I went to DISNEYLAND!

[Not Afraid]

Day 2 and the excitement is still in the air! Merchandise was flying out the doors. Everything look great. Remember was as wonderful as the night before and the Parade is just great. Expecially amazing is Ursula and Simba - but it all looks great. Tiki CMs have new Hawaiian Shirts - no more JC costumes. We had the same CM on JC who did a GREAT Hippo joke again. There's still more for us to see - after 2 days! I need to see all of the golden ride vehicles. I've only seen a few and ridden only one (JC).

The Magic is back!

Same sentiments here! Having spent a rare, part of the last "four" days at the Disneyland Resort (DCA on May 4th still counts), the "I can't wait to go back and still see new stuff" feeling is there.

Wow! Who would have thought that Annual Passholders and Disney fanatics like us would feel this excited about Disneyland again? Maybe it really is a "homecoming," and we're all coming home to the freshness, energy and wow-factor of the Disneyland we remember. It's almost like we're forgiving Disneyland management for "construction-wall city" and "covered-up castle" from the last few years.

If Tomorrowland ever receives all it deserves (Space Mountain, submarines, and other rumors/speculations/high-hopes like new PeopleMover, new Star Tours, etc.), maybe then all the ills of recent years will be forgotten.
