Disneyland's 60th Birthday: Rumors, Speculation and News

[Marc Gil]

After seeing Disneyland After Dark again last night, it got me thinking that they should definitely consider bringing swing dancing back to the Plaza Gardens.

That's one dance party I wouldn't mind participating in. La Raspa? HECK YES !

They really need to bring some good old fashioned entertainment back to Disneyland.

They still do swing dancing. It is in the same space, but the stage looks different now

Yes! But is it really still there? This bulletin is from last year.

I remember seeing it going on last year, and boy it was a hoot!

Swing dancing is seasonal now, I believe.

Along with swing dancing at the Plaza Gardens, they should totally have nighttime jazz cruises on the Mark Twain.

Gosh... After seeing Disneyland After Dark, I just want to hop on a plane straight to Anaheim.

I've been saying they need to bring back the Mark Twain jazz band for years now. There are rumors of the 60th being nostalgia-themed. If true, who know, maybe they'll bring the band back.

Hopefully, but until then, fingers crossed, like this fine young man:

As an East Coaster I really need details so I can possibly attend! Got to save up!

We know what they're going to do, we just don't know when they'll formally announce and when the celebration starts.

Or how long.

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

Or how long.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't a 15 or 18 month celebration; that seems to be the MO. I'd guess that it would start in May 2015 and go through fall 2016, but that's pure speculation.

 

[Travel Junkie]

^^^ Yeah it wouldn't surprise me to see it extend well into 2016 to try and take some of the sting out of the Potter opening in Hollywood, followed by new attractions in 17 or 18.

The logo looks nice.
Incorporating the gems into a design is a nice touch.

I thought the 50th was rather spectacular, in regards to decor and overall themed marketing.....this looks like it will be even classier.

I'll def be visiting Disneyland again next year. Par-tay!

I like the D diamond logo, but as for the other...what's with all the bubbles?

I think they're supposed to be circular diamonds.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this thread before (probs). But after seeing this new concept art for Hong Kong's "Paint the Night" Parade, I'm praying they do in fact bring it to Disneyland! It looks absolutely incredible!!

 

[TP2000]

Wow! Thank you so much @ddd8170 ! That art is a great find!

It's been rumored that Disneyland would get a clone of this parade from Hong Kong. And seeing how 99.95% or more of Disneyland visitors would never visit Hong Kong Disneyland, that would be a great move in my opinion. I'm sure there would be a few tweaks for American audiences or for Disneyland references, but this shows great promise as a 21st century night parade without dredging up that old chicken-wire-and-Christmas-lights relic from the Richard Nixon era.

(Sorry to any MSEP fans who may have been harmed by the creation of this post.)

I'm down with everything but the Cars unit. Bleck.

Disneyland's new night parade is in fact a clone/rip-off of that parade.

Why do you use the word "rip-off"?

 

[lazyboy97o]

Why do you use the word "rip-off"?

I would not be surprised if the Disneyland Resort is able to avoid some design costs because they have been paid by Hong Kong Disneyland.
