Leap Day at Disneyland

[innerSpaceman]

They did very little for the very first one, for the 25th birthday. But that's when I noticed a comradery and party atmosphere that I'd never experienced at Disneyland before, and very rarely since. As GD said, there was something about being at Disneyland in an other-worldly and unique state - and everyone was like best friends forever with everyone else. It was so bizarre and amazing.


I have to say, though, that if the Park weren't near deserted at 4 in the morning, I'm not sure what would make it seem otherworldly and unique. None of the other four overnights were anything like last night's in terms of crowds, from what I've heard - not even the 30th, which was the biggest ticket item of them all and had long entry lines and big crowds till after 3 am.


Being that I missed last night, I've been thinking a lot about that radtacular overnight in 1985. Twenty-seven years later and I'm beginning to think there will never be anything that spectacular at Disneyland ever again - well maybe for the 100th birthday, but I don't think I'll be around for that one. Le sigh.


Anyway, I'm sad I missed this one. But knowing friends were having a ball really put a smile on my face last night, even if I couldn't be there myself.
