Ok, my family is planning a trip to DLR this Jan. Actually we have plane tickets, hotel tickets, everything but park tickets. Since I am a Disney Store Cast Member I get myself in and two one day park hoppers but thats it. And we are going for two days and want park hopper abilities. So I am looking for info on tic's to the parks.Can I upgrade my tickets at DLR??? hmmmm.... Also I have not been there for two years. That doesn't mean I dont know what I'm doing. I went there for 14 straight years of my life. So I know where the rides, pin carts, and bathrooms are. But I have not seen anything regarding the 50th Anniv. So info about the crowds, rides, fireworks will be greatly appreciated. Our trip dates are set at Jan 2-3 of 06'. Thanks in advanvce to all. And its sooooooo good to be back on the boards.

Hi :wave:

Let me warn you, even the day after New Year’s, Disneyland can still be crowded! With that in mind, try to get a spot early in front of the castle to watch the fireworks show. I’ve heard that the show is also good in front of IASW, but it was meant to be seen in front of the castle. For rides, don’t miss The Jungle Cruise, you’ll enjoy its subtle changes. Since you haven’t been to Disneyland in 2 years, be sure to visit the newly renovated Space Mountain (I like it better), the new Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and The Many Adventures Winnie the Pooh in Critter Country.

The Main Street Opera House is playing, “Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years” and there is a Disneyland exhibit before the show.
Disneyland has 50 Official Golden Hidden Mickey's hidden all over the park and those are always fun to look for! There’s also Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams, which I haven’t seen yet, but heard that it’s a very good parade.
Sounds like there’s plenty to do.

Thanks for the info. I hear the new Space Mountain is much more like a roller coaster, twisting and turning.
