BREAKING: Magic Kingdom Enhancing ‘Disney Enchantment’ with Archival Walt & Roy Footage to Properly Celebrate Walt Disney World’s 50th​

Last night’s fireworks testing at the Magic Kingdom revealed a preview of new additions to Disney Enchantment in honor of the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World.

Thanks to Twitter user @wheels_518, we can share photos of archival footage of Walt and Roy Disney projected onto Cinderella Castle.

Adding from Blog Mickey:

Sources indicated that the 50th Anniversary medallion will play clips of the Florida Project film, Roy Disney’s dedication speech, and other historical footage from the early days of Walt Disney World. The new footage and fireworks will be roughly two minutes long and play at the beginning of Disney Enchantment.

A band-aid over many issues with the show.

Agreed. I don't think one projection will save how underwhelming the show is (and how Happily ever After was better. Even for celebration's sake, Disneyland Paris's 30th fireworks is superior to Enchantment).

I can solve it for them. Show wishes. Then HEA. Done.

Select Bus Load Zones Changing at the Charter Lot of the Transportation & Ticket Center​

Guests using Transportation & Ticket Center Charter Lot starting today (Tuesday, Aug. 16) may notice that select load zones for Line Shuttles and rideshare pick-up/drop-off locations were recently adjusted. These changes should help improve the flow of traffic in the TTC Charter Lot, making it easier and more efficient to navigate.

Line Shuttle Changes: Line Shuttles for Cast Members will be moved to bus stops 19, 21, and 22 (bus stop 20 is currently being used by Guests from the Four Seasons Resort). Cast Members are welcome to wait for the Line Shuttles under the canopy.

In the event of a Monorail downtime, bus stops 19, 21 and 22 will be shared with Guests traveling to EPCOT and the Polynesian, Grand Floridian, and Contemporary resorts.

Taxi and Rideshare Changes: Taxi loading and staging will be relocated to the current rideshare and 15-minute parking area on the west side of the lot. Rideshare vehicles will now be allowed to load and unload at the canopy. Lyft vehicles will also be allowed to stage in a designated spot at the canopy. All other rideshare vehicles will continue to stage at Stolport until paired with a ride.

About damn time they decided to do something, personally I thought it was an underwhelming show for the 50th celebration. Not sure how much it will help, but IMHO it can't hurt.

Yeah, I mean, the show was fine, but just not that exciting. It seemed to be a step-down from HEA when it should have been a step up. It was no Disneyland Forever.

I've never done this tour, I may have to remedy that if I go back in December this year!

Disneyland Adds New Terms to Magic Key Annual Pass Product Including Class Action Waiver, Park Reservation Caveats, and More

You could wear fake lettuce leaves in your hair, and little Hellmann's mayo earrings to accessorize!

I should probably avoid the earrings, as my ears are not pierced. Might be a little too bloody for MK.
