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

I found Remember to be extremely disjointed. Using Wishes bread with a peanut butter of Disneyland attraction audio clips wasn’t particularly inspiring. It was lazy because Eisner demanded it. The Hub fireworks were cool, however. “Is this haunted room actually stretching?!”
Personally, I prefer DL Forever but I’m in the minority. The Jungle Book/Lion King beat is amazing. I also love how they use a flair of fireworks and projections to turn the castle into a rising sun to start Circle of Life.

Forever had become too generic with its content - the footage was used in Anaheim, Shanghai, Paris etc etc
And yet the world still loves the Hallowishes score as well (DL and DLP still use it I believe) just because it’s copied doesn’t mean it’s bad. Most of us don’t get to go to every Disney Resort. The Jack balloon and projections they added to Halloween Screams just barely edged out DL Forever as my favorite DL firework show. Remember is a close third and then there is a huge gap with 4th (Believe in Holiday Magic) and another huge gap to 5th/last place (Mickey’s Mix Magic.)

Honestly, the hideous pink makes a good base coat. Could there be iridescent paint going on over top of it? That'd probably make it look nice. Better then whoever drunkingly thought the pink would look good.

Go full pink (castle cake) or go some other direction. This pink looks bad.
The existing pink paint is iridescent. It's why the pink appears super light or super dark depending on the angle and light.

If it's truly iridescent, then it would appear to have slightly different *hues* rather than intensities (darker or lighter). Also, standing in one spot, you would see the different hues and intensities at the same time because the walls and towers would present different angles at the same time showing different hues and intensities at the same time.

From all the photos I've seen, it's just a flat salmon-pink and the differences in how it looks is just from the differences in ambient light: direct light v. being in shadow; bright bluish daytime light v. warm dawn/dusk light v. grey overcast light.

So the celebration was originally to start this May through Christmas 2022. Apparently when they delayed 4 months, they didn’t move the Castle refurb back, so it’ll look like the 50th well in advance of 10/1. Just no cupcakes.

I guess we have our answer on, “are they going to paint again?”

Still very soon and additional time for all that to fade, especially going into the hottest time of the year 🤦‍♂️. It also won’t be much of a surprise by October, well, to us regulars. Or are we getting a “soft opening” of the 50th this summer?

Should we expect any 50th Decor on the Stage when it returns?
“Beacon of Magic”... 🤢
What? What's wrong???? It looks fine to me! I'm surprised they started with the back/Fantasyland side first.

At least Forever opened before SDL did, or DL would have had another clone of Ignite The Dream!

HEA would have looked awesome with fountains. Never gonna happen I’m sure. Have to go to Epcot now to see fountains in HEA 2.0 lol.

It would have been too much. That show already suffers from overkill.

Was it mostly firework enhancements in the original plan for HEA for the 50th?
Also was it ever considered to put projections down Main Street? I think even doing the MNSSHP lighting on Main Street year round, or for the 50th, would be cool.

I selfishly hope, if they do have MNSSHP this year, they determine Hallowishes is the correct choice since it’s less Hub-centric. I know they won’t, but I can dream.
Since WDW has not said anything about 50th Entertainment, or Pre COVID Entertainment returning except for FOTLK.... Do you think WDW might go back to FITS or Wishes to start with, then return to 2017 HEA or go right into HEA 50th? Same with MVMCP/Holiday Wishes?

What's the difference between Dreams(which on here says that was the plan around the time MSEP came from DCA.)and HEA with fountains?
