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

[Trauma]

That's beautiful.

It’s better than the firework show you get before you leave.

What’s your predictions for how long the 50th pandemonium will last @Sirwalterraleigh? You seem to be hinting not long.

I have no info…other than reading the National and business trends. Which indicates that the fall and at least some of the early winter is wrecked. It’s low travel/hotel occupancy/etc for the next few months…

now the “trend” tends to indicate that delta has passed and the covid levels will decline in the coming months - as it stands now. So knowing the American consumer…after the Turkey is cut and the presents are opened…they’re gonna get the itch again after 1/1

…just a hunch

There are no dates currently sold out for the after hours Christmas event at MK.

…they will. Drink the sand

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

I'm fine with the parks being open right now. I'm sick of Disney and some fans that keep using Covid as an excuse

I would normally say, “without a doubt”. But I’m starting to think some of these won’t sell out. Just a gut feeling. There have been so many missteps revealed this week, they may have finally wounded themselves with so many bullets in their foot.

A cool thing my brother owns.

Would had been nice if they brought back Flower from Bambi for this.

They won't *all* sell out, thats not a thing that happens. Some of them will.

One thing I tend to agree with Dissteve about is that they are invincible as it currently stands because the customers aren’t nearly as intelligent as you are giving them credit for

And they are…both internally and externally.

the reason they aren’t doing more shows/live performances is because they want to save the cost. Period. Game over

Tom Sawyer Island. For the first time since forever. Well, it’s an original 50th anniversary attraction.

I agree. My general belief about the vast majority of the population these days is - People are stupid. I’m not being proven wrong very often. For example: long lines for overpriced merchandise that will be available for 18 months when many ride lines are nearby walk-ons.

I was able to get on the Big Top virtual queue at 10:30am. It said there were 1096 groups ahead of me.

 

[Touchdown]

1174 people still in front of me at big top

 

[HauntedPirate]

Now THAT was awesome. I may go try to find a longer video of his performance eventually.

Looks like the same stuff. (Taken from watch store in front of velvet rope). You’re better off going to DS. There was a line last night but relatively short.View attachment 590385View attachment 590386

Is that footage of the opening day ceremony they're playing inside?

Here is the poster CMs are giving out as you exit.

Some people want the merch now, while they are in the parks. Not 6 or 12 or 18 months from now. If they are not pushing, shoving, or getting into fights, why does that make one stupid?

Mostly because of my post...directly above yours.

Not sure. Could be. It did look like “classic” legacy footage, though.
