I've never been to any Disney park other than WDW (though I have been there quite a few times). This year I was planning to make my first non-WDW trek... California to see Disneyland for the first time during its 50th anniversary.
However, I'm now heavily considering traveling to England this summer for a month (it will be my first time outside of the country) and taking a train to DLP for a few days while I'm there. This might mean that I have to call off the DL and WDW trips I had planned for '05. But while I'm in Europe, why not take advantage of what I otherwise may never see (before it closes, God forbid.)
Finding info on DLP has proved a bit more challenging than for the American parks. I've paid it much attention, other than just thinking "I'd like to visit it some day." Now I'm on a quest... even if I end up not going, I'd like to learn more. Thanks to this forum, I'm already on my way... WDWMagic never fails! I also ordered The Unofficial Guide to DLP Volume 2 (which appears to be OOP... is it the most recent edition? It's the only one I could find).
My question is, how big of a deal will the 50th Anniversary be at DLP? I know it's supposed to be a global celebration, but I'm wondering just how much hoop-la there will be.
Sadly, it looks like the way-cool Space Mtn. will be closed this summer. But if DLP is still open years down the road, I'm sure I'll go back (I WILL visit every Disney theme park and cruise line at some point :lol.
Anyways, I'm very excited! Thanks for all the info this forum brings!
