Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

[TrainsOfDisney]

I'm a bit surprised they can't articulate Mack in some way to adjust for this. I mean, maybe they can and just won't, because of $$$.

The company that rerouted a railroad and a “river” and shrunk an island can’t rebuild a sidewalk.

They could but I don’t think it’s worth the work, in all honesty. The solution to this problem is to build a parade FOR the Magic Kingdom, instead of Disneyland’s hand-me-downs.

Having seen the parade, and liking it, I don’t think it’s worth the work for that 1 float. They could easily replace Mack with a new float, or just drop that section of the parade.

But this is Disney, I don’t think rerouting the River was worth it for the Star Wars land.

We’re not going to see nighttime entertainment for a very very long time.

its sounding like maybe no light parade after all or anything else, if that post means into and beyond 2021.

I think it greatly depends on what happens the first part of 2021 and a vaccine.

The Liberty Square bridge was already rebuilt once for a parade - America On Parade in 1975 (It used to be arched)

Oh interesting. The arch was for the swan boats im guessing?

Apparently not. The arch was replaced for AOP, but the swan boats were still sailing in 1975/76

Good to see some work on the auto-plaza, from recent pics it has looked a bit of a mess.

Now if they can give the property entrance archways some TLC that would be nice. Any idea if that’s in the plans?

Is this paint scheme just for the 50th or is this a touch up because of the 50th?

I like it

And again for Spectro.

Just to add it here from the other thread in case anyone missed it. @marni1971 said: Not in agreement yet with @MansionButler84 over PTN making the East trip.

Guess it’s just a pending deal waiting on the flippin vaccine lol.

Wow! That looks really good. I wish they would have gone with that scheme for the castle. I agree it would be great if the TTC could get this treatment as well.

And again for Spectro.

So LS's Bridge was redone 4 times? 1975, 1991, 2008, 2012?

I’m sure a lot will change between now and then. Hopefully for the better, and increased capacity. Wishful thinking.

IDK, Can WDW return to Major Entertainment under the current Reservation system when it's deemed safe? Or will we have togo back to the "just buy tickets and walk right in" system before FOF/HEA/F!/Harm.? comes back? If we could have a good 50th with this new reservation system I'd be a lot less worried!
