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

Any info on today’s possible ceremony?

We are in!!! Lines up at 4AM at the contemporary, they let us start moving towards security at 5:40 then we entered Magic Kingdom just after 6:15. Virtual queue in place for the anniversary collection at big top souvenirs. As of 6:35 the waitlist was full.

So what does that mean? That only the first relatively few people in the park can get day or merchandise? That’s dumb of Disney.

Only news when asking cast members is a ceremony on castle stage at 7:55

Good to know. Not worth my effort then. Saves me $.

The merch location isn't open yet so they might have closed it off for now with the intention to reopen it later.

Road into mk and contemporary is stop and go.

Further update on merch - there is a virtual waitlist for pins at frontier trading post. Only way to join at the moment is via pixie dust from a cast member, we are #11 in that queue

We have seen no day of merchandise. The free park guide might be it.

This is lame

I’m sure there’s dated merchandise. Disney wouldn’t let a good opportunity to make more money off this anniversary go to waste.

It likely means that the virtual queue has reached its limit and they open it up later on.

I’m sorry but the VQ for the dated anniversary collection is dumb, if people want to wait in line let them wait line. Can’t even join the virtual queue now because it’s full and that was over an hour ago when I entered the park.

Correction, there is a new magic band with today's date on it. $60

It seems like not many are taking advantage of early entry. Twenty minutes in, PP is still 5 minutes.

Still in bed at CR figured I’d get my updates here.

Just shot off some fireworks. Scared a lot of people.

Big top souvenirs has dated merch.

I mean I could (and probably will) live without any of it.
