This is the
50th BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY/CELEBRATION of .....
the
MAGIC KINGDOM - THE PARK (and the beginnings of Disney World)!
The content is right there, handed to you and all they came up with was a commercial for Disney Studios/Movies and Disney Plus. This is a temporary show just for the 50th! make it about 50 years in the MK!
WHERE was Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Pirates, Ghost Hitchhikers, Small World, Alice in Wonderland, Tiki Birds, Country Bears ..... where was a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow? Did I miss Snow White? So many good quotes they could have put in it. They completely dissed those we are celebrating. I am just so disappointed .... and embarrassed for Disney.
I get that maybe you don't have the creative people or budgets you once had, and yeah they might have come up short in Epcot and Animal Kingdom ............... but the work was done in Magic Kingdom and yet corporate thought .... hey lets push a whole bunch of IPs that aren't even in the Magic Kingdom. Where is the creative table that bounces ideas and that person says "Hey, why not use the music and characters from the park?" Yes, you can celebrate throughout the resort, push some IPs and make it fun .... but the Magic Kingdom should be celebrated, yet it was ignored.
The castle projections are always great, but they came off without transition. The fireworks were disjointed but I'll not gripe until I see in person that is hard to transmit on moving live stream. I think Main Street looked cool and too bad it's likely only during the show because people will cram in there.
I just want to cry - and not in a good way.
EDITED I have been told Cinderella was a flash on the castle, easy to miss and no recollection of any music related to her or her castle, the base of the show.
