The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

[ToTBellHop]

What if the surprise is the return of the Station DJ… all day everyday

DJ Manbun in the hiz-ouse of miz-ouse?!

 

[celluloid]

Heard an insider paint a grim timeline about the return of FoF and Fantasmic - probably not until spring or summer for both.

Hopefully it's fluid.

The IATSE strike certainly may not help things.

 

[Chomama]

Certainly not the only surprise.

I would pay double to have the train station show back. As would my kids

Nah.

 

[Chomama]

Nah.

Nah? Oh man it is really a family favorite. One of the few things I actually mourn in recent years!! Everybody has their thing! . Thanking about that show just reminded me how much entertainment and Magic Kingdom had at all times of day. Walking down Main Street there was always something to see. I really, really hope more of it returns eventually. Also do you think meet and greets will return when it is deemed safe?

Right before Delta crashed in Orlando, they heavily hinted it was coming back...

From June:

We’re not quite ready to bring back everything yet, but we are optimistic and look forward to the day when Disney pals and princesses are able to hug once again.

Obviously the landscape changed again. But they have worked on M&G signage at Fairytale Hall, Ariel's Grotto, etc. There are zero signs that M&G are going away for good.

There are at least a few queues that used FP+ at the parks (I think I counted 5 overall), all of these will benefit from Genie+ when it rolls out.

At this point if I had to guess, I say Spring/Summer 2022.

Thanks! I will remain optimistic then!

Nah.

Sorry but what's wrong with seeing the Trolley Dancers while the Train with Mickey arrives?????? We got the MK Anthem And Zip. The song wouldn't fly now but still.

 

[Squishy]

Let the Magic Begin returns 10/1, according to a CM I know.

More like "Let the Marketing Begin!"

They sang Zip a dee doo dah, which is now forbidden.

Nah as in “naht gonna happen.”

Oh well yeah..I wasn’t expecting that

And everytime we think about it, and we look now.. we have to be reminded how much we have lost already.

It would be very impressive for them to keep rehearsals secret.

Well, guess we know the surprise isn’t parade related then. I agree keeping rehearsals a secret seems impossible. Ugh and here Steve quoted this about a light parade:

I'm kinda surprised what is coming has been kept a secret.

How cruel of him to let us think theres even hope for that JK.

 

[castlecake2.0]

New attraction? New resort? New monorail? What could this surprise be?!

 

[vikescaper]

Has anybody guessed that the surprise could be benches?

 

[999th Happy Haunt]

I have a feeling that if the surprise is anything short of Dreamfinder and Figment themselves walking out on stage and saying that a new Journey into Imagination is on it's way, lots of people are gonna be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy disappointed by whatever this surprise is.

 

[Touchdown]

HBG, Big Thunder TNT, Projections for Peter Pan, onboard audio for Space Mtn

I’ve heard they’ve been building IJA in Adventureland in secret and will open it on October 1

Bringing back the flying dragon from 2012??!!?!
