Do those people pay $20-30 a pop for those random items of little value? These two examples are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg that goes well beyond pairs of Mickey ears.

I know people with dozens of loungefly backpacks. Some people have lots of expendable money. Seems silly to me but then I waste money to ride Haunted Mansion for the 436th time, so…
Whatever makes you happy.

I've seen a few pictures of collections.
My daughter has one bag, my wife has two. I don't see the need to get any more, but what do I know...Going to the parks, though, actually provides an experience. But I guess if someone can get that same experience looking at Loungefly bags sitting on a shelf, more power to them. Both, sadly, feed the current monster.

I don’t even know how many Funko Pops I have, over 100 though. I also collect the Harry Potter and Disney Lego sets and have a couple dozen, $50+ for most sets and I have a few that were over $300. Between those 2 collections and all my Disney stuff I’ve spent a small fortune, it was all ”fun money” (after bills and saving) though and it all makes me smile so I see it as money well spent.

Oh definitely. There are people who pay a lot more than that for Funko Pop figures, as well as stuff like Beanie Babies back in the day. Action figures, comic books, sports cards, logo shot glasses, etc. -- and those are the more normal, mainstream ones. Some people collect really odd stuff. Admittedly some people collect those things because they think they can eventually make money off of them, but that's certainly not why everyone collects them.
It's just not something unique to Disney. I personally don't see the point in any of it, but who am I to judge what makes them happy, you know?

If they’re gonna reuse the existing infrastructure for a completely new show, just PLEASE for the love of god cut that center barge with the sky high stargate. I can live with the bathing tacos, but that off-centered, fabric covered, uninteresting and unsuited ““screen”” has got to go.

The problem with using precise projections and lasers is that everything has to stay in an exact location...Moving the larges nightly would change their location daily and being off a few feet would cause havoc with the show...
I get why they are anchored... They should have figured out a way to have them drop into vaults during the day, then rise at night after dusk... but I know that would have cost more than they were willing to spend sadly...
The show packs a lot of WOW, but I think the pacing and programming tends to make it feel redundant...and off-brand for EPCOT park...

The ship must have finally been unloaded out in LA. And made it through the gangs of thieves.
With them finally making the Coke bottles available now, annual pass sales cannot be far behind!

Harmonious isn't going anywhere. However, I could see Enchantment leaving and an updated HEA return based on the bad feedback they have been getting from guests on the show.

Happily Ever After returning would be inherently problematic for Harmonious given that they have four major overlapping music selections. Harmonious would at the very least need to be modified somewhat.

Agreed, they're adding Moana and Aladdin to Fantasmic! as we speak. And ten bucks says it's going to be How Far I'll Go (agaaaaaain...) and A Whole New World (again).

Epcot is becoming Magic Kingdom v.2.0 so this checks out.

So far, to me, this whole 50th has been pretty blah/zzzzz. I don’t personally care about cupcakes and merch. I was hoping for ride enhancements like Disneyland got for their 60th and Paris has gotten for their 30th(drone show). About the only great thing to come out so far has been Spaceship Earth‘s lighting enhancements. WDW deserves better!
