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

That is so sad to hear. But you’re not the only one to say it.

Where you really expecting much more? Disney got what they wanted. $$$$$

I love the internet.

Half the people are complaining that Disney barely did anything for the 50th.
Half the people are complaining that Disney even celebrated at all because there is a pandemic.

Never change humanity, never change!

LOL. Ticket has long been paid for. If it means anything, this is not a park commando day for me. I have a Boma breakfast and MAY hop into Epcot or could just take a nap. It’s my last hurrah before driving home Wed.

So this isn’t the part where I point out you paid a 25% surcharge to avoid the crowds during the day when the crowds aren’t there during the day?

Handed out single day exclusives (posters, maps) and gave everyone free PhotoPass.

Debuted a new fireworks spectacular, calvacade, etc. (look I can’t wait until parades return too).

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Huh. I've never imagined anyone coming here (Atlanta) as a tourist -- what are you even planning to do?

Those whale sharks are pretty cool

I would argue they didn’t. Reaction wasn’t good on SM and they don’t appear to be raking the gaudy revenues right now I’m sure they have promised their masters

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Wait? Iger still talked?!?

…quite a power struggle going on there.

Yes, but here they're on different threads (for the most part).

I think we should expect a lot more creativity out of WDW - can enhance the 50th offerings while keeping the pandemic in mind. Not mutually exclusive.

Quit being a child. I am a conservative but you can't take that baggage with you everywhere. People with views different from your own do exist.

Yep…that comment to me is by default “ugly” unless it’s explained

I agree with what you are saying. As far as yesterday goes, having people buy merchandise over riding rides is everything they wanted. They wish it could be like that everyday

That used to be the goal every day…

…they just weren’t so obvious about it and you didn’t feel baboozled the entire minute/day/week

I hope we never lose Bob Chapek. I can’t wait for his next pick for ceo. Hopefully it’s Cob Bhapeck

He'll get the "fans of Dreamfinder" votes to carry him to victory.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Yep. Middle projection broken. Lol. Yikes.

Wait…doesn’t this thing completely suck anyway?

Maybe today. But judging by availability over the next few months crowds are going to be low.

They are…if you look at the “real world” factors…outside of 32830

 

[mightynine]

Chappie looks better with a beard.

It’s like Louis CK meets Jesse Tyler Ferguson…phenomenal look.

Great Dinner…..off to the MK for Terrible Show…back to the GF to forget about it.

Only way it ever changes is if your money walks.

Bob would definitely benefit from a face wig. Cob Bhapek looks much more personable and caring. Amazing what a little facial hair can do to one's public image/persona.

No, not during my trip. Happy to argue with you afterward. Have a magical day!

ETA: They probably missed a trick making a shirt out of that license plate design. Put it on a heather green t-shirt and I'd be giving you some of my green, Mr. TWDC sir!
