The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

[GiveMeTheMusic]

So will DL go back to rotating Pyro shows and MSEP(PTN now) only in summer?

This is something no one knows yet, although it would be safe to assume that PTN will never be relegated to just summer. Like Fantasmic, after the celebration is over it will likely become weekends only in the off-season and daily during peak times.

Paint the Night needs to go. It results in the closure of the Storybook Land Canal Boats at night. I won't stand for this.

Best of luck with that

I rode them for the first time last month, while I was there for my Disneyland/Expo adventure. I have to say that I enjoyed the quiet solitude of it. It was, in fact, at night, well after the Paint the Night. I want to say it was around 11:00 at night. Almost no line. If they close it for Paint the Night, they must re-open it right afterward.

Anyway, a beautiful, understated ride -- something I like in the Disney parks around the world. Many of these things go unnoticed. But I notice.

I really enjoy the Canel Boats too.
I like to ride early in the day and later in the evening if I can, as the line can get quite long.
Took me several visits before I finally was able to time it right so the line was not too long.

The miniature buildings and quaint themed areas are lovely.
It's a nice relaxing cruise too, exspecially if you manage to ride in a childless boat.

It's one of the new (for me) rides I really enjoyed over there. Very calm and relaxing.

You're kidding right? Every evening parade we've had has resulted in the closure of SL if I remember correctly. It's not going anywhere.

I found a picture online of what Luigi's Rollickin Roadsters looks like right now. It doesn't look like much has been done besides the ride vehicle changes.

Mint Crocoile has pictures on his blog of the Toy Story Emporium window. I believe Aladdin and Frozen are the only ones left to be done.

I was actually freaked out by the Toy Story window when I saw it the other day. It's pretty cool! It was refreshing to see the toys at the proper scale and not weird gigantic versions they always have in the theme parks that we're inexplicably like 3/4 the size of.

The Aladdin window has been completed, no? Could have sworn I saw it last week.

Does anyone prefer the slower version of Live the Magic that plays after the fireworks right after Kiss Goodnight?

 

[Phroobar]

After watching the World of Color and DCA is now closed for the night, they play a special kiss good night song where Walt Disney says it's passed his bed time. Then they play a song were some of the lyrics are "I believe in Disneyland. Come with me to Disneyland. Let's all go to Disneyland."

Is that DCA's way of saying, "Get out! We're closed! You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."? Skip to 4:38

Actually that song is from a musical called Smile. Howard Ashman did the music for it. And Jodi Benson was in the OBC, and Disneyland was her solo.

I guess No Doubt didn't want to license Tragic Kingdom to them.

I will be 63 years old when Disneyland turns 100. Hope to be there as well.

57 here. You old fart you.

I can't believe I didn't just think of this till now. But I wonder if Disney will skip over WDW's 50th in 2021 and Disneyland's 70th in 2025 in favor of doing something for the centennial of the entire company in 2024.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Hey, guys. I have a question that's been bugging me lately. Why did they change the floral Mickey into a Ninja Turtle?

 

[Phroobar]

Mikey rules! Cowabunga!

I'm not expecting a big celebration for the 70th because I expect they'll be more focused on the 75th. What I'm really hoping for is a big celebration in 2028 for Mickey's 100th.
