Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

Man we have some rude posters on this forum! I'm seeing such nastiness.

I think we're fairly tame by most forum standards. I post on a few where you will be atomized if your posts are not on point.

Oh, we do. But there's no denying posters get attacked on a regular basis. Rude, sarcastic responses ... it's a lot more frequent than I remember it being. Just an observation. I guess I better get back on topic though.

"Plus, patriotism is just more present in America than in many other countries."

I'm not so sure I agree with that. I've been to many countries in Asia and Europe. The people in the places I've visited are in fact very patriotic. At least in my interactions with them over the years.

Some view it as Patriotism, I view it as Historical. This Country was founded on Independence and Patriotism and any display of that in the parks is a reflection of the USA'S history such as Frontierland representing history of Western Expansion.

Nobody is making you visit.

My.. arent we "special"?

 

[TeriofTerror]

There is a huge difference in patriotism (as in asking a person if they love their country). and then having flags, canons, memoralia, weapons, stickers, figurines, shows and ads constantly displaying how big and mighty your country it

What cracks me up is when people waving Confederate flags tell me I should "get over" losing to the angry oompa loompa.

Spoiler: might offend some

Or the same group telling black men to "drop the issue about slavery" while demanding you to "feel sad" for 9/11 and pearl harbor.
I mean, all these are outrageous events that should never be forgotten. (because those who forget history, tend to make the same mistakes again)

This isn't right or wrong. At this point, unless guest surveys really show a negative impact, we won't get a new night parade (night FoF is on the table, but not being pursued) until the 50th. One proposal was for it to be PtN but the overwhelming majority is looking towards a new, custom parade.

Maybe with a little magic and some pixie dust, and wishing really hard, we will get our own new shiny parade.

Should we need pixie dust and have to wish really hard for The Walt Disney Company's largest and highest grossing theme park in the world to get a new parade? That stuff should be automatically happening...

It's a sad commentary.

HKDL 7000 + new hotel
SDL 10000
TDL 21000
Dl 23000
WDW 71000

(And probably not totally accurate)

It should automatically be happening, but the Company seems to want to invest 1.4 billion dollars for Hong Kong, which isn't even financially successful in the first place.

No, the company don't want to invest in Hong Kong... They HAVE to invest to keep the HK government happy.

I sit here reading this thread drinking water out of my 25th Anniversary WDW glass that I got at McDonalds that year.

Remember the Magic? I do. I may have visited as a kid once and then again as an adult. They BETTER remember the magic for the 50th. I'm planning on visiting again and spending a lot of money.

Speaking of Remember The Magic, the 25th had one of the most beautiful anniversary songs out there.
