I just feel so embarrassed for Star Wars fans after seeing all those people waving plastic light sticks. I'll be watching Star Trek.

Yes, I don't see how anyone couldn't notice.
This has all been a load of crock.

The Star Wars segment was equivalent to the joke Harrison Ford did when Episode 7 was announced. Ford took his money, shoved it in his pocket, and jokingly just stated "I hear they're making another one". That's what this was.
They're making a Star Wars Place.

Guys, I'm pretty sure I just saw Whoopi Goldberg from Star Trek plugging all the Star Wars junk and thanking Walt Disney.

Glad I'm not the only person who felt like this.God you people hate everything. It's almost hard to tell if this is a Disney fan site or a Disney hate site sometimes.

brb1006, you have to admit though, that this is in no way an anniversary special about Disneyland... if it is, how so? What segments in particular were about Disneyland and its history, celebrating its existence for 60 years?

Audience prematurely clapped before the end of the Sorcerer's Apprentice (which was cool, but nothing to do with Disneyland), which goes to show they aren't Disney fans.

Seriously? The title of the "special" is "Disneyland 60," yet it actually has nothing to do with Disneyland or its history through six decades. It's misleading.

Doing some armchair thinking... could have, oh, I don't know... featured DISNEYLAND during the Sorcerer's Apprentice... ya know? Like... played a montage of night shift operations... showing the busyness and work that goes on every day at the park that this special is SUPPOSED to be about.

Wait, new Asian Disneyland opens in June and all they could show were some crappy renderings?

That's what gets me too. Spend the effort to assemble this idiotic mish mash of randomness that sums up to have NOTHING to do with anything related to anything... and then actually toss in some promotions.... and, lets be honest, not show ANYTHING considerable nor new about them? Could've made a big impact with something that people and news reports would've been talking about tomorrow etc... but no, all people will be doing is going "Disney releases a new rendering of their upcoming project"...

I enjoyed watching the special. Watched it with my daughter, she helped me figure out who some of the performers were, and I enjoyed them for the most part. I went into it figuring there would be little to nothing on the parked, and was glad to see they did feature some at the beginning. I loved the Star Wars part, and orchestra performance. My son loved the part where they waved the lightsabers. I feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a light stick to wave. And I don't think Star Wars Experience is the actual name of the land, but who really cares what it's called? It's no worse than Star Wars Land.

Are you surprised you didn't like something that highlighted the ruin of Disneyland, as you like to refer to Star Wars Land???

As others have noted, very little of this had to do with Disneyland.
Much of it was just performances (OF COURSE they're gonna sing "Let It Go"), promotions for upcoming movies, and stupid montages of animated films. I gave up after the fourth montage.

Must have been just on the west coast. I didn't see it in the DC area where I am. Universal was smart to by advertising during the special.

Yes, completely unreasonable that people were expecting an infomercial about Disneyland...
What makes that so bad is they had to spend time making it look so hokey. Just the pure Revit models look rather amazing.
What do either of those have to do with Disneyland?
