I went to DISNEYLAND! - Page 2

I am mildly jealous of everyone who has such ready access to DL, but I am consoled by my impending trip for the real Birthday.

If all goes well with my scheming I will be there on the 29th. Hope so!

Well, not to cause more jealosy but, having spent yesterday at the park, I just want to say that it isn't being over-hyped. The place is incredible right now. The cast members we encountered all seemed just a bit friendlier, the park is immaculate, the new firework show is something that cannot be missed, the rides have some nice surprises, and even the parade was top-notch.

Of course, the first thing we did is see the new movie in the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln theater. I recommend checking it out before you walk into the rest of the park. It really sets the mood.

If one were to plan a trip to DL, which day would one most likely encounter large numbers of LoT'ers? Saturdays or Sundays?

Sunday's generally the day.

It was just the way I remember it as a kid.

But have they done anything about the size yet? I know when I was a kid that castle was much larger, in fact the whole park was larger. I don't know exactly when everything was replaced with the smaller versions but I would sure like the old stuff back...

Heehee!

I'll say this much....after being among the largest crowd of Disney enthusiasts I've ever seen, and thrilling to the ultimate Disneyland tribute fireworks show among many of them, it does make everything seem a bit bigger than before. Disneyland is our land, and the "our" means a whole lot of people, from those that built it to the hardcore fans to the casual visitors to the wide-eyed 5 year-olds. The history of the place is now officially legend...it is a part of our culture, our mindset.....and all the care that's been put back into it makes every tiny bit of it loom larger to me than it has had since I got my AP in 1999. It's kind of a paradoxical mix of vindication and humble pie.

This whole thing is doing weird things to us....it's like the ultimate drug for us withdrawal-wracked Disney fans.

Completely agree. The new fireworks show alone is enough to give me drug withdrawal symptoms.

*convulses*

Haha! I remember it was MUCH bigger, too!

BTW, the whiners and the "entitleds" that seemed to be in short supply on the 5th apparently were lurking about.

Here's the result of my discourse with one of them.

HA! Made me laugh SO hard!

BTW, it's not really cool or that great of an idea to post something that was sent in a PM.
