The "Vault" merch can only be purchased in the Main Street Cinema, but it's the best of the merchandise by far for sure.On the subject of 50th merch, most of it doesn't appear that great, but there are some items in the so-called "Vault Collection" that have my interest, including a reprint of the opening day Magic Kingdom park map. At $8, and as a fan of maps, that's something I can justify.
Yup. For those that missed it, I believe it will be on Disney+ tomorrow.The 50th Special was just wonderfully done. Great watch.
It's not like the parks were empty - they were at Covid era capacity.The lack of international Tourists is showing just how much Disney rely on them for numbers, I should have been there for the 50th but of course the whole (waves hands around) stopped me from being there
This year would've been a great year to bring back a version of the "Year Of A Million Dreams" celebration. It would've really added a lot throughout the 50th for the average guest.It's not like the parks were empty - they were at Covid era capacity.
The real problem is that so far the celebration has consisted of some new paint and statues, a media event not open to the public, a D-ticket cloned from Paris using boarding groups, added EARidesence, two new night time shows that have nothing to do with the 50th, and primarily, the call of themagicmerchandise.
I might be missing something, but I'm skeptical that these next 18 months will be that special for the average guest.
Nice to hear the special was done well.
I was kind of dreading 10% focused on an actual tribute to the resort's history, 90% focused on Iger/Chapek puffery.
Here’s all Beacons of Magic shows…That also reminds me, isn't the Tower of Terror supposed to get something like this as well?

As for the Tower of Terror, this one just doesn't make sense. There's a huge missed opportunity here. You make it look like it did in it's heyday, and then hit it with the infamous lightning strike to bring the Tower back to it's current state (with some eerie embellishments). Just having it look pretty doesn't make a whole lick of sense for a haunted tower.
I really dislike the Tower of Terror one.
