Can you comment on what’s still on the table IF vaccines and improvements are made by the fall? I’d imagine WDW has plans on standby once the green light is given?

HEA tag, HarmoniUs, bring entertainment back to the parks. I wouldn’t expect all shows to return by 10/1 at the current pace, though. Even FotLK will take 5 months to return. Anything beyond spit-polish refurbishments are impossible at this point (except JC, of course).
Sad, but understandable.

Oh...blue and gold cupcakes! Surely we can get a decoration on each park’s icon, as well.
Sorry, cupcakes and a park-specific button are as much as we can get these days. Covid, you know.

Can’t hand out buttons. How’s a MDE e-badge and a selfie scavenger hunt sound? What if they sweeten the pot by making your scavenger hunt status shareable on social media?Sorry, cupcakes and a park-specific button are as much as we can get these days. Covid, you know.

Thinking Oct 1 might go a bit differently than what many think as far as packing Main Street and the Hub for a big ceremony? Can’t imagine they are going to want or allow crowding like they did for prior Anniversaries like the 40th. Capacity might be up by then, but they could decide to do a ceremony strictly for media, VIPs and CMs.
Limited merchandise may, likely will and should, be done by virtual queue or online.

At least we can comfort ourselves with the fact that the merchandising department will go all out for the 50th

The Grand Opening of Walt Disney World was pre-taped and aired 4 weeks after the park's opening.
I could see this year's ceremony being the same. I don't expect a live show on the castle stage.

There will be a TV special. Prime-time. It was an easy decision since 10/1 is a Friday.
So that's already planned? Great!
Maybe a huge HEA and 50th Tag in an empty park for ABC?
Well, they can. If they keep them in a big jar of alcohol and let people reach in and grab one.

So for those going to MK on 10/1, it will basically be a regular day, or rather a “Christmas Day” type thing. Everything pre recorded.

Is it also more or less confirmed the whole PTN idea got axed for this year? Obviously we’d have to get FoF back first before a nighttime parade could be considered.

I’ve heard nothing in months. I doubt it’s being discussed since it would be easy to bring it over.
Albeit a rather busy one.
