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

[Vegas Disney Fan]

For us the SSE lights will be the one amazing takeaway from the 50th, everything else is fairly forgettable. We liked the statues also but I don’t know if those are sticking around long term.

They’ll need something to interact with the MB+…

Im hoping that the classic blue+white castle will come back especially since we just saw it on some new merch (forget where).
The only thing holding me back from thinking itll happen is that a good chunk of the painting happened when the parks were closed in 2020 and I dont feeel like they would want all those cranes and the moat drained for that long again.

Surely they'll have to touch things up anyway. I doubt the paint underneath the decor faded evenly.

I, too, enjoy the glowy SSE nipples.

Of course. That’s very different than a full repaint.

Indeed. Much like the "50" emblems in the grass still being visible, the spires will likely show an outline of the ribbons. I suspect similar, yet less noticeable, outlines will be evident from the bunting on the "bricks."

I guess this celebration is one everybody is happy to put in the rearview mirror!

There was a celebration?

 

[ToTBellHop]

There was a celebration?

You joke until the iridescent sprinkles are gone. We don’t know how much we love a thing until it’s gone.

 

[Bocabear]

I will sure be happy when this one is gone...and the castle is returned to it's Pre-Sunburn color... What a disastrous flop the 50th was... Underwhelming from the beginning. Boo.

Don't forget the 50th tag for the Electrical Water Pageant. Something so simple but was carried out perfectly.

In all our trips to WDW we’ve still never seen this. We’ve even done dinner at Ohana a few times and still managed to miss it.

It’s on our list though.

Oh, haven’t you heard? Soon Disney will be releasing their Disney AR+ goggles. For only $39999.99/day (subject to availability, prices subject to change, park admission and park reservation not included). This revolutionary technology will immerse the guest in storytelling like never before, like only Disney can do! You’ll enjoy an even more magical storytelling experience when you wear your MB+, where stories will come to life when you approach buildings, characters, and more!

Rumored release date is Summer 2054. Apparently there are some bugs to work out.

they have a really nice 25th anniversary big castle cake key chain for sale for those who liked the castle cake. I've only seen it available in epcot oddly enough, but could be where other 50th merch is too.

The DAK Beacon of Magic is ending March 12 due to early park closing before dark, and the 50th ending this month. Last show March 11.
