There will be lots of celebrating and stuff on 7/17. Wish I could be there.

I am told that they *will* be doing something on 7/17 but obviously the real hype is for the media event. They are still finalizing *what* will be done on 7/17 but don't expect it to be anything big. I imagine, among other things, they'll probably announce Nemo and Monsters then.
Although I get the whole 05/05/05 thing, I couldn't imagine *not* being there on 7/17. And judging by the fact that *all* DLR hotels are completely sold out that week, apparently others agree
I'm just happy I got a room at Grand Calif!

I was lucky enough to get my wife to agree to a trip cross-country for DL's official birthday. I also happened to get a room from the 18th-20th on property (DLH), for the 17th I will have to stay out in town, but at least I will be in the parks on that magical day. So I am feeling pretty good right now.
It is funny I grew up next to DL always wanting to go to WDW, and now I am leaving WDW to go to DL.

Hey, that's great, congratulations! I'm sure you'll have a great time. As one born and raised in SoCal, growing up on Disneyland, Disneyland is my home. I love WDW and go every chance I get, and I've been lucky to be able to see the other Disney parks as well, but Disneyland will always be special to me. Don't expect Disney World, it isn't. There's no way we can compete with the space. But Disneyland has charms inherent in being smaller. Look at it in terms of how much we've learned since Disneyland opened, look at it in terms of some of the greatest attractions in the Disney empire started at Disneyland, obviously look at the historical context. Unfortunately, you won't be able to fully appreciate the frustration Walt felt over Anaheim that spurred his interest in creating Disney World as the "Commercial Recreation Area" is SO much more visually appealing after the expansion than it used to be.
We'll be curious to hear your thoughts. Make sure you take time to explore the Resort's (and Disneyland's) nooks and crannies and really try to get a sense of the history. There's a lot of stories in those orange groves!
Oh yes, and PLEASE judge DCA for yourself. We all know the rep it gets on most Disney sites, but again, try to be objective. Is it everything the Imagineers could have dreamed up, no. Is it of the caliber of DisneySea, no. But I do think DCA has some great theming, more attractions than people give it credit for (especially considering the masses probably haven't been to both WDW and DLR), and a lot of potential for growth. Disney-MGM's prospects concern me. And Walt Disney Studios Paris.... don't get me started.
