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

[Sage of Time]

Looks a lot more shiny now, at least.

From what I can see, the tiles are made of dull mirrors, so that makes sense.

Is the plan still to re-do some of the Fantasyland dark rides with new animatronics or was that just false info I heard? If true does anyone have any details yet as to what rides and what type of animatronics?

Peter Pan is currently down for refurb, so that might happen.

Great video, thank you so much!

Lots of stuff here for the ladies, obviously.

The one thing I noticed in the video is the spokeslady was wearing a nice looking dark blue nametag with a jewelly thing on the top. Are those the new 60th nametags?!?

 

[Sage of Time]

Merch looks fairly uninspired and boring- just glittery and shiny stuff. If there's vintage pieces like they had for the 50th and the Tiki Room's 50th, wake me up. This YOAMD II stuff put me to sleep.

And @TP2000- I think that's a special services/award nametag? I don't think DL is getting new tags anytime soon.

This nametags are awarded to recipients of The Walt Disney Legacy Awards, a Disney Parks world wide recognition program.

I hope the new 60th name tags look nice, can't wait to see them.

The new tags are anything but nice.

Have you seen them? What do they look like?

The flags have been switched, as well as a few minor differences:

Thought this was interesting but Disneyland is handing out surveys that have possible future attractions on them.

Huh, interesting find! The only one I have never seen mentioned is Willie's water rescue.. Steamboat Willie is the only thing I can think of.

EEEWWWWW, Star Wars Land. Dear God, no.

EEEWWWWW, Star Wars Land. Dear God, no.

I feel the same way. I'm also not liking the new name for Soarin, i had hoped that the "horizon" bit would be left for Epcot only. Keep it California themed please!

Yes! I will be so sad if Soarin' Over California is taken away from us. And I see Rockin' Roller Coaster on there...UGH. I don't like clones.

 

[phillip sugarman]

Looks like the Marvel themed Rockin Roller Coaster is much more than a rumor now.

Yeah, but in this case it's probably the same ride but a completely different overlay. As for Soarin, I would have preferred it maintain the CA theme but with all new or updated scenes.

I will likely get at shirt and maybe a sweatshirt or hat. Would be nice if they did new wall sized park maps do both DL and DCA too.
