Disneyland 60th Anniversary Special

So he didn't do ''Rocket Man'' on the Space Mountain concourse or ''Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters'' in front of the Alice in Wonderland rides?

I wish. That would be fun!

Off-color jokes? Check.

Shameless plugs for Disney Empire properties? Check.

Fall Out Boy? Check.

Disneyland history? Yeah, we'll back to you on that.

I can't get the applause app to work. Sounded neat, oh well.

A bit too much general Disney plugs and not enough Disneyland

Just more evidence that Disney has no love or respect for themed entertainment and one of its greatest triumphs, Disneyland.

Boy, really pushing the "strong female characters" angle, aren't they?

Funny thing about the Disney princess movies.

After Snow White, Walt didn't make another "princess" story for 13 years; nowadays, we get a new princess movie approximately every eighteen months. Not that it has anything to do with the princess "brand."

So much for imagination, creativity, dreams, etc.

More crazy excited audience members. The guy in the front with the long hair is sooooooo excited!

Nowhere near the epic-ness of Tag Team singing "Whoomp There it Is" on the Astro Orbiter....

The modern company has no idea what to do with the legacy of the parks.

What is the point of this show? I can't imagine it making anyone want to visit DLR; I guess it's supposed to sell more DVDs, iTunes downloads, etc?

Ah. Here it is

 

[RandomPrincess]

Ah. Here it is

Selli other products is what Disney thinks the parks are there for; an overly expensive marketing platform for suckers.

 

[RandomPrincess]

This seems more like a Disney in general celebration.

It's not even general Disney. Almost everything has been from the animated features.

I see your Tag Team and raise you a Will Smith....

Just let me know when the Star Wars Land info is posted on YouTube. Too much fluff.

That's all opinions but it's pretty universally agreed on that WDW has a far superior TOT. Then there's subjective things like the longer Haunted Mansion and more spread out Splash Mountain. The removed DL classics like Country bear jamboree, Peoplemover, carousel of progress, the Astro orbitor on a higher level. The long animatronic rides like spaceship earth and great movie ride, the live animals on Kilimanjaro safaris. Unique resorts like animal kingdom lodge, the contemporary with the monorail going through and roof top restaurant with amazing views to watch the fireworks. Plus world showcase which has two circle vision shows, an animatronic show, two boat rides and each country with unique cultural elements.

Sounds great to me! I'm sure as a first time visitor it will be amazing. I'm very excited to compare versions of certain attractions. It will also be kind of surreal to see a remix of a Disneyland. With familiar attractions in different locations etc. Of course I want to do everything we don't have over here so...seven dwarfs mine train, RNRC, EE, etc. It 'll also be cool to see CBJ again after so many years and go on the COP for the first time. I've read that AK is a beautful park and Pandora should be awesome. Overall I think just being at different Disney parks where I don't know every nook and cranny will be the most exhilarating. I've been to DL more times than I can count.... Still love it though.

Of TOT, HM, and Splash the first two seem to be universally accepted as the superior version at WDW. The verdict on the better Splash seems closer to 50/50. Of course I have only seen the YouTube ride thru for WDWs but the dings that the DL splash gets are actually the things that I like about the ride. I love the pacing and that the interior scenes are more like a FL dark ride. I also prefer the southern music at DLs version to the more Western sounding soundtrack at WDW. I also heard the final drop is more thrilling at DL.

There's been very little Disneyland in the "Disneyland 60" special.

It's like going to coffee shop and asking for a Coke.
