Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

[SoManyWasps]

All I've heard of up to now are night parade and fireworks.

I feel like you might have answered this before, but was there a particular reason Festival of Fantasy didn't work at night?

Personally I feel it looked like a floodlit day parade. Operationally it wasn't felt to be needed or viable at the moment.

What would be classified as big? Opening 4 lands at once?

probably more than 3 rides.. Pandora only has 2, and very small shows and shops.

In fairness to Disney from what I understand, when they started building Pandora they were on the understanding that Avatar was the first in a series of films that would still be relevant when the land opened. The fact that those sequels disappeared into thin air may have impacted how much money they put towards the land.

IMDB has them listed as filming.

When did we establish rules as to how many attractions makes a land? A land is a land regardless of how many attractions are included.

It is always at least one more than is actually there.

@marni1971 Do you know of any Entertainment upgrades they may do for the 50th? Like new Castle forecourt show and Move it, Shake it Updated ?

That thing needs to go away entirely already.

Main Street Land really needs an E-Ticket!

Um, because most of Disney's recent 'lands' more closely resemble strip malls than 'themed entertainment'.

Nuke it from orbit it's the only way.

I’ve heard of a potential new offering for Rockettower Plaza Stage. That’s all I can say for now.

No. No fake news allowed here where you can just say the opposite of reality and not get called out for flat out lying.

The original lands were mostly one big road with 'storefronts' on either side that led to a ride or attraction or restaurant or restroom. That is the very paradigm of a strip mall. If you were tasked to make a theme park modeled on strip malls, DL and MK is what you would get.

When you look at NFL, or Pandora, or TSL, or SWGE... they are completely unlike a strip mall: meandering paths, stand-alone buildings/attractions, lots of scenery, no 'store fronts', no 'strips'. The complete opposite of a strip mall. (We'll leave Radiator Springs out of this because of the theme of 'cars', it was made to be a strip of road.)

Why are you doing this? Why do you just make up untrue things to make a jab at Disney? Why do other people on this forum still interact with you as if you're here to say anything in good faith? Why are you here when you don't go into Disney parks anymore?

Because other than a depressingly small number of posters that consistently correct him, there are no consequences for his actions.

I miss when people used to wait to see an actual parade before Move It Shake It existed. Mainly since it was supposed to be temporary as first.

I hope Move It Shake It isn't still around by the time WDW turns 50.

No, but you do you

I will say, the reason it’s still around is because it makes a full day of hours for parade performers. Without MiSiDaPi, parade would just be a 4 hour call and performers wouldn’t be able to make a living. Once a nighttime offering comes back to MK it may not be an issue anymore...

Would you settle for a new show in a new theater?
