Chris and Matt discuss all of the exciting details of the Walt Disney World Resort's 50th Anniversary! There's so much coming, they can barely contain their excitement! Okay, we'll be honest. There really isn't a whole lot coming to the 50th Anniversary. Parades are still missing. Attractions that were promised during the 2019 D23 event aren't going to be ready. Character events are limited. All four parks are going to get really bright lights and.... that's about it. Look, if you're new to the Mass Mouse Fans podcast, you might not want to pick this episode as your first to listen. Go back to the beginning when there was still optimism. The guys promise they will be in better spirits on the next episode (unless that episode is about the new Genie+ app coming to the parks).  Interested in planning your next Disney vacation?
