What time does everyone plan on arriving at MK on the 1st? They open at 8 so I was thinking 7 but that might not be early enough.

Also, have any plans been released or rumored regarding a ceremony that morning?

They rumored to have a plan to close the Magic Kingdom to the general public due to a media event of WDW 50th anniversary in September 30, similar to Disneyland 50th anniversary Press Event in May 4, 2005.
more generic mannequins....would it have hurt them turn this into a 50th exhibit instead?

Here is a novel concept of an idea…. How about they convert this space to….. I dont know…. A CINEMA?!?! Lol.
I know, i know… going back to showing cartoons in this space takes away from Uncle Bobs master plan of Merch, Merch, Merch.

I still remember the cinema as a little boy. I also remember the day I was waiting for MK to open past the hub and going in the Magic Shop on the other side of Main Street. I purchased a fake cast for my arm.

Wouldn't it be great if they brought back the old-time pictures? The ones where you are standing at the back of a steam train with period-correct cloths. I had one of those pictures taken in 1981. I can't remember where that was. It may have been down Main St a bit more.
Lol at those crowds.

also.. cavaaaageees.. in spaaaace

Was just showing my parents that video to show them the insanity of the crowds. That one poor cast member... She literally had to talk to them like they were school children saying "walk don't run" LOL!

How tone-deaf.

I was thinking the opposite. Let the bloggers and vloggers wake up at 3am and get there first. I'll still get there in the morning. But was thinking about 9am after the initial rush.
I can't wait for WDW to host an opening event one day and say "no cameras allowed" ha!
I can't stand vloggers.

If you see the rest of the video. The line increased exponentially and was probably slowed to a crawl.
Only the front area was consistently being served. I imagine the back ones were for cast members and executives.

What video where?

Grr. I already ordered an HM themed band. Guess I'll have to pay more at WDW next week if I really want one. (I like the first version the best.)

If I were to guess, TOT is unique to Disney. The Chinese Theatre is not. The real one is in Hollywood, CA.
