VIDEO: Refurb Scrims Coming Down, 50th Anniversary Emblem Up
Some of the refurb scrims in Magic Kingdom around the Main Street Train Station are coming down and the 50th Anniversary Medallion is up, and MickeyBlog.com has coverage!
The 50th Anniversary Celebration of the opening of Walt Disney World begins on October 1 and lasts 18 months. Moreover, preparations began in earnest this summer. Yesterday, two new developments had our MIckeyBloggers rushing to the Magic Kingdom in earnest.

“A surprise stream is always a great stream,” said Greg Antonelle, who joined Elyssa back in the Magic Kingdom on Friday afternoon for an impromptu live stream. “This will be a shorter stream.”
However, the 45-minutes (or so) were chock full of 50th Anniversary nuggets.
