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

[marni1971]

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 believe so and not that I know of.

I think HEA presents a fine story throughout with clear thematic motifs (Wishes, Call to adventure, Friends, Love, Conflict, Finale) Wishes may have had a more easy to understand story (it’s in the title) but that doesn’t mean it’s better.

Thank you for saying this because I’m tired of having to debate people who think HEA doesn’t have a storyline lol. I also take issue with it being called a clip show when a vast majority of the projections are original/created exclusively to fit to Cinderella Castle.

It definitely seeks to be more exciting and in-your-face, which is kind of where society is right now. I expect HarmoniUs to feel like scrolling through TikTok as well.

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.

Y’all also forget that the moat at MK is not near street level. It’s 15 feet down. If there were fountains, you wouldn’t be able to see half of them. They’re not going to happen here.

Still a clip show though.

They were proposed for the Wishes successor in 2011. I had a chat about them on the 40th whilst discussing the hub expansion.

This. This this this.

What? What's wrong???? It looks fine to me! I'm surprised they started with the back/Fantasyland side first.

The slogan, not the look. It’s marketing garbage.

If you gasp enough watching something, it was good, right? Worked for the Roman Colosseum. Works for Universal. I’m less inclined to see it used at Epcot but they didn’t ask me.

At the very least, it won’t age well. What is hip and exciting in 2022 won’t be in 2027. The inspiring nature of RoE is why it could survive 20 years.

Besides, isn't DLP's moat pretty sunken low too? They don't have issues with fountains and seeing them.

What’s not to like about a show that pulls your attention in 42 directions at once?

It's fine because you stare at the floating TV screen and listen to some music you've heard thousands of times before...BUT in a different language.

Groundbreaking.

The Parisian castle is 167 ft tall. The fountain installation can go higher. Their moat however isn’t as far down as Orlando. Though it is sunk a little.

I could see them cutting down the music clips to mere seconds...
You aint never had a friend like - Up there I'll be... part of youurrrrr wor - kill the beast!

The existing pink paint is iridescent. It's why the pink appears super light or super dark depending on the angle and light.

Did you mean pearlescent instead? That is the better definition of what you call out.

I would say the castle is pubescent. Can’t decide how it wants to look so it’s going with ALL THE LOOKS!!!11

Having seen the paint job up-close, I'd say that is the most accurate definition I've heard so far. Don't know the exact type of paint, but one thing is for sure: the pink/salmon paint color, is not flat.

The castle is 50, it’s not a teenager it’s going through a midlife crisis.

Is TDL's Moat depth the same as MK?
