So does MK have all the tweaks on file when we lose the 50th Decor? Also the 2019 Projections?
I would assume so. It'll be like putting the decorations up, just in reverse.

I have no inside knowledge here, but I think they did genuinely think long and hard about creating HEA 2.0 but quickly remembered what their goals were.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see the approach they take here.

If this is true, why bring back an outside company to do tweaks to HEA but not bring them back for Enchantment?
Typical WDI Politics. Enchantment was the FL based entertainment team wanting to prove that they could create a show that was just as good as the CA team. Hence doing it all in house.

Irony is both the FL Show (Enchantment) and the CA Show (Harmonious) were both equally terrible.

At one point the plan was HEA with a 50th tag (like Paris' 30th) and Paint the Night. That would have been so much better.

This gets me Mad!!!!! That would have been Perfect!!! Did COVID kill that? Or did someone think that MK doesn't deserve that??? Hopefully they're gone if they turned down PTN......

If MK did go for HEA 50th/PTN, what was planned for WSL? ROE not canceled? A longer run of EF till Epcot found something?

I believe Harmonious was supposed to debut in 2020 but just got delayed to the 50th because of Covid.

Grain of salt here, but it seems like MK management just didn't want the hassle of running evening PAC. Ops is the tail that wags the dog at WDW for *everything*.

I mean now that HEA is coming back couldn’t they go back to those plans for the company's 100th? Assuming WDW is planning on participating.

They could. I think HEA will be tied into the 100th in the sense it's coming back at all.

DLR haven't announced their summer plans yet but it's as likely as not that PTN will come back to DCA.

Hasn’t been any rumors of PTN returning this summer, but it does seem likely that it could happen. There’s MSEP to considering the recent updated finale unit, but I doubt they’d put that back in DCA again.
