...and a single rider queue...
And a new IP.

WDW as a whole needs to add more Single Rider queues, in DLR there's a good amount for some of the major E-ticket attractions.

Didn't we all assume Everest would go down so the Yeti could be fixed when Avatar opened?

Im curious how the Christmas time in 2021 will be handled with the 50th going on? While we don’t know for sure what will actually happen For the 50th, it was more a less confirmed there will be some decorations and banners around the parks. Will they be mixed in with the holiday decorations? Maybe special/brand new 50th holiday decorations and entertainment?

Very true. But don’t insiders say that there are more structural, safety issues that need to be handled than just show ones?
Yes, with the Yeti itself. It needs replacement, which is relatively easy (as far as "relatively easy" can be used for such a thing). It's not a problem with the structure the Yeti is attached to (which is apart from the ride's structure).
The issue is, according to our insiders, finding the will power to pay for a new Yeti and determining whose budget that will come out of. A new Yeti has to be built that will not have the same problems as the old (over torquing joints) and to meet more stingent one-ton-AA-swinging-over-the-guests-safety-protocols. Also, of not bothering to put it into a less-moving C-mode.

I would assume they would do a mix. They cant stop MVMCP for a year. It would be a little less obvious that it's the 50th during that time.
They mixed 60th decorations with seasonal decorations at DLR. I would expect the same at WDW. No chance are they cutting back on MVMCP at all.

Will they really have MNSSHP on the big day??

No way. We'll probably get Mickey's Very Celebratory Anniversary Party. $150 and instead of trick or treating you get a cupcake. Instead of ride overlays, they close all rides that weren't open in '71 for the night.

You kid ... but DHS had After Hours on their anniversary this year, LOL! I don't believe anything special was apart of it.
I still take issue we can get things like Jingle Cruise yet they can't bother with Small World or Country Bears (which they USED to do ... Tokyo still does ... the Bears, I'm referring to; WDW never had Small World Holiday, Tokyo got the overlay designed for us, same for Haunted Mansion Holiday, which I don't mind isn't done at WDW) ... but I imagine those are bigger money savers. You just have to change the name on the boats, give the skippers a leopard Santa hat and throw tacky decor all over (not knocking or dismissing the Jingle Cruise, by the way). Bears and Small World require more. But this isn't the parties thread ... lol, so I digress slightly.

That's nuts.
For all the upsells they do, I'm actually surprised they haven't tried my idea. If they tried, they could probably actually make it a successful idea.

Looks like your cupcake idea leaked. Did someone hack disnerd's VPN?

I’d have thought 2020 was going to be a year with a large amount of lengthy refurbs for MK, with capacity offset by increases in the other parks. This really doesn’t look like it’s happening at all.
