50th Anniversary Update (June '21)

[AnimalKingdomFan79]

What are everyone's thoughts on the latest updates from Disney this morning about the 50th? I think it all sounds so amazing! I'm really curious about the Animal Kingdom daytime show

In case you missed it: new fireworks show, Harmonious date, new daytime show at AK, new gold sculptures & new cavalcade

I think it’s great news! I kinda figured Harmonius would premier on Oct. 1 and there would maybe be Magic Kingdom fireworks. Surprised at the AK show but glad they’ll have something. And kinda betting the boats used are the kite boats from Epcot Forever.

I'm super excited for everything (except the crazy crowds) for our trip in October. I've only got 1 day for Epcot (scheduled) but I'm hoping if I miss HarmonioUS I'll be able to hop over one evening later in the week.

I completely missed this announcement (been *so* busy lately!) - will these things still be around come January next year?

We're so very excited for the big 50th Celebration! We need to start a thread on who all is going to be at Magic Kingdom on Oct 1st. I know there's a few of us and I would love to meet up even for a couple of minutes to get a picture together if we can! Stay tuned for that thread!

Much love and big hugs!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I’m adding to this late but just wanted to say that although I can’t be there as we’re in the uk and can’t get into the USA currently. I hope you all have an amazing time, treat yourself to goodies galore so you go home with great memories. We will be with you in spirit!
