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

[VJ]

So they kept the stream going until like half an hour after the park closed, got to see two of the PTN floats going back up Main Street with no characters on them or anything. Really cool but we probably weren't supposed to see it...

'Backstage Magic'.....heh heh....

Viewing the live webcams now, and my, what a dreary looking morning out there today in Anaheim.
A strange sight to me, seeing grey clouds over Sleeping Beauty Castle.

It's definitely still layered into the new sound if you listen for it.

Wow. That upgrade really was needed. The old animatronic sucks compared to the new one. Can't wait for my next trip to DL whenever that will be. Shooting for 2017 and I may even go to D23.

In this article by the LA Times, Hugo Martin interviewed Tom Staggs and said that when they build new Star Wars attractions, they don't plan to remove any favorite attractions which could mean that Toontown is safe. What are your thoughts on this?

Is Toontown a "favorite attraction"? Because as of a very short time ago, Toontown was definitely slated to be removed. Of course, plans can (and do) change.

It probably should have lol. Also looks like Micechat was wrong about the 60 year anniversary exhibit in Innoventions. The Disney Parks Blog just announced this morning that a new exhibit for the 60 year anniversary was unveiled this morning in the Disney Gallery.

Could that mean Roger Rabbit would stay or move and the rest of Toon Town would go? I would imagine Roger a Rabbit would be the biggest loss of a possible fan favorite. It still has FP too

Guess I'll have to keep checking

 

[TP2000]

Media is reporting that last night at Midnight there was already over 3,000 people camping out, when Disneyland opened this morning at 6:00AM that number had swelled to 15,000 waiting to get in. At Noon Disneyland is already nearing capacity.

Tonight will be crazy.

Well those Anaheimers always did know how to party....

When is Peter Pan supposed to reopen? And did the other dark rides go down yet for their upgrades?

Peter Pan opens in July.

Peter Pan opens in July.

Forgot it was pushed back. I was expecting video sometime around now.

I think just Alice and Peter got upgrades for FL dark rides. Haunted Mansion got the Hat Box Ghosts and Matterhorn got the upgraded Yeti.

So nothing for Toad, Snow, and Pinocchio? Weren't they rumored? Guess not anymore.
