There are tons of railings, hitching posts, and other fixtures that are green that they still need to match. It'd be a bit much visually if all of those things were completely gold.

I think it would look worse if it was all gold

Specifically the Iger/Chapek era of Disney prior to the Marvel and Star Wars acquisition. At least the Eisner era gave love to Disney's past and present animated films (such as 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, and The Aristocats). Heck, even Disney's Japanese branch cares about Disney's past animated films and characters (even representing some of Disney's more obscure characters) such as making merchandise of Danny the Black Sheep from "So Dear To My Heart".

More plantings going in around the 50th medallion outside the train station to obscure the support structure. The Mickey floral has also been replanted, perhaps to distract less from the sign itself. Pretty happy about it myself as I didn't particularly like the latest incarnation of the floral.

I'm not so sure. It would be striking, but maybe that would be ok in this context as a way of drawing attention to the celebration.
The gold in the two versions with green and gold pictured above just look kind of a little random to the point where it might not be noticeable that they were painted for the celebration. Who knows, though, maybe there is further painting to be done and it will all come together.

I posted that without finishing, whoops lol. It looks weird with random gold spots and random green spots. It should be all or nothing. They don't have to necessarily turn every green item gold but the lamp posts seem like they should be all gold.

I mean, do you really want the answer to that?

it looks better that way for me imho. Contrast instead of saturating the "old gold" look.

The flowers helped to balance.

I really wanna see the merchandise for this damn celebration. i guess the only thing that has my interest I the Vault Collection which they showed includes the Mickey backscratcher and a mug with the castle on it. What else did they sell from before that they’ll sell again now? I have forgotten

There are some great WDW merchandise items from the days of yore that could be replicated for inclusion in the 'vintage collection'.
Some terrific graphic artwork from WDWs early days are likely canidates for t-shirts and other products.
Think of the late 1970s paper shopping bag images ( pink/orange/yellow collage ) or ever a slice of early 1980s WDW imagery.
It would sell like hotcakes.

I was hoping they would finally replace the current shopping bags with a new version of this for the 50th, but I dont think those who make such decisions even know any better anymore, nor would they probably spend to change them out property wide like they use to every so often. for some reason (cost of course) disneyland and disneyworld have to use the same bags now,,which really irks me. maybe we will be surprised yet still who knows.

The 50th Anniversary is going to be happening for the next 18 months....
So there is a lot yet to be seen on the horizon.

“Sometime during the 50th”?
In all seriousness, it likely will be ready by the end of September.

This sounds crazy but the company my friend works for makes shopping bags and they have… supply chain issues and cannot get bags to many customers. It sounds odd but this might really be something similar. Bags aren’t a high expense. Also, anything overseas that major port in China where something like 1/3 of overseas stuff comes from was closed because of a COVID case and might still be. That’s causing a massive shipping problem. And that I can speak to directly with my job.
Disney is probably having the same issues getting bags, souvenirs, even certain foods. I would guess that’s why some menus are limited.
