As mentioned, The Tick is creator owned so it would need a bit of outside licensing to get him back.Better yet, since Disney owns FOX, lets bring back The Tick! They could have a parade featuring Captain Liberty and American Maid.
I’ve never understood the harbor Blvd entrance. It’s such an unmagical way to arrive.
Watching that video, I was concerned that Liberace's face would break if he smiled too big.That video clip of Liberace appearing on The Red Skelton Show circa 1968 was playing on a huge video screen at a gay bar for gentlemen of a certain age, ahem, in Palm Springs last winter... and I was mesmerized!
You can tell it's the Skelton show because they always had that big rotating stage they used for all their musical production numbers. I'm pretty sure that show was done at Television City, which would have had massive/swanky facilities like that.
Liberace was truly a national treasure. He reminds me that we are a nation of great and fabulous people, and we deserve to celebrate ourselves in a really big way next year! Don't screw this one up, Potrock!
Talk about cringe. How about no!That's another thing we need to bring back for the 250th.... big, cheesy, Made For TV smiles you can see from the last row!
Smile, kids, it's the Semiquincentennial!
And when was the last time they actually performed in any venue especially Disneyland? 1970 something? Times change my friend, what was once considered light and fun are now considered cringe by the masses.The Kids Of The Kingdom would now like to speak to you, backstage. You should probably bring something sharp to defend yourself with, they're tougher than they look.
I'm afraid you aren't getting it.
There's a reason why Disneyland makes a mint on its nostalgia private parties for various decades, and why 1970's cheesy schmaltz like The Village People just performed at a Presidential Inaugural Ball (If you had tried to tell someone in 1978 that would happen, and the President would even dance to them, they would think you were on drugs. Heavy 1970's drugs.)
People love nostalgia. People love schmaltz. Do it correctly, and they go crazy over it. I say... Bring back The Kids Of The Kingdom for the 250th!!! And put them in their red-white-and-blue matching sweater sets!
One thing that probably should be left in the history books is all those giant bobble-head people Disneyland had in its America On Parade parade, er... parade? Those don't really translate well to the 21st century, and even looked weird back then.
There's definitely a chance to boost and redecorate the Disneyland entrance points on Harbor Blvd. and the parking structures. If they can do this in '76 to the sign....
Then there's no good reason why this has to look so small and underwhelming...
Now THAT would be a reason to celebrate indeed!
It will probably be Pixarfest again with this ugly bunting. It takes time to fire people and right the ship.Agreed. Pro-American patriotism is literally one of the main reasons for the park....
"Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that created America!" -Walt Disney, July 17th, 1955
With so many companies now ditching their DEI programs and going back to basics, I have faith that Disney has also realized they need to lean back into the happy patriotism that was always infused throughout Disneyland. "Mickey Avenue" may be needed to get past the government censors in Communist China, but in this country it needs to stay "Main Street USA" and "Liberty Square". And bring back all the American flags and bunting every summer again!
I can't wait to see what the decor package is like for Disneyland's 2026 Summer season. Will they go a modern/snazzy red-white-and-blue design scheme, or will they go a more traditional early Americana design scheme?

I bet Knotts will knock it out of the park (so to speak) for the 250th. They'll go full Americana nostalgia.
Yes. Knotts will be the place to be for 250th. I bet even Legoland will be decked out with new patriotic figures. I wonder what Universal would do?
