Two?
Yesterday was Pinocchio and today was one reveal of Nemo and Dory. Did I miss one from today?

So Nemo and Dory weren't on the "leaked" list that I saw. I hope that means several things on their list were wrong.
I assume when the poster said "two reveals" that mean two videos, not two characters. Since eight times they have had a statue with two characters, I took the post to mean more than one statue was reveals today.

Don't get your hopes up...
I have real doubts there will be any 'big announcements' of any kind there, unless it relates to 'new exclusive 50th merchandise attendees can buy'.
These 'Destination D' events get hyped up in the fan community everytime one is announced.
Folks assume something exciting is going to be announced related to Park Attractions, and rarely does that happen at these 'smaller' events.
Instead, it is usually just a few nice panels and merchandise purchasing opportunities for those attending.
That's it.
My memory may be lacking due to age, but there has not been any 'major' announcements made at any of the recent 'Dest D' events.
Disney prefers to save those for the 'real Event', the D23 Expo when they can.
The D23 Expo out in happy Anaheim, CA is where things tend to get announced.

It is almost certain to have a big update on the future of Epcot’s construction. As well as any and all smaller refreshes of MK rides that were otherwise postponed because of the pandemic.
I would confidently put money on a new glimpse at an updated World Discovery, what is happening with the Festival space, and the future of Spaceship Earth.
Maybe Disney scrambled to make different statues when someone Unscrupulous bragged about their list.

Maybe someone leaked half the list and the others were to eff with us.

Apple has been known to release fake info to different groups to help determine where leaks come from. This could make sense

This has been done for decades, it’s just not as common as other parks because of the cost. This is nothing new.

There are several 50 year CM, that video just showcased oneHow about something special for Guests who are 50?
I have been saying for at least two years now that as part of WDW's 50th Anniversary , they need to offer free admission to Guests who are 50 in 2021.
( Raises hand )
On another note :
Do we have ANY Cast Members still employed at WDW who have been working there since Opening Day in 1971?
I recall there still being a couple around....
They should be given red carpet treatment on October 1st.

Looks like another of the 50th banners popped up at EPCOT, and it has a blue iridescent background instead of pink. So, either it differs by park or there will be clusters of different iridescent hues.

Maybe they realized the MK ones looked bad and did something new.

Perhaps. The tagline is still in the same place, but as much as I'm not a fan of the text overlapping the pocket, there's no way that part wasn't intentional. "MAGICAL" is centered perfectly between the seams, and the designer had to be working from a template that showed where they would fall.

We just need a parade announcement, one of the major things missing for the 50th.

Eh. It matches the castle paint job? You do realize that's not exactly a compliment.

I'd be happy with them just bringing back FOF let alone a new or bigger/night parade But it looks like its only going to be the 50th cavalcade.

Here's one of the banners at Epcot.
Yeah, that doesn't really look much better.
The blue is a slight improvement, but that's about it.
