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

[bmr1591]

My wife and I loved Enchantment, but it was also our anniversary when we first saw it and it was our first time at Disney in a while. Very fond memories together.

but but but....they put gold colored statues around the parks! They had multiple opportunities to purchase Anniversary-branded stuff no one wanted...they had cupcakes for sale...Surely that was enough to make a spectacular celebration....no?

must have been successful, the statues are still there (w/ their 50th medallions still in place) -- the anniversary branded stuff is still available (full price) in the shops -- so it is not like the celebration ever ended.

No one will ever forget, "You are the Money!...er...Magic!"

Seriously that is exactly what the 50th felt like...
"Buy our stuff and be glad you are all our fans!
We will celebrate by raising prices for you and make it even more difficult to enjoy the parks..Huzzah! "

I had a few friends that came down specifically for the 50th…and boy were they underwhelmed. Just shows when regular people (not just us hardcore fans) didn’t think it was good that it REALLY wasn’t good.

That tagline is super unmemorable compared to "Live the Magic" (Disneyland's 60th Anniversary), "The Happiest Homecoming/Celebration on Earth" (Disneyland's 50th Anniversary), and "Remember the Magic" (WDW's 25th Anniversary).

they can use "Remember The Magic" again...but with a completely different meaning....You have to remember it because it isn't here anymore...lol

Remember when they changed the wand from 2000 to Epcot?

I want a sticker for completing the damn thing.

Obviously to take down the 50th branding. I'm very interested in how they'll "refresh" Abu, then:

or Jaq and Gus

I like these statues and they provide something to do, even if it can be a pain trying to activate them. Liking the Ducktales thing at Epcot as well so far.

If the don't want to just change the logo on the disc, it could be a tasty cookie.

60 Billion DOLLARS!!!!

I'm glad these are sticking around. They're a fun thing to do while walking around the parks - and they made for a great distraction for the youngest in our group during our last trip when we had time to kill and/or crankiness started setting in. "Hey, loom at that! Let's see what it does!" saved us from a few whine sessions.

If they took them out there would be complaints about what a waste the purchased magic band would be, if they stay complaints about how cheap they are for keeping them. What is guaranteed is someone is going to hyperventilate.

Just chill,
