10/1/21 (Planning thread for those w/ Magic Kingdom ressies on the BIG 50th)!

It feels like they prioritized media events these days and there was nothing extra for guests coming today ..
still excited to be here!

I feel like all of the people who said that they were prioritizing ceremonies and events over rides today are going to be very disappointed.

We did manage to just get on buzz lightyear with only a 5 minute wait, with a 15 minit's a 15 minute posted wait time. so there's that.

Luckily, we were able to get a 10 o'clock breakfast reservation at steakhouse 71. We had debated canceling it so we could stay in the park, but good thing we didn't.

We're just doing rides right now. Virtual queue for merch keeps messing up for me and timing out or going to a bad gateway. Have one going again but not holding my breath.

Were people expecting anything less than crowds and lines?

3 minutes before welcome show. Hardly ”insane” crowds.

Obviously today was going to be very busy but I am curious what it will be like next week.

 

[Gzub1003]

I would. Welcome show a complete bust. Absolutely nothinh special happening today. Same floats / mini parades that went on yesterday. Such a disappointment.

I changed to Hollywood Studios. Can pretty much walk on everything except ROTR of course

We took one look inside and turned right around.

I just saw a guy pushing a wheelchair full of merch on CR walkway.

You can't fix stupid with people, but you can limit their ability to act like idiots. Why in the world would WDW not have better crowd control? They've got Chapek steps away doing his pr garbage while people are fighting over plastic cups and gaudy t shirts. It's disgusting.

Won’t these items be available for the next 18 months?

They are handing out small commemorative posters as you exit Magic Kingdom.

And I think that blue banner up top looks like funeral bunting.

That will be on eBay in a few minutes

They will be on ebay in 10 minutes for an inflated price

I'll be in Orlando In november and hope to be able to snag that 50th soap.

 

[BK2014]

We asked as we left the park and we were told that our park reservations guaranteed reentry.

Not the limited stuff with today's date.

I was hoping for a little more action in that Emporium video.
