↩ replying to ToTBellHopAs much as I like to bag on them for being cheap and/or lazy these days, it does/did screw up a lot of once-in-a-lifetime photos each year.
... which is why a more permanent solution would have made sense.

Does DLP use Cranes for their Lights Install?

It would be great to permanently imbed them in the castle, but I suspect, given it’s age it probably is extremely expensive to do that due to the Fire retardant that was used in constructing it (asbestos.) The last few years they got really good at only having the crane extended during 3rd shift so that problem was solved.

I am in the minority but I actually like the color scheme of the 50th and like the castle.
Our first visit was December 2019 and I like the lights/icicles they had on it then but the new color scheme has grown on me

↩ replying to jrhwdwI won't include rides, they were coming anyway..
The good ones for me:
+Spaceship Earth Beacons
+Harmonious (nighttime edition)
+Statues
+Decor for castle
+50th intro for Enchantment (better late than never)
+Magic is Calling song
+50th cavalcade
+some moments in Enchantment
The bad ones:
-AK complete neglect (see KiteTails)
-Harmonious (daytime edition)
-Original Enchantment wasn't nostalgic at all
-Other Beacons (they were okay - but honestly never caught them live - didn't play enough)
-Should have had a temp replacement for FoF or brough a nighttime parade
While not part of the 50th, let's add that the Magical Express and free line skipping died during it's run.
I'd put 50th overall as mixed bag, but not an abomination. And some of that is on Covid.

The 50th? Simply put The 50th was the anniversary that wasn't.

↩ replying to GimpYancIentIt’s exactly how I want my 50th to go, honestly. I want people to pretend it’s not happening because I’m afraid to grow old and die.
But there can be cupcakes. Just make sure they don’t look like birthday cupcakes. Just like…we are having dessert just ‘cuz.

↩ replying to ToTBellHopMy suggestion is to not be home for your birthday makes it better. Celebrating my 40th in a few months, that day I will be in the glass roofed car of the Durango and Silverton Railroad throughly enjoying myself.

↩ replying to jrhwdwThe WDW's 50th was generally flop for me i believe, like Strange World theatrical release. They originally didn't much listen to the guests about the need of nostalgia for the 50th. I hope they learned a lesson from its flopped celebration for Disney 100th anniversary worldwide celebration.

↩ replying to TouchdownI’m going on a cruise for my 40th next year. Think I’ll get the deluxe beverage package…and I don’t even drink.
Separate cruise for my wife’s 40th because we both deserve one. But she invited her parents…think she will need the deluxe beverage package…
