Hold on! What about the extensive thematic overlay when it was changed to Goofy’s Sky School? I barely recognized it!You’re welcome
It was the exact same ride experience, but without the immersiveness of the rotating chickens.
It was also still Presented by Alamo, but in 2016 that sponsorship apparently moved over to Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters, Presented by Alamo.

Alice in Wonderland got an extensive refurb with new projections and scenes in 2014 followed by Matterhorn, Peter Pan and The Haunted Mansion in 2015. Also don’t forget Frozen show and Soarin the World in 2016 along with events like Tron and Alice in Wonderland in DCA in various years

It was for me because it was my first visit back! Then I returned again last November and am planning another visit in February. I somehow became a Disneyland person during this decade.

I went to Disneyland for the first time on Wednesday August 9th, 2017.
I was changed in 11 short hours. The park was immaculate. The entertainment was superb. I enjoyed the Main Street Electrical Parade, and adored Fantasmic.
Fantasmic was the only reason I wanted to visit Disneyland, after YouTube recommended a video of the refreshed production. I guess YouTube really does work as a marketing device. I couldn't believe the scale and sincerity of the production, how environmental it was and narratively classic. I work on Broadway productions, so I was shocked to see what this "theme park" was capable of. I booked a ticket to California the very next day.
I don't even have words to illustrate how moved I was by the whole Disneyland production. I teared up walking down Main Street with my mother. I appreciate beauty, and never before was I submerged in so much of it. I couldn't even speak much for the next day or two. I kept replaying my one day at Disneyland in my mind over and over. I think I fell in love!
I returned in end of May 2018 to experience California Adventure and Disneyland. It was really a sad trip. I can't express how garish and ill fitting the Pixar bull**** was at Disneyland. It was like night and day, beauty replaced by neon yellow bunting and plastic emotions. Pirates was down, Pixar Pier was yet to open, Bugs Land was boarded up... I really couldn't believe that late May was a period of disarray (I soon found out that Summer really does mean late late June and Disneyland loves refurbishments).
Luckily, Halloween 2018 was my third visit. All was well again, as Halloween is a delicious season.
I have since tried with all my might to forget about @realBobChapek 's Pixar Fest.
My fourth visit was for a whole six days for Star Wars! I don't think I'll ever again experience such a relaxing trip. Empty park, but fully staffed. So efficient and peaceful. An absolute dream. Galaxy's Edge was a solid disappointment, but I still had fun.
I love the Blue Milk.
2010s was the decade I found my place in the world, and my bank account will never be the same!!

Great thread! For me, this decade has been personal. In 2012, when my daughter was about 8 months old, I visited the parks on a "girls only trip" with my Disney buddy. She and I had a good run in the 2000s of annual trips (sometimes twice a year). But, this was our "last harrah" as I knew that as a new mom, future trips would be more family oriented. Highlights included: enjoying the live band and contortionist caterpillar at the Mad T Party, getting our drink on at Trader Sam's followed by driving under the influence on Autopia, drinks and snacks at the Carthay, and being surprised by Goofy as he snuck up on us in the lobby of the DL Hotel while we were geeking out looking at the big display of Disney stuff. It was a fun trip.
2014 marked my daughter's first trip to the parks. She was almost 3 and we visited with my parents. We all had a fabulous time, despite her being completely terrified of the characters. Sadly, this likely marked the last trip to the parks for my parents. Age and healthy have likely made future trips not possible.
In the rest of the decade, I've been fortunate to have almost yearly trips with my husband and daughter. It's been an absolute joy to watch her grow. Each year means a new ride that she's tall enough to ride (or no longer afraid of). From her first ride on California Screamin' (4x in a row, because she couldn't get enough of it) to a very memorable ride on King Arthur's Carousel sitting next to Bert (she talked his ear off the entire time!), it's been a blast.
Looking forward to making new memories in the next decade.
Happy New Year everyone! <3

I wonder if they would have brought it back for 80s night if that recent documentary didn’t come out? How can you have an 80s night at Disneyland with no Captain EO or Star Tours 1.0 ?

This is just so sweet to read. The harsh realities of growing up, of passing time, and of new life...
Disneyland really is that rock that connects shared memories both of yesterday and today. A place to enjoy life.
Best wishes to your family and friends this next decade at Disneyland!

I really hope no one takes that one sided tabloid seriously anymore, with all of the new information and discrepancies that have come out since it's release.
As much fun as it'd be to have a proper '80s night- original Star Tours, EO, heck- even stuff like Space Mountain with no music or something, that'd require Disney to actually put effort into the event. Which is something I don't see happening.

Honestly at this point I'd settle for Honey I Shrunk the Audience, just to get rid of "High School Musical The Musical The Series" playing in that theater.

Well that would be 90s night but I don’t disagree.

I can’t take these events seriously until they do something more than rare characters, photo spots and special food.

I’d rather they just put the first 15 minutes of TROS in there. Or heck put the whole movie.

Agree to disagree, but I throughly enjoy a day at the parks with an audience of smartly dressed people.
It’s better than seeing people’s hang out of their shorts, and overweight people who need to accept they’re not a small or medium anymore.
