Do you think there was ever any truth to that "50 things for the 50th"?

I mean, it was an idea. It died before the pandemic.

I have a feeling we will still get that. It will just feel a lot more... hollow, and "lip service blog post-y"

As @MansionButler84 said, it was an idea. I doubt there was ever truly going to be 50 things. I’m sure we would’ve gotten more refreshes and little things to fluff up the list. It would be more then we’re getting now

There were 18 major projects for the MK alone. Some were falling off the radar even before covid.

I'm still hopeful that ~half of them (admittedly my original number was 15), might survive, even if on a delayed tiemtable to be opened during a later portion of the 50th celebration.

Axing the Main Street Theater was one of the stupidest decisions to come out recently. Would’ve been great for capacity needs & provided that needed show element @ MK

C'mon give us some hints! We're starving out here!

(I'm genuinely thrilled to hear that there may be some hope. I'm more than okay with it being a rolled out process as opposed to the DL's 60th where everything was, for the most part, completed in the first 3 months.)

Let me guess the entire entertainment projects?

They really need to update that. It’s a staple part of our trip.

Hours were just extended into June. No super early closures signaling Hard Ticket. MK/Epcot would be open late enough for Pyro but F! needs help in the DHS Hours Department.....

Isn’t that temporary?

I thought it was completely dead? But I'm NOT an insider so please don't quote me!

As for Show Element, we have the Castle Stage. When is that supposed to be done anyway??? In time for Summer? 50th? I agree that it would be nice to have a 2nd Stage! Like what Tomorrowland had in the 80/90's!

Perhaps it’s not playing at that time ?

Some days I'll YouTube resort Tv and the must-do's, just have them play in the back ground...

I know it's 2021 but if TDO could recreate the Resort TV from 90's-early 2000's I would be beyond happy! That was the best time period for Resort TV IMO!

You did say that F!'s backstage might be an a COVID Issue so perhaps you're right. Should be interesting to find out TDO's Night Plans!
