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

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Some people want the merch now, while they are in the parks. Not 6 or 12 or 18 months from now. If they are not pushing, shoving, or getting into fights, why does that make one stupid?

I have no problem with people getting souvenirs for themselves or their acquaintances

Mostly because of my post...directly above yours.

The ebay crowd falls into the pushing, shoving, getting into fights category. But if the general guest or AP holder wants to prioritize merch today over rides (which many have probably been on numerous times anyways), who the heck cares? And the people who do prioritize rides are benefitting because of it. Its a win-win. The downside is the sillies who take it too far, which has already been discussed.

One thing I tend to agree with Dissteve about is that they are invincible as it currently stands because the customers aren’t nearly as intelligent as you are giving them credit for

?

Aren't the people posting to this forum WDW's customers?

Or do you no longer consider yourself to be a customer?

I witnessed the melee first hand while being packed so tight I couldn’t move. I didn’t even want the tumbler! I just wanted to get to the grey polos

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

Was expecting a cavalcade of tons of Disney Characters (like Disneyland Paris's 25th Anniversary of WDW's 40th Anniversary).

Tom Sawyer Island. For the first time since forever. Well, it’s an original 50th anniversary attraction.

I’m good. I’ll be back maybe another 10 years from now.

Anyone else check out the $500 50th Anniversary box on shopdisney? I’m usually a sucker for this stuff, but yikes…

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

It was also used for yesterday's upload on the Disney Parks Youtube channel that told the new offerings.

The “mean” customer…not each individual.

there are no “individuals” at Disney parks. They were built for mass market and the marketing is meant to move masses…not create “one of a kind magical wishes”

Those were easy to get to and I didn’t want that either

Why are the MK wait times so short right now? The longest is HM at 60 minutes but a lot of stuff is around 15.

I remember last week someone mentioned that they’re surprised “what’s coming” has been kept a secret. Day of and no frills or excitement, is there something else coming today that hasn’t been announced?

Because all 43 people who are still concerned about Covid didn’t show up to the parks today.

DUH
