Preparing for the 60th

[€uroMeinke]

So next year will be Disneyland's 60th birthday and I'm planning to be there. Actually I'm thinking this is the year to regain my APness which could happen anytime between now and the end of April (when I expect the next Ticketting price hikes). So who else is planning on coming back?

Also, for those of you who keep going, what are some of
The new things I've missed the past two years that I won't want to miss? Any great plans the parks have in the works for this mile stone year?

We will be renewing our passes shortly it seems.

Fantasmic is going to a fastpass/dinner system like World of Color. It starts on the 12th so no idea yet how it's really going to work.

Any tips for viewing the new Fireworks?

We plan on getting passes again when we get back to the west coast.

I am not sure if I will be down there for the anniversary day until I hear what the park plans are. I will likely renew my pass, but haven't decided yet. It expires in January.

Steve's new show won't debut until Memorial Day. Best viewing is Main Street, near the photo shop.

Most of the new stuff post Cars Land & Buena Vista Street will debut mid May.

I think the new fireworks show will now premiere on May 22, since they made a big deal of saying so.

It seems also that our go-to spot of the rope-line near Coke Corner will be the overall best spot, as projection mapping on the Castle and on Main Street Buildings appears to be a big part of the show. There will also be projection mapping in other areas of the Park, so it seems they are really trying to avoid a repeat of You Must Be At The Castle that was a traffic nightmare for "Remember."

That said, just like with "Remember," it seems there will be several spots around the Park that are great for seeing "Forever," but I suspect when all is seen and done, the overall best spot will be our Main Street standard.

Looks to me like you'd miss the building mapping if you're at Coke Corner. It seems to me about half way up Main Street would be better.

AP renewed

Halfway down Main Street is lame for fireworks. It will simply be sensurround and you'll have to spin a bit to enjoy the show CircleVision style. :D

I'll be out to see the show Sept 4th. Me and a few close friends have booked the park for a private party (http://www.rundisney.com/disneyland-half-marathon/#anniversary-party) that night.

I'm hoping you guys will have worked out all these "where to stand" issues before then. As always, I'm counting on you!
