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

[dreday3]

Thanks!

I wonder if we will just be there with no celebration? I bet it will feel exactly the same.

Curious if they'll keep the castle decor for the 100th and remove/update the medallion or will they just take it all down?

Disney has said March 31, 2023 for months now. Not sure why this is "news" (not blaming you, @DCBaker, you do good work here)

The thing is I can’t see them putting up a crane in April and around spring break to take it all down. The medallion yes and maaybe the ribbons.

It’s crowded all year. Spring break is no worse than august or September when they used to put up Dream lights.

True. Forgot about that.

Hopefully the Dream lights return next year to.

Good riddance, garbage fire celebration.

I’m guessing the cranes arrive April 1, 2023. There will be as much enthusiasm from Disney for the end of the 50th as there was for the start of it - Zero. I don’t know if they could have bungled this more than they did.

I don’t remember seeing anywhere that this was the confirmed end day until recently

Man Disney really botched this Anniversary. Especially after how much effort and love DLP's 30th Anniversary turned out. And it's only a year until Tokyo turns 40th too!

Where will you get Walt’s chili?

I fear they are dead.

I fear they are dead.

Oh no! Is this based on something you’ve heard?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Yeah. It would apparently need what basically amounts to a full replacement…

But...will they repaint the castle??

Yeah. It would apparently need what basically amounts to a full replacement…

I always thought it looked ugly anyways I’d rather the money be spent on decorating food and beverage venues again. I’m hoping that returns this year after seeing MK got it’s pre Covid Halloween decor package back this year.

At long last, our long parochial nightmare will be over.

I heard they scheduled a couple extra CPs for this night to rip down all the vinyl 50th banners around the resort.

At least the toilet paper will be super smooth in April 2023. Might plan a trip.

Good. Let’s put this failure out of its misery and move on to the next failure.

The good news is, no matter what, Disney will still make truckloads of money at the theme parks in any event.
