Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

[Matt_Black]

Mainly pre-parades

Wasn't Hercules the last movie to get a full parade? I don't think Mulan or Tarzan got one, but I could be mistaken.

I think your right. Frozen did get that "parade" at DHS, but it was only like 5 or 6 floats, and I think all of them but like one or two were reused from a bunch of parades.

Actually Mulan got a parade. The Mulan Parade premiered in 1998 at Disneyland and at MGM Studios. At Disneyland it was also known to run at night. Here's a video of said parade at MGM -

After that, the only movie to get its own parade was Frozen.

I remember the pre-parade for Oliver & Company were also one of the only times you got to see Oliver,Dodger and the rest of the cast at the parks. Dodger did show up for one of the castle shows in the early 90s but was Oliver ever meet able at the time?

I hope they can come up with a good theme song for the parks 50th Anniversary. The 25th Anniversary theme is already catchy.

And also the last time WDW had it's own daytime parade honoring it's anniversary and boy look at how much energy the performers and characters were with this parade.

Woooww right in the feels

I'm sure whatever we have will be indeed magical... But will we get glasses to celebrate that we can buy at McDonalds?
I still have mine!

I still have the Millennium Celebration glass cups that featured Sorcerer Mickey and one for the 100 Years Of Magic.

 

[SosoDude]

Yeah, my wife got 2 complete sets of the 25th anniversary McDonalds glasses about 6 or 7 years ago as a gift from her mom. We drink from those on a daily basis.

I know, thread derailment over Disney glasses....... Sorry

So besides the rock repaint and some new rides, what would we like to see be done at WDW to celebrate 50 years? Wish list items.

Dear god, I remember this theme on the VHS previews when I was a kid.

I believe I read Space will finally be getting the major overhaul it needs for the 50th as well.

 

[brb1006]

I really hope Disney might create a special theme song for the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World if they ever announce it. The theme to the 100 Years Of Magic Celebration (Walt Disney's 100th Birthday) and "Remember The Magic" for the 25th Anniversary were the best ones.

 

[Kyle Higgins]

Most likely why they are having these conversations now.

True. If they wanted to do something like that by 2021 (50th celebration), they would have to start by 2017, 2018 at the latest.

Nothing is confirmed yet.

Probably an expansion in Frontierland or Adventureland

Oh lord, I can't see them continuing to run Space in its current state for the next 5 years, so I don't know how its gonna make it past then if it doesn't happen for the 50th,
