Was the Disney World 50th That Bad?



I mean, I had fun. But was it enough fun? That’s for you to decide. How much fun I had, that is. The 50th Anniversary of WDW has come and gone, we’ve had our ups and we’ve had our downs, but how was it really? And was it truly a celebration to remember?

  1. It's kinda hilarious to me when people say a ride is new when it already exists in another park. Disney just copy-paste rides around the world. Something ACTUALLY NEW & Thrilling would be Fantastic! Guardians sucks. There. I said it. Tron sucks. Oh look! I said it again!! I loved this video by the way. I can always count on OFFHAND Disney videos. Hoppy Peeps Day!!

  2. 1) Yes, you pronounced Creperie de Paris exactly right
    2) I sat and watched the Rainbow Connection show on Spaceship Earth last year during Festival of the Arts and just sobbed. It was so simple and so beautiful and it tapped into something in me I wasn't expecting to feel at a Disney park ever. Which seems to sum up Disney at the moment: when they get it right, they get it really really right. When they get it wrong it sucks.

  3. Now while not technically a part of the 50th we did get the return of Fantasmic during this year with a few new segments! I’d love to know where you’d put that on the tier list as well!

  4. It was the world's most pathetic celebration! One ride that wasn't new, just a port from another park, 2 lame nighttime shows (neither comes close to DL 50th), plus thinking just put mapping will be enough is pathetic as well. We waited as long as we could and still missed guardians (only open for rich folks at the time we were there). It definitely wasn't worth the money spent.

  5. Walt would be ashamed of what the u.s. has become. And that so many around the world, no longer want to travel to the u.s. The violence, the division, the hate and stupidity is the end of his dream. Very sad. #pathetic
