Hes set to be the next CEO after Iger so get ready.

Still? I thought the winds had shifted to Kevin Mayer...

If they wanted to, you think they could still pull off a new parade in two years?

If they did it would be the quality level of a 5 year old's mock up of a parade they've made with their action figures. Or just a single moving billboard that says "Bow to me inferior beings, a message from your lord and savior Bob Chapek".

For a hot minute it did but Iger and Chapek have a weird relationship. The role is back in Chapek's hands.

So, is the plan still include the gold overlays on the parade, and for the fireworks, that amazing intro from Disneyland 50th, without Julie?

Parade is getting repaired floats and POSSIBLY 2 new additions. Fireworks are going to be HIGHLY similar to Disneyland Forever but a lot more focused on projections around the park so there isnt a bad angle to watch the show from. The anniversary will have very little gold surprisingly.

I did imagine some aspects of Disneyland Forever were coming our way. Want to see that install when it happens.

Literally everybody in TDA and TDO.

This is a truth.

Still, I would rather them have no parade at all than ship MSEP back to Florida. It's where it should be, IMHO.

The best option, if they insist on bringing over an existing parade, is shipping over Paris' old parade. With a good refresh, of course.

Due to contractual obligations this is impossible and isn't even on the table.

There is very little, next to none, night floats at Paris.

It’s also worth noting Europe’s electric system is different to the US system for charging batteries. It’s not always a simple as ship, plug, play.

I've heard that too. An interesting decision, after how far out they went in Disneyland.

Today's 'Disney'...?
Doubt it.

 

[Disnerd2003]

Yet here you still are.

The conversation became intriguing. And one can post on the bus...

So what happened to every park celebrating the anniversary? Has that already changed since Chapek said it out loud at D23?

 

[Figments Friend]

I've heard that too. An interesting decision, after how far out they went ( with the gold Anniversary overlays ) in Disneyland.

All the more reason to pull back on it substantially for the WDW Anniversary.

Purple n' Blue are the 'new gold'....or so it seems.

Pass. Just know not everything Lying Bob says comes true.

 

[ToTBellHop]

True. Unfortunately.

Keep in mind, as little as a dance party could be a 50th celebration. MK is the focus. The proposal to have all of the parks unveil major additions and be pristine for the 50th went away when Epcot’s additions were delayed.

What date was that picture taken?

The proposal to have all of the parks be pristine

This was never going to happen. The day the parks are as pristine and clean as they were in the 80's and 90's are long gone.
