To be fair, there will be a parade for 50th, but repurposing old floats. New floats are cancelled. Fun times.
That is all, back to work now.

Disappointing. Unsurprising, too.

The floats we have compared to what they have in Tokyo is an outright embarrassment. To the point where we wont show our children the Tokyo parade on youtube.

You whiffed pretty spectacularly on this one: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads...s-island-will-not-be-opening-up-again.964572/
What happened?
That is what I was told, what two months ago? We will see in the next week I guess. I am honestly still up in the air on anything opening based on the current state of Florida.

Same source that gave you this tidbit as well or a different one?
No, not the same source. It's a contract getting pushed back by at least a year that is this source.
But, I live close enough to MK to see the fireworks daily when they are going off. My house is in a community that is very much full of Disney employees. I heard that Tom Sawyer's Island was on the cutting block months ago. If it is not, I am sorry I posted that. But I still think it is. This forum is for rumors, feel free to ignore me...

Yeah the Japanese in general put a high emphasis on Quality and showmanship whereas the American counterparts are now focused on budget-cuts, price increases, and IP advertisement. Must've gotten to the point where they've become so popular, they think they can get away with this malarkey.

Not that it changes anything in terms of the 50th birthday, but in your opening post you state "New floats are cancelled" and this this follow up you say a contract is being pushed back at least a year. So is the contract cancelled or is the contract delayed?

It appears that TSI is reopening along with the park. According to Disney.
Not trying to antagonize you, I just think it's only fair that people who make bold/definitive statements about future operations revisit those statements when they don't pan out.
Not only is it NOT shuttering for good... but it appears to be reopening effective immediately.

I mean with Splash changing, losing Tom Sawyer island would not be surprising. So I don't think its out of the realm of possibility.
However onto the subject at hand, that is not surprising. Anything that was going to be announced for the 50th is surely dead. Whatever is announced is all we are getting, folks.

It would be surprising to me, considering that Disney has given positive confirmation that it will be reopening as soon as operations resume.

So, is the implication that there will be a night time parade, but just without any new floats? If so then... hello Paint the Night?
Or would it be Hello again MSEP?
