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

[Marc Gil]

Concept for castle decor!

I like it. I don't love it.

I like how they took a more simpler approach to it rather than Disneyland's 50th when they plopped those gaudy crowns all over the turrets. I feel like it would look even better if there wasn't any of those diamond beads on the main tower.

I like simple.

I'm waiting to see it in person. Sometime things just don't translate.

You do realize those crowns had specific meanings to them right?

I'm surprised someone still remembers that! I even bought the Kim Irvine dessert plate set, one of my rare Disney souvenir purchases.

Agree.
Nice to see the concept design, but the real test is always how it 'looks in the field'.

Nice !!
Thank you for sharing that.
I was aware of the five crowns representing the 'five decades' of Disneyland's exsistance, but did not realize the crowns were all designed to represent certain time periods and Attractions.

VERY nice touch.
Love that IJA made it to a 'tiara' ..!

Indy is the modern crown jewel of Disneyland.

And next week I'll finally ride it

That it is indeed , raven.
The last major E-ticket built there...and a awesome one at that!

 

[Figments Friend]

And next week I'll finally ride it

Remember Mike - NO Fastpassing it that first time !
You MUST experience the FULL QUEUE experience first...!

I'll try to get to the park early enough to be first in line. Full queue + minimal wait

Make sure to pull the bamboo pole when you get to the spear skulls room in the queue. It's on the left side. Pull it hard.

Actually, I'm pretty sure FastPass goes through the regular indoor queue now. At least that's how it was in July. It just bypasses the outdoor part. Someone on here (I think it was you @Figments Friend) told us to not do FastPass. We waited in the scorching heat for 45 minutes (it was crazy), thinking that it was worth it because we got to see the amazing queue. But, the FP goes through the main queue, so... yeah.

I think I remember someone said that single rider is what skips everything. I definitely won't be doing that.

What..?
Well that is news to me then. Every time i have ever done FP or Single Rider for IJA they have always routed people through the exit of the Attraction, completely bypassing most of the indoor queue.
Apologies then, friend.
Apparently in the busier Summer months they keep FPers in the main line.
I always visit off-season, so perhaps that is why the route is different.

Still, i highly recommend doing the full queue for one's first ride experience. There is plenty of eye candy to keep one entertained.
If you need some examples, check out some of my posts in my 'Tony Baxter Tour of Disneyland - a Venture' thread.

Yep, that's correct. (I believe, but don't quote me on that).

Not a problem, it was good... bonding time with my family.

Also, ask for the front row. It's great because there's no heads blocking your full view.

Should we maybe have a mod lock this thread and move all of the discussion over to the new one?

Oh, and PS: Sorry for the 4 posts in a row.

Thanks for the tip
