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

[FettFan]

Saturday is IT, folks!

Who is excited to finally see the end of this laughably bad ‘anniversary celebration’…?

I would like to know what is to become of all of those golden statues though.
Recycling?
Upper mangement giveaways?
Melted down to form new chain ropes for the ‘Tiana Bayou’ Attraction queues…?

Repainted and placed in the Pet Cemetery.

Wait…. Information Technology is going to tear down and rebuild Genie/Genie+/MDE?!

 

[wdwmagic]

Yeah, I thought the “anniversary” was ending at the end of the month.

Yes, end of the month. So a couple of weeks remain.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just spray painted all those 50th statues silver and shipped them over to Disneyland for the 100th celebration. Since they're trying to push Magicband+ out here.

Wait, what?

<checks the countdown in my signature>

What's "it" this Saturday? Did I miss some announcement?

Oops…my mistake.
For some reason I thought it was March 18th.

Nothing to see here…move along….move along….
These are not the golden statues you are looking for.

Any word on anything big to close it out or is it just going to be a same old day like always?

They are going to end it just like they started it…..popcorn buckets. I still can’t get over the lines for popcorn buckets that day.

It’s hard to stage a coup d’etat when you blow our cover! Dammit, Jim!

Management just want it to go away and be forgotten at this point.

I once had a breakup like that.

I plan to stay friends with the 50th on Facebook so I can joke with my wife about how awful it looks in 10 years.

It won't be hard to forget. I think many (most??) already have.

Future look of post-50th castle?

I do like the colors on the current castle... but I like the previous colors better lol

Please forgive me as I am certain my question has been discussed. I do follow the thread. My excuse for my memory lapses has been COVID and it is wearing thin. It is really old age and time for me to admit it.

If I remember correctly, the Epcot Beacon of Light show will continue. My favorite is the original Beacon of Magic 50th show. Will this particular show be continued or just other rotating versions such as the Encanto version for F&G?

SSE lights will continue. Shows will get cycled out based on the festival taking place.
There's two "base" shows. The actual one for the 50th (Answer the call) and the regular one.

From the beginning of the video to 1:15, that's the 50th. I'd guess that one will end soon. The one starting at 1:20 is the regular show and should continue running.

Thank you so much! The one starting at 1:20 is my favorite and I sure hope it keeps running.

Complete with the music from Harmonious that we will bury in a few weeks?

*The Epcot Anthem that Harmonious barely uses in the show and is easily missed*

Isn't this a photo of the castle from after the redecoration to pink, but before the redecoration of the spires to the deeper blue?
