Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

[TTA94]

I asked Disney and they were less than helpful. Does anyone know what month the 50th anniversary will start? Will it be all year in 2021 or will it start in October and run into 2022? TIA.

I think someone had said May 2021. Seems like the most logical time frame.

Yes.

Though, our flash-in-the-pan insider said Jan 1 of 2021.

I reached out to his legal team for comment but haven’t heard back. I have top men using the google to crack something called a VPN.

Hello.

You have reached the President of the Animal Kingdom.

I am unable to respond at this time as I am watching penguin documentaries on Disney+.

Please leave a message and someone will send you a form letter at our earliest convenience.

If I was a betting man (and based off of DL Anniversary dates) Labor day 2021 - Mid-End of August 2022.

This is my speculation. Based on other anniversaries across WDW it will start the month and day the park opened. Like the 45th and ones before, it will start Oct 1, 2021 and likely run through Oct 1, 2022. Other WDW parks followed same pattern with their given opening dates. In the end though, they may start earlier, who knows.

As long as there is something lit and colorful going down the streets of MK at night I’ll be happy lol.

A better homage would be to add it back into the Magic Kingdom...Using the Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin technology and system... It would be another E ticket fantasyland originals if done right.

Yes! there's so much they could do with an updated version of that ride that would be very thrilling.

Funny how Cedar Point is getting a nighttime parade for 2020 but there is no new nighttime parade in Chapek Kingdom to be seen...

To be fair, one is a 150th anniversary, the other is just a 50th. So fear not, in 100 years, you will get your new parade.

Half of the users on this board would be dead by then.

Not the better half...

 

[TTA94]

Is there even still hope anymore for a 50th parade? Still a waiting game? I would think plans would be in place by now if not very soon?
