Official 50th trip reports and tidbits

Impossible to even begin processing the entire thing into a coherent report.

Quite simply, despite Disney's best efforts to make the 50th well run but bland, I had the most incredible time in the park possible. And a huge thanks goes out to NA, €, :ism:, my lovely wife, 70+ people at the carousel, every CM, and every single other person I talked to for even a moment, or even didn't talk to and was just there. Just...wow.

as i think "they" blew their wad on May 4/5th, there wasn't much to anticipate for the 17th. i think i would have had a fairly boring time, if it weren't for finding some of the world's geekiest folks camped out in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

What a wonderful feeling to have such a warm "welcome home" from you guys.
THAT made the 50th absolutely ROCK for me...and a memory for a lifetime.

I have already put in my Authorized Day Off Request for July 17, 2030, for Disneyland's Diamond Jubilee.

The only thing that will keep me off the Carrousel that year will be my mandatory MainGate Diamond distribution duty! or Alzheimers.

Totally agree. I found myself the very next day wishing that Sunday was the last day for the fireworks and all the decorations.

I really wish there was something unique and special for the day. Ears and cupcakes, while a nice small touch, just didn't cut it for me as making the day extraordinary. And while I didn't let that prevent me from having the most amazing time thanks to the people I spent it with, I just can't help but imagine a conversation years down the road, "Hey, you were at the 50th too? Wow, remember, ummmmmm, Arnold getting a motorcycle?!"
