News Disney100 Celebration coming to EPCOT in late 2023

[TTA94]

I bet the reason they are not having Magic Kingdom be the main park for the Celebration is because they do not want to debut any new entertainment there. It’s easier for them to label Epcot’s new nighttime as part of the celebration, even though they were going to debut it regardless.

Of course. This wasn’t the original plan.

What was the original plan?

 

[ToTBellHop]

What was the original plan?

There wasn’t much of a plan for WDW to participate at all. There would have been no new fireworks.

Spray paint the gold statues silver. New crappy banners. Rename the 50th cavalcade the 100th cavalcade

 

[ChrisFL]

Some details...

Meeting Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in their platinum attire to snapping a selfie with a platinum sculpture of the one who started it all and watching Spaceship Earth illuminate the evenings with a special lighting design.

I read this as if it was a joke then realized it was real

Rename the 50th cavalcade the 100th cavalcade

This one surprises me the most. Unless they’ll move it to Epcot.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Haven’t seen much mention here but they will have a different theme every month starting in April. Here are the themes through October. You can tell 3 interns put their hearts into this and that it will inform cupcake designs each month. Sad that there isn‘t enough Marvel content to support a bulleted list.

You get the impression that they planned nothing and Bob said, “the company is turning 100. What are we doing at WDW?” And they said, “well, we have new stuff opening in late fall at Epcot, so it can host! Yay!” And then Bob said, “we are 100 now. Not in late fall. What can we do NOW?” And they said, “but the 50th!” And he said, “what can we do April 1?” and then these theme months were borne given the budget of $425.

One intern said, “will it be confusing to replace 50th banners with 100th banners overnight?”

I understand the intern didn’t stay unemployed for long because Chick Fil-A is expanding and now he doesn’t have to make anyone’s coffee on Sundays!

They aren’t walls. They are Adventure Boundaries©

 

[CntrlFlPete]

[MisterPenguin]

We are still have walls all over the place in EPCOT right?

The only ones that hold you back are the ones you put up.

You are the Wall!!

 

[WDWBryan]

Just noticed the page with the tiles on the Disney World App has been given a Disney 100 look

So… underwhelmed… by the “monthly specials” in the parks.

 

[ToTBellHop]

So… underwhelmed… by the “monthly specials” in the parks.

Slow down and taste the cupcakes before you whine, bucko.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Slow down and taste the cupcakes before you whine, bucko.

Are they the monthly special at each park?!? I’m in. I’ll be buying an annual pa… oh wait…

Will they have different flavors than basic vanilla, or will that be an up charge? And can my wine be brown, and taste like a good bourbon? You did say “wine”, right? Oops. My bad.
