I have finally decoded this message. Apparently the castle is going to be demolished after the 50th.

Shhhhhhh!!! We don’t say the quiet part out loud but I have to admit the giant Mickey glove will be more timeless and more Disney.
Here’s some Mary Blair-inspired concept art from The Zach:
Today is April 1st actually, and we do have a non April 1st update......the final peice of Bunting was added to the Castle! Saw it on Twitter from "that other site"
Tomorrow is Friday, April 2nd so, if TDO wants to break some Wonderful News, That's fine with me!!!!
This is huge! I still can’t believe I managed to get this juicy little nugget recently from one of the “top men” in management during my recent trip to WDW. Let’s just say someone has a weakness for pineapple sake. 
Had to make sure the info was solid before posting anywhere. Leaving out some of the details to protect identities, because it’s been kept under wraps and a closely-guarded secret intended to be “an October surprise”, but here’s a high-level summary:
A new MK nighttime parade to debut for the 50th - Mickey’s Magical Light Parade. Longest parade in Disney history, over 50 new floats, will include newly-written original music and also an integrated, interactive dance party (post-Covid, it could debut without this piece). Iridescent paint scheme on floats and state-of-the-art LED lighting will tie it in with the 50th celebration around the resort.

Here’s a recent play-test:
They wouldn’t let me see those photos. But see that chair nailed to the side of the float? $999 “front row experience” upcharge.

Too Bad Zach Riddley didn't announce this along with the bunting...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Do I bother coming in here the rest of the day?!?!?!?!??!
Zach? He’s a piker, all his posts have to come from the PR department. None of his thoughts are original.

At the stroke of midnight, the spell will be broken.
Poor Zach is just doing his (thankless) job. He’s not as abhorrent in real life. Like most people on social media.

Can we just take a moment and focus in on the CM on the right, who epitomizes WDW’s 50th in every way?
I noticed him and the look on his face as well. Poor guy. Probably doesn’t even get park reservations.

Sad part is if WDW ever does get a new nighttime parade it will likely be named something like that lol.

Yep. Part of the art of a good April Fool’s joke is making it sound believable.
Everytime I come across videos of PTN on YouTube I think about how it would look going down MKs parade route and how much fun it would be lol. No it’s not a perfect parade by any means and MK does deserve something more elaborate like Tokyo’s Dreamlights. But, guests would totally eat up Paint The Night like crazy at MK.
Also if you noticed since the first pre covid announcement of the 50th they seem to be focusing on nighttime, and still are with the “Beacons Of Magic”. Sure covid took a big sprinkling can and drowned the 50th lol, but we still don’t know what survived and what could come back into the plans in 2022. Not sure even insiders know that. But it’s definitely crucial we get entertainment back before the end of the year, max, for hopes of something new to come in 2022.

As it turns out, that dream will remain a wish your heart makes.
When you’re fast asleep.
MK should have had a brand new nighttime parade for the 50th. But Covid. And money.
