Can I ask - where do you find the times for Beacons of Magic at each park? I can't find it on MDE or on Touring Plans app.

thanks!

What is the deal with Disney Starbucks merchandise! It’s not enough to have something from one corporation on your tumbler, you need two? For me, I never cared for Starbucks so no driving need for me to purchase a $5 cup of coffee from a Starbucks inside or outside of Disney, much less 50th anniversary merch.

Some of the past Disney related designs are quite nice.
I'm thinking of the original set of 'You Are Here' coffee mugs for both Disneyland and WDW.
Cool and fun graphics.
The later series doesn't look as eye catching ...but your milage may vary.

The 'Starbucks' branded WDW designs done for the 50th are also appealing as the graphics were done in the style of WDW's paper shopping bags from the late 1970s / early 1980s.
Only problem is....they included Olaf next to Figment on the Epcot design ( total fluff up....seriously, it totally ruins it!)
There are insulated beverage cups and a sharp looking pin set out as part of the 'Vault Collection'.

I went into the Starbucks at Disneyland to look for one of the ornaments with the most recent design. I came out with the ornament, a pin, the tote bag and the insulated cup... The sad thing was, it was the most amount of non-pin merchandise I bought the whole trip. Who is designing this stuff, Starbucks or Disney? Because it's a bad thing if Starbucks has better merchandise than the parks.

But I can't get excited about these tumblers. My theory is its the same sub-set of fans that goes bonkers for all the sequined mini backpacks and Mickey Ear Headbands. I don't understand those either.

Some of the ceramic tumblers, mugs, and ornaments that they’ve done are indeed nice in my view also. There was one for Magic Kingdom years ago that heavily featured Carousel of Progress, for example. The plastic spiky tumbler that set off fisticuffs in the Emporium, I don’t get the appeal of that at all either.

I agree with you about Olaf on the new Epcot specific design. Bright side: Figment looms over him. So I just imagine he is in Figzilla form and has fire-breathing abilities. Bye bye annoying snowman! :D :hilarious:

Ya know, At the very least, they ‘are’ prominently showcasing Figment alongside the IP offerings. Which is fine. The only thing I think that could be an improvement with the IP side of things would be to better theme those attractions in the context & mission of EPCOT. There can be room for a balance of both familiar film properties & unique park original content while doing them properly & making sure it’s fun at the same time.

Moana will appear on the rear balcony of the train station at precisely the moment Roy read his dedication speech to wave to her adoring fans.

A line of vloggers will surround the dedication plaque. Half will be complaining that Disney is not doing anything to celebrate, half will be discussing how Disney is honoring Roy with the statue and with the beautiful Bob rededication last week.

DLP has been on a roll with refurbs. The planets are spinning on Orbitron again.

Meanwhile the same stuff that's been broken or in need of updating for years at MK is still that way (though would anyone trust them to properly upgrade Peter Pan, Space Mountain or Carousel of Progress at this point?).
