Part one:

Space Mt: re-route the exit into a post-show area that is supposed to be an inter-glaltic space station which you just travled too. Around the station would be various activites for guests to partcipating in space mining, satlaite repair ect. these would all be in the form of interactive kiosks for guests to play with.

Jungle Cruise: Re-route the exit through an ancient temple in-place of what will be the former site of Aladdin's Oasis. In it's place will be a new interactive area that will be both post show and a new attraction. This new temple will contain a labrynth with twoentrances and one exit, one entrance will be for the post show of JC the other will be a general entrance. The labrynth will be interactive and will operate like the other maze type attractions overseas.

Pirates of the Carribean:
After the exit of the ride there will be a small area where Battle of Buckanear Bay from DisneyQuest will be added. The AA on this ride will also be updated so that they have some more advanced movments, that appear to be more human like.

Haunted Mansion: Here the pre-show would change as the streching room would be to made strech extra long, dropping guests an extra floor below where they once used to exit, then here , guests would enter a library where books move and the busts that follow you would be moved here. the fireplace in the library would also start by it'self. above the fireplace would be the morphing picutre found in the foyer of the WDW version. then here a guests would be lead behind a turning bookase by a CM and lead up a small spirla stair case up to the hallway to limbo which would be the same minus the busts in there place would be new morphin paintings. In the library we would once again be greeted by our ghost host, giving a similar speil to what is given in the library scene at WDW, but then additionaly dare them to jounrey deeper through the secret passage ways of the mansion then the one bookself would slide over and there would be a CM there holding a fake candel to guid guests up the stair case.

Sleeping Beauty Castle

I know many people did not like painting WDW's castle pink for the 25th but acutally I did, well until I saw that they hardly did the back at all. For the 50th Sleeping Beauty's castle would be painted gold, but it would be done all the way around, and the whole exterior would be lined with new fiber optics that would also make the caslte shimer, and the numbers 50 would fade in and out above the arch way like on the ToT sign.

Then at night a new show would be done over the castle called Golden Memories, this would be a new fireworks shot over the the castel, the begining of the show would have lights complelty off of the castls so it is complelty dark then, tinker bell would fly over and the fiber optics woudl fill in the surface of the castle then after it was all filled in with gold pixie dust the fireworks woudl start and a water screen would start in front of the castle(this screen would be built into the mote below the drawbridge which would be raised prior to the show) on the water screen would be shown picutres of walt at Disneyland and other clips anf film motage of the park, the show would cebrate the parks first 50 years and dreams comming ture in general.

Also now at every park opening during the celbration the drawbridge to the castle will be lowered in a park opening ceremony.

Part II:

The general park enhancement will be something that has bugged me for quite some time, Disney is the industry leader in theming and everything down to the trashcans are themed, but what isn't the bathrooms.... granted there is some slight details here and there to tie it into the land, but really nothing much so here is the decors per-land

Main Street: Turn of the century Parlor decor, stately wall paper, ornate light fixtures and such

Tommorowland: Very sci-fi with blinking lights that serve no purpose everything will be or look like it is made of chrome or brass and there will be a talking robot built into the wall around the hand dryers.

Fantasyland: The interior will look like the bathroom you would expect to find in a Bavarian castle.

Advenutreland: The decor here will be bamboo, yes everything will be made out of bamboo and other explorerish type materials

Frontierland: The decor here will be very saloon like doors on the stalls that open like saloon doors and there will be a shelf of fake bottles place above the sink mirror area.

ToonTown: Everything will be disformed and colorful

New Orleans Square: here the decor will be French quarter style wrought iron and such.

------------------------------------------------------

Park Entertainment:

New Day time parade: Fifty Years of Fantasy Parade

This parade will celebrate the animated classics that have either been released while Disneyland existed or that have been represented in the park with an attraction, the order of the floats will be: (* denotes a mini-float roughly 1/3 the size of a normal float these will run in groups of three)


Sleeping Beauty

101 Dalmatians*
Sword of the Stone*
Robin Hood*

Jungle Book

Winnie the Pooh

Snow White

Alice in Wonderland

Peter Pan

Fantasia/Fantasia 2000

Pinochio

Dumbo*
Bambi*
Lady and the Tramp*

Cinderella

Little Mermaid*
Beauty and the Beast*
Aladdin*

The Lion King*
Pocahontas*
The Hunchback of Notre Dame*

Hercules *
Mulan*
Tarzan*

Mickey and Gang on a cake version of Sleeping Beauty castle.

Yes this would be a large and long parade having 15 scenes, but you only have one 50th anniversary so why hold back.

Electric Light Parade: The parade will return to Disneyland Park only for the 50th Celebration then it will move back to DCA. The Parade will contain additional floats for the 50th celebration featuring several scenes from Fantasia 2000, Aladdin and a float with a light version of the "partners statue" as the centerpiece of a cake with 50 candles as the new finale.

Fantasmic!: There finale will be permanently changed and first introduced during the celebration, now in addition to fighting maleficent in her dragon form, Mickey will have a triple threat of villainous treachery to battle, now including a large Chernabog AA and a combo water screen/AA Jafar genie. Of course in the end Mickey defeats all three at once, only because of his powerful imagination.

Also special CM's would be added to Fronteirland, Adventureland and Tommorowland as respectively Fronteirspeople, Explorers, and Galactic Ambassadors to purely interact with the guests.
--------------------------------------

Finally the new land added in place of where Festival Arena is would be called Golden Memories Mall and would feature as an interactive showcase showing Disneyland over the last 50 years.

After the celebration the area will be converted over to Holiday Town which will be a Frontier Town extension of Frontierland that will have seasonal celebrations that will offer seasonal activities and seasonal shows.

Hey, I just saw this and thought I'd comment.

First, the gold castle, I can't see that, nro do I want to, can't we just put in fiber optics and not worry about color?

Second, firework show sounds great. maybe I could add some cool idea to help yu out with it because I love designing fireworks shows. Working on one myself.

Third, why change Fantasmic!, I think it's great the way it is. How about a Nemo scene that never came about? - The WeirdOne :D

Well, I can see it in my head and the castle looks okay, it would not be one solid color of gold, but for each seperate hue of color present on the castle there would be one new hue of gold, so it is not going to look like a big blob or anything, and the fiberopitcs will show up alot better this way during the day.

If you would like to please do go ahead and add some cool ideas to the show Golden Memories, I have the general set up there for you just go off that

I was never really all that impressed witht the final battle of Fantasmic! I find it rather anti-climaitc considering the magnitude of the rest of the show, plus I would just love to see Chernabog and the Jafar genie, maybe I would just add them in rather than one big battle, but I think it would be preety spectatlular to see Mickey triumph over these three badies all at once.

About the castle, GREAT! As long it wasn't one solid color like I was thinking. Interesting idea. I like it!

Fantasmic!, personally, I would rather keep the ending the same, maybe adding in ONLY Chernabog, and adding in a Nemo scene (JimHill's Site) rather than messign with anything else.

FOr the fireworks show, I got some great ideas for some cool effects and ideas. For the water screen, will it be up the whole show or not?

Do you have a theme song written for Golden Dreams the celebration. Like a 50th Anniversary song? It would really help me out if you did. Thanks! - The WeirdOne :D

The water screen would be up for the majority of the show unless the pryo was doing something which should be the center point.

Lyrics wise I will try to make a song but tune wise I am not able to help, I will have something up in the next couple of days if all goes well. :)

First off, good work. I like these ideas, but....

HM can't have stairs. I don't know how Disneyland handles handicapped riders, but I don't think Disneyland Legal wants people walking up a set od dark stairs either... they're butchering Tom Sawer's island, and even that's fully-lit.

As for Tomorrowland, I think it needs more... something... It's lacking right now, and they need to put in something new, big, and crowd-pleasing. If you ask me, adding Timekeeper and Buzz Lightyear would do the trick, but there's got to be something more original.

Here here, Disneyland's Tommorowland is sort of becoming Yesterdayland. Granted they've got crowd-pleasers like Space Mountain and the "Orbiter" and the HISTA and StarTours and Autopia and the gutted COP building for Innoventions but they could really put something else cutting-edge. Or at least something popular. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Buzz a relatively "cheap" ride, money-wise? After all, most of the characters are cut-outs. Guests just love Buzz at WDW. And it would be an easy install in the "empty" buildings at Tom-land. Who knows, it could even be a --------- placeholder! :drevil:

Well here a little something I guess this could be a refrain:

Golden memories of dreams comming true
unleash the magic in me and you
Enchanted nights and joyful days
we spread our magic in our own special ways
Spreading smiles and happniness too
these Golden Memories we share with you

God, I could just hear that being plastered over the airways two years from now. And it'd make a nice slogan to not only be plastered over the airways but also countless snowglobes, pins, mugs, t-shirts, etc. You get the picture.

Verses

Well I need a break from studying so here are the verses:

Looking back we all can see
our precious moments in memory
Echoes of laughter from the years gone by
Flicker and sparkle like stars in the sky

[Refrain]

Remembering all the special times we've had
and the magical moments that made us glad
the stars we've wished upon from long ago
now once again they shine their stunning glow

[Refrain]

Through all the magic and the dreams come true
The trails of pixie dust and laughter too
We are reminded of the happy moments gone by
and a horizon of memories to come breaks the sky

[Refrain]
