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

“What park is this again?”

 

[GhostHost1000]

It’s what MK deserved a proper 50th like Disneyland’s.

But even before covid, I don’t know if it was ever in the cards.

Covid is not an excuse for this disaster

He’s looking for Harry Potter and Shamu probably

It would have been more than this I have to believe!


OK I get it. These Boards are NOT haviing a Good Day I'm Out!!!

I’m sorry. I’m normally more positive. I’m just flooded with memories of Disneyland’s 50th and how special it was.

I don’t want to cloud today.

Yep. Hope GR is ready for my email. It’ll be a doozy. This would have been great if they wanted to update fantasmic, but this has totally ruined daytime views and nighttime entertainment

Blame Iger for this…

everything is a Disney singalong (like a vhs tape from 1990)…clips of ip over and over again.

hea…paint the night…world of color…fantastic…and on and on

He's standing under a Happily Ever After sign...

If we're sitting here 6 months from now and Festival of Fantasy still isn't back, I'll agree with you. I'm getting impatient too, but I'm still hanging on to the benefit of the doubt that there are legitimate reasons for the continued COVID reopening delays.

There is no legitimate reasons. Especially when other parks in the area are doing parades and events like normal. What today shows is that as much as people complain about the cuts they will still shows up.

To whoever posted that big pic of Chapek -

That popped up on my screen and made me jump.
Please, I'm eating!
Warn me next time!

Warning.

"Isn't it supposed to called Enchantment After Ever or something?"

 

[vikescaper]

Any word on what the merchandise situation is like at other locations outside of the Magic Kingdom?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

It does seem odd that Orlando parks have been open over a year now, no parade… Disneyland has been open what - 5 months - and already has one back.

That tells me it's staffing. It's a lot easier to find out-of-work actors and dancers in Southern California than in Central Florida.

 

[GhostHost1000]

Apparently Disney will be celebrating no longer having their most loyal fans hang around to see the nighttime shows anymore after the one and done viewing

"The Anything But Walt Nighttime Spectacular. Presented by whomever will give me the most money." -Chapek, probably

Both coasts have been doing calvercades.
Parades are expected to resume next month.

I don't pay much attention to Disneyland news. @Disney Analyst seemed to imply that their parade was already back. Is it not?

Don't you want to the parks to be closed right now due to COVID?

There are many MANY displaced/furloughed and laid off Disney entertainment cast members both full time and part time waiting to be called back. The longer this drags out though the fewer there will be.

Those at least had an overarching theme song to hold it together, this had nothing. Also why were they singing songs from Moana in Cantonese? It’s just mind boggling how bad they messed it up. No one in my party liked it, and they all have very different tastes. Two in my group stopped at Guest relations on the way out to tell them how disappointed they were. At least they got the entry plaza right!
