Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

[Touchdown]

The anniversary is October 1, 2021. I suspect that much like Mickey’s 90th and the 25th they are going to run it Oct 2021-Dec 2022. Next spring will see lots of rehabs, and hopefully a repainting of the castle.

An Insider has said they'll probably start in the Spring of '21 and go to the end of '22.

You know the song the 12 days of Christmas? That’s totally a thing, the Christmas season lasts until the Epiphany/Three Kings Day (Jan 6.). Christmas music may be played until that day.

My favorite radio station B101.1 (heard between Phildelphia and New Jersey) stopped playing Christmas music around the 27th of this month. Last year they stopped playing it around 2am in the morning of December 26th.

Hmmm. We (sadly) had to postpone our May 2020 trip to end of April/beginning of May 2021. I wonder if we will see anything.

I sure hope there aren't a ton of closures while we are there...

NEXT YEAR!

Sixteen months to complete all the stuff that's supposed to premier with the anniversary celebration season!

No way. We'll probably get Mickey's Very Celebratory Anniversary Party. $150 and instead of trick or treating you get a cupcake. Instead of ride overlays, they close all rides that weren't open in '71 for the night.

This, but with an admission price closer to $500.

Throw in a cupcake and a LE pin set and $500 doesn't sound too bad.


.. Oh God, I've finally gotten used to disney prices.

When should we be expecting the castle to get scaffolding for the new pastel/rainbow colors paint job that was shown at D23? Around January 2021? Assuming that’s what they are indeed going with.

I don’t believe there was any art shown for the Castles anniversary look. Just the anniversary logo.

This one I was referring to. It gives the idea they could be planning on giving the castle a paint job, of some sort.

Looks like a lighting package to me......

 

[MisterPenguin]

If you go by the art in the banners, the castle will be painted solid white. That'd be great for the projections!!!

lol well I’m sure the castle in the banners will look more like this.

Its been said that it will go under extensive refurb. DL castle got theirs complete a week or 2 before the start of the 60th. I would expect the same at WDW.
