When the subs open in the summer there are going to be a fair number of people who visit the park and are unaware that they were ever gone.

I'm seconding this post. Seems every time I talk to a total muggle they ask me about the skyway or something that's been gone at least 10 years. It's always "is that really gone? I heard it was gone. I didn't believe it. I thought it was just down for the day when I was last there." These are the people that go to Disneyland, get in the first line they see, and are pleasantly surprised when they end up on a ride.

For many people that don't have kids, Disneyland is about distant childhood memories, so the conversation ends up like that old Chris Farley bit: "Oh, you like Disneyland? Hey, do you remember that theater with the movie all around you? Do you go on that? That was awesome."
