Celebrating 15 years of California Adventure

[Californian Elitist]

I was referring to the time DCA had a dance party featuring various Disney characters called "Dancing With Disney" from 2012 - 2014 since I seen videos of that event on Youtube.

So you've never been. I was confused because you said "I remember..." Honestly, I'm still confused.

Look at how Disney cheapens out when it comes to DCA... This is exactly what I was talking about in another thread. Disney knows the hardcore DL fans generally don't care for DCA, so instead of putting some effort into anniversary decorations, like they do for Disneyland, they do this:

I don't even know why they bothered commemorating it.

That ugly logo looks so much worse on the Carthay Circle.

That cost them a whole $75 at Kinkos to do that!

Meanwhile, at Tokyo DisneySea...

That Tokyo ad looks cheap as well, but in a different way. The Fab 5 don't look like themselves. Still, it looks better than what DCA got.

For the park's 15th, they're getting an entire decor package, a renewed main stage show, a brand new aerialist show and a new daytime lagoon show. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...-the-year-of-wishes-for-its-15th-anniversary/

The logo is just a logo.

Yeesh. What's wrong with their eyes? Why are they inset into their sockets so far?

It's understandable, considering that the Disneyland 60th overlapped and rightly got a bigger treatment. Is there even a reason to make a big deal about the 15th anniversary of an expansion park? Especially when the original opening of the park isn't the proudest moment in the company's history.

I still really don't like Paradise Pier.

Disney had, and still has, the money to cook up something nice for DCA, even coming from the heels of Disneyland's 60th. They just chose not to.

I'm fairly positive they'll put in more effort in five years when DCA hits 20.

One thing I do miss from DCA 1.0 is that mural that sat at the entrance. It was beautiful.

Who could forget Maliboomer?

I'd rather them do nothing at all if the extent of it is a white vinyl banner and zip ties. Either do an actual celebration of some kind, or just skip it. These parks make too much money for that white vinyl banner garbage.

For the most part, I don't agree with this list, but it's nice, I guess.

It's not a question of limited money so much as it is about limited guest enthusiasm for compounding anniversary dates and signage space. Of the two anniversaries, the 60th was definitely the most important and the most profitable, so Disney wisely chose not to put too much peanut butter in the chocolate.

I just seen the 15th Anniversary ceremony on Youtube. But it won't link though.
