort., and a CM is strolling around the lobby area playing her ukulele and wishing everyone a happy 50th.
Man....why is this getting me emotional....?

Here's the feels we've all been longing for. I believe it airs as part of the ABC special tonight.

Fist fights, screaming, broken fixtures, emporium is currently in chaos and it’s dangerous, total disaster

The comedy act might be in the two new night shows and kitetails
