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

[ToTBellHop]

I wouldn't bet a nickel that those times remain unaltered even at a thousand to one odds.

I know but it is odd to select a schedule that excludes a marketed offering. Not that I expect competence from the schedulers.

They knew enough to move the MK baseline close from 8 pm to 9 pm though, so they at least remembered the time-change.

Sort of a random question - but since it's been about 18 months or so - does anyone think the pink/rose gold paint on the castle has faded at all? I remember right after it was repainted some folks (myself included) were thinking if it faded a bit it wouldn't be so....well.....ugly.

Yes it has faded a bit.

It has faded a bit. It's still ugly.

A not-so-subtle attempt at feel-good PR.

"HarmoniUS made me cry" They must have edited this lady as she was saying her sentence..I'm sure she was saying "Illuminations was my favorite show! HarmoniUS made me cry.."

Well, at least the producer of that video can rest assured that they have a promising future ahead of them in the CCP's propaganda publicity unit if the whole Disney thing doesn't work out.

All of y’all are grumpy and need to listen more closely. They were very clear. You are the Magic. Stop asking them to Magic for you. Don’t be lazy.

I have a question...does anyone have an inkling if they are continuing the extra hours after close for deluxe resort guests beyond the 50th celebration? If I remember correctly, they were announced as part of the celebration.

I doubt they’ve decided. If they get rooms booked and cost less than the discounts otherwise needed, sure. The early entry is meant to be permanent though.

Disney is desperately trying to recapture the 25th Anniversary style marketing with these videos.

They (shop Disney) are having some real big issues (IMHO). They seem to be shipping out incorrect products, really seems like their inventory system logged all the product SKUs incorrectly.

My wife had been wanting a dress she had seen in promo photos. We never saw it in the parks, she did not get it when it hit shop Disney but later heard a lot of folks saying they ordered the WDW 50th and got the Disneyland dress of the same type of design -- then we heard a lot of folks ordered the DL and got the WDW -- a mistake I guess --

But then she saw a jersey she had been waiting for -- she ordered it from shop Disney -- they sent her a Hong Kong earidesent jersey that had not been released yet. I would have thought they would have figured out what happen w/ the dress (the funny here is that we also heard that WDW was shipped the DL dresses) and straighten it all out as opposed to just shipping stuff out wrongly.

Use the > on the right to swipe through photos -

The new food offerings sure look beautiful.

If only the actual Anniversary itself had as much effort, creativity, and time invested in it as these social-media -photo-friendly-food items have been given.

Don’t feel bad. They didn’t put that much effort into this. One new item is at Cheshire Cafe. Cheshire Cafe is closed.

Oops.

There's still the blue on the spires but it's again faded, and the pink is faded and still ugly. It's the worst of both worlds... Pink on Cinderella Castle is wrong, Wrong, WRONG.

No doubt. Who puts a piece of chocolate on a cinnamon roll and calls it "a new treat!!!"?
