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

[brb1006]

When I first heard that, I asked myself, then why am I here? I could be saving money right now.

But cupcakes...

But cupcakes...

But I'm the Magic, right? I shouldn't need cupcakes and fireworks and rides and long lines for merch. Because I AM MAGIC!

You must not like HEA then?

You must not like HEA then?

I don't recall HEA saying, "You are the Magic."

Something I greatly appreciated: the Electrical Water Pageant’s 50th anniversary additions. A lovely addition to an already classic experience. It fit right in and felt like a true “legacy” plussing.

Agree. I actually saw it last night, March 31, for the first time with the 50th piece. I hope they keep that..

For some reason, they changed the digital maps, but didn’t change the my Disney experience log in screen or the app logo itself

50th Crest is still up. I knew DE needed it! If it's still up tomorrow, MK is taking its time! LOL!!!!

It will be. It was put up and in place while HEA was still playing.

50th monorail is still wrapped

It costs extra to roll out an app update, at least in the App Store, on a weekend. Give it until mid-week.

I would think it's calling to us again. Because for the last year and half we were the Magic. Apparently, we didn't need to come to WDW. When I came on the actual anniversary, October 1, 2021, and first heard that, I thought I could have saved myself a trip and thus money.

Give me some razor blades and some glass cleaner and I'll take care of it for them.

It's also the weekend, and the crews generally only work M-F graveyard shifts. I do believe that they didn't bother with projection modifications for the absence of the crest (rightly so, considering it's mere days we're talking about), though, so it could be both.

Should mention that Let The Magic Begin had Pyro where I thought it would this Morning! Still Over The Moon that MK's Anthem is Back!!!!

Mickey's Cal Should have stayed and got the Anthem but oh well......

Couldn't put my finger on identifying this feeling before, but it hit me earlier today. Watching all the 50th stuff come down is like watching the last remnant of the pandemic going away.

Everything looks cleaner now.

A lot of the gripes with the 50th are unfortunately related to this. While I don’t excuse the lack of a proper celebration, it may have been for the best since a lot of people equate the 50tn with Covid and pandemic restrictions.
