Just like that "Barbie Girl" song. Remember "Life in plastic, it's fantastic".

Gee thanks. Can't get that song out of my head now...

Come on Barbie, let's go party! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Gotta update them for a Covid world though:

Come on Barbie, we can't party
No, no, no ...

We don't make weekend plans
Not even Houlahan's

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

Come on Barbie, let's go party! Oh, oh, oh, oh!

I gave you an angry face, you just solidified it, but really too funny.

So are these just the ppl. coming from DHS/Epcot resorts or are they busing ppl. from other resorts and MK/AK to some place that only allows park hoppers to enter through IG?

This would be people coming from DHS and Epcot resorts.

Nothing official but indications I have seen from various insiders is that nothing 50th specific will start prior to Oct 1st and then carry on for a year+ after that

Typically they do start celebrations early but things go pushed back due to Covid

But who knows, they could adjust and start some things early, I just wouldn't expect it at this point

Gotcha! So if you’re looking to see the 50th celebration then you’d want to aim for summer 2022 instead (if you can only do summers)? Interesting.

We’re down for July... I’m debating whether to push it back to see the 50th anniversary but if it ends up pretty muted we’ll just keep our dates anyways.

TikiTikiFan, have you caught the WDW bug? I am going in August and from what I’ve heard it will probably start on October 1st but it has been said it will run for a full year.

I think we have! I miss Disneyland so much though... I wanted to plan for a Disneyland summer but it’s too stressful to plan until things are on track to reopening. Hopefully we can do a Disneyland xmas. The D23 update made a vague mention of Avengers Campus opening in 2021 so let’s hope!

Yeah, and if you saw the other story, Disney removed Tron and Guardians from their 2021 "things to do" so I certainly think better chance of one or both of those open in Summer 2022 as well

OK @rteetz if this isn't a bannable offense...

 

[Farro]

Hi ya Barbie!

Hi Ken!

 

[rpb718]

Hi ya Barbie!

Hi Ken!

Somehow I feel a need to apologize to @rteetz.

ETA: And to the rest of the world if someone takes a video of the ride and edits in the song...

Was told by a supervisor that the Seven Seas Food Festival is still a go at Sea World, including live performances. Usually these are well known bands so I'll be interested to see if there actually will be big bands performing in February

It’s crazy how Disney has made Park Hopping seem like a brand new addition. A lot of excitement with people Twitter bragging that they got to go to all 4 parks today. Price hike is for sure coming in March as Disney will pretend these “New” additions were given to guests for a minimal extra charge.

Plus it was really only gone for less than 6 months ... Not like it was years and years or anything

For goodness’s sake let people be happy about it on the day it comes back.

I mean I see what you're getting at. But I think it's just the excitement of something that is back (even in a different form) before the pandemic. It's that sense of normalcy everyone is craving.

Well you went 0 to 100 with the assumption that I was mocking these people. Spoiler alert..I’m not. Actually the opposite. I’ve posted numerous times already today that I’m excited about park hopping being back
