Yay! We’ll be driving under that arch in a couple of weeks - can’t wait!

Here's my problem with park reservations continuing. There was always plenty of capacity in every park every day except for the few busiest days of the year. So it's not NEEDED. They want it, as has been said, for the data and so they can adjust staffing. hours. etc. So if they use this to tighten access down, that's bad. It's yet another money grab - they can cut their costs against the same revenue. I don't mind making plans for the first four days - that's in fact to start with a day in each park. But then I want to be free to say we didn't get enough done at EPCOT so let's go there today. Or we didn't make it onto ROTR so we need another day at Studios. Which brings me to... given how bad access is there, are we all going to have to reserve every freakin day at studios until we get in the virtual queue?

At this rate the 50th is going to turn from a one-hero party in to a two-hero party.

We'll have the 50th and a "welcome back" party!

man, at this point we can all get shirts that say "I went to the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World and all I got was a newly painted arch"

 

[Dean Marino]

There is no 50th . There is simply a potential return to the 30th .

 

[Krandor]

Just pretend 2020 didn’t happen. Call this year the 49th and push the 50th back a year.

is this an adjustment of tag lines? I always understood it that the Magic Kingdom was the "Most Magical Place on Earth" and then Walt Disney World as a whole was "Where Dreams Come True"

I have always considered WDW as the most magical place on earth. I think it’s interchangeable.

They’ve both used the Most Magical Place on Earth slogan over the years.

Just PLEASE don't refer to WDW as the happiest place on earth. That's 3000 miles away.

Well not this year anyway.

OTOH, it does serve to even out the crowds among all the parks.

Sounds like a joke, but I have been thinking this over the past few months. I've been planning / waiting for Disney50 for a couple of years now, and my planned date is for May 2022 - hoping that I can garner as much new experience as I can for my buck. But I am feeling now that we'll only be getting half of what was planned for us. I almost feel that I'd rather wait another one to two years to get everything that they'd planned for us. So with that being said... It made me wonder if they may need or want to revamp the DISNEY50 extravaganza. It may really be in they year of "Disney 52".... but call it off and start the celebration in 2023. People will still fall all over themselves to be there, and we will all be happy to blame it on Covid, as it is indeed the Culprit. Disney 75 can just start up to its correct date / timing.
