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

[JohnD]

Just in time for my trip next week

Mine is next week too. Oh well.

Correct. Draining takes multiple days so wild life can be relocated

Considering the amount of frogs and pollywogs I see on a daily basis they must have had a lot of catching to do.

Well thats a wrap on the wrap. Time to do something else.

As long as they keep the down-lighting on all the monorails, I'm happy the wrap is removed. It looked unfinished.

Along with the lighting and shows on Spaceship Earth, the monorail down-lighting was among the best improvements made for the parks during the 50th.

A Disney 100 Sign replaced the 50th at the Train Station!!!!!

Some of the 50th drape decorations have been removed from the castle. Repaint of the gray bricks doesn't look too likely now..

The magic was trying to call, but was in a dead zone.

This statement can pretty much sum up the entire 50th effort.

Yes, it can.

A good example of what @marni1971 characterised as the proactive attitude of Disneyland Paris management compared to WDW management is that they have introduced a new drone choreography to the fireworks preshow for the final "farewell" period of the 30th anniversary celebration. A nice touch that I can't imagine WDW doing without some spreadsheet to show it would bring in extra revenue.

I don't really think its a big deal that the "Fab 50" statues are staying, but are they going to at least take off the "50th" medallions?

They even remixed Paris' 30th Anniversary Theme too!

From what I am hearing yes, but I have maybe 60% confidence in her information.

I’ve lost count of the different versions of the song now. They all add up to a subconscious layer of celebration that ties the whole event together. The 30th is far superior to the non event of the 50th.

I think even TWDC 100th @ WDW will beat the 50th. In terms of entertainment HEA, Epcot show without mining rigs, nighttime parade, another SSE led sequence > Enchantment, Harmonious, Cavalcade.

Forgive me but, that's not confirmed.............

 

[HauntedPirate]

I'm still trying to figure out why people fall all over themselves praising the LED pucks on SSE.

 

[Squishy]

Not confirmed but I'd say it has a good chance of happening considering a few reputable people were talking about something going on with nighttime parades.

And how!

If ever there was a time for "Remember The Magic" this anniversary was it... Since it sure wasn't magical....we could at least remember when it was....
