Disneyland Update: Party's Over, Here Comes Halloween, DL Hotel signs, and more! - Page 9

In other post-50 news .... Julie Andrews' Remember spiels have been edited to remove any indication of Disneyland's 50th Anniversary (and any opportunity to insert a resounding ONE where appropriate).

Instead of "fifty years ago," she now says, "In 1955." And at the show's conclusion, Julie says "Today, Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom..." instead of "Fifty years later..."

Turns out our last "perfect" fireworks was not only the last with bling, it was the last with 50th references by Julie Andrews. I'm really glad we got our ONEs down better than we did on the 51st birthday.

But, hmmm, bothering to edit the spiels leaves me with a sneaking suspicion that Remember will be back in 2007, and perhaps will be the Park's de facto fireworks show for a long, long time to come. Clearly, they've never had anything better (or that registered such levels of guest approval and attendance). And I'm not alone in believing they don't have it in them to top it any time soon.

Well, surely they will find a way to at least match it with a different theme, if not top it eventually. It could be a few years though. It's strange because more and more of the sound bites are a thing of the past, it really does become "Remember" (actually changing it to "Remember?")

I saw the show last night from the Main Street Station. It was great to see it from there, and be able to see all of the fireworks at one time. In front of the castle you only see where your eyes are pointed. And a few weeks ago I saw the first half at IASW before they got cancelled due to high winds aloft. That's also a great and different experience!

The Small World experience, where I saw them last night at the far north end of the park while RStar was watching from the far south, is always a tremendous hit with the crowds there - because the fireworks are so damn awesome from so close-up.

But it was a shocker to hear Julie all different and, in one case, rather sloppily edited. I was sooo glad we had a Last Perfect Fireworks meet last week, because it really was the final 50th Anniversary Edition after all.

yes, Remember, Dreams Come True and Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams will both continue following the holidays.

I'm so happy we got to scream our ONE's one last time

The last perfect fireworks meet was indeed perfect.

Thanks for posting the de-bling photos!

On a side note, I am so down for some Quizno's!

I thought that was you over there! I waved from the platform, but I guess you didn't see me.

RStar, next time shout my name real loud.

My favorite thing about Remember from the station platform is how cool the lasers look during the Tomorrowland segment.

ML: How is Disney clearing it with the SCAQMD to keep running Remember ad infinitum?

Either that, or he was avoiding you/

Could be...

Once I was about 10 feet from him as we were passing by on Matterhorn way. I yelled "Steve!" and he kept on trucking. Of course he was also engrossed in companionship in a noisy theme park at the time..........

It will not be "nightly", is seasonal (spring break, summer) and two nights a week most of the year... plus they get "credits" every time it is cancelled "due to wind conditions high above the Magic Kingdom", and credits for all the CM's that carpool and use public transportation. it adds up.
