WDW and the 50th Celebration

I keep meaning to say something about this...it's probably been said before,
but what the heck.

I've noticed a lot of commercials (not as many lately) touting the 50th
Anniversary celebration....but they always refer to WDW, not DL. WDW has
only been around some 30ish years, right? So why are THEY celebrating 50
years? I can understand celebrating in recognition of DL, but they seem to
be advertising it as though it is WDW's 50th anniversary.

I just thought of it because the History Channel is currently playing that
behind the scenes show on Modern Marvels I spoke of a few months ago...and
they talked about WDW and the 50 years of Magic celebration, or something
like that.

Ok done ranting...carry on.

I'm in Las Vegas and I see way more WDW ads than DL ads. I scream at the TV
everytime I see one.
