55 and 50 Party - Disneyland and Zlick!

TWO BIRTHDAYS, BOTH ALIKE IN AWESOMENESS

It’s a July bursting with Fifties.

First - - - DISNEYLAND ‘55 - A fantastically coincidental bit of Fateful Timing.
This year, the Happiest Place on Earth turns 55 years old BECAUSE it was created in ‘55!!

Boggles the Mind, Stirs the Senses. Come and Party with Us to Celebrate the Strange.

On the eve of Disneyland’s 55th Birthday, the LoT of you are invited to join our traditional Night-Before blow-out at the Disneyland Hotel on Friday, the 16th of July, 2010.

But not just any blow-out. We’re pulling out all the stops and having this year’s party in the famous, swankadelic Wrather Suite - the decadent penthouse of the Marina Tower that we’ve drooled over and dreamed about since this series of parties started at the hotel 25 years ago!

Named for Jack Wrather, the creator and long-time owner of the Disneyland Hotel, the suite was long closed to the public because it was Jack and Bonita Wrather’s home-away-from-home once the Marina Tower of the hotel was built in the early 1970’s. And it’s a ‘70’s masterpiece of hipster style and groovy chic. Come check it out!!

Then - there’s also the small matter of 50 YEARS OF ZLICKERY

A child of the 60’s, a boy of the 70’s, a drugster of the 80’s, a dad in the 90’s, and a Man for the New Millennium Right Now!

That’s right, bitches - it’s Steve Zlick’s 50th Birthday!!

ok, technically speaking, my birthday is two weeks earlier, on the 2nd. But why throw two incredible parties when we can combine-athon into one overwhelmingly spectacular party of magnificence?!?!

So that’s just what we’ve done. A once-in-a-lifetime night of celebrating in the Disneyland Hotel’s legendary Wrather Suite - The Swankiest Place on Earth!

Friday, July 16, 2010 - starting at 8:00 pm and ending way later. Top floor of the Magic Tower (formerly the Marina Tower) (soon to be the Fantasy Tower) - or just ask for the Presidential Suite (formerly the Marina Suite) (formerly the Wrather Suite).

Confused? Ha, and the party hasn’t even started!

I hope you all have fun. I can't even attend the 10th Anniversary MousePlanet stuff so I won't be any closer than 400 miles.

But am I missing something? I don't understand this part:

Is that just humor or do you see something odd in it? Almost everything that has a start date will eventually have that happen. In 10 years you'll celerate your 60th birthday because you were born in '60 in 2048 I'll celebrate my 74th birthday because I was born in '74. In 3810 Disneyland will be 1,955 years old because it was opened in 1955.

This probably looks like party pooping but I don't intend it to be, I'm just feeling like something went over my head.

innerSpaceman · 06-03-2010, 11:56 AM

Oh, Alex - it's just my usual Zlick hyperbole!

It's not really odd, insomuch as unique. But sometimes the turn of a phrase means not using the most perfectly descriptive English language wording available.

And apart from the hoopla that generally surrounds the "big" numbers that are societally acceptable from the shared calendar (the recent 50th comes to mind) ... Disneyland has, as far as I know, only two oddities of number anniversaries coincident to numbers meaningfully related to Disneyland.

The 33rd Birthday was in 1988, and we celebrated the quirkiness with a dinner at Club 33. After 55, I don't know of any number that will have this nerdy quirk. (Well, I guess I just won't be around in 3810.)

This is the kind of anniversary that's for the Disneyland geeks and not necessarily the masses. The company has some developed cool artwork for merchandise related to this quirk, but I assume all promotion this summer is going to be for Summer LessFailtastic (we hope) and Please Save DCA World of Color.

This is going to be EPIC! I can't wait!!!

Alex · 06-03-2010, 12:30 PM

That's fine, I got it then. I just wasn't sure if I was overlooking some deeper numerological connection.

Gemini Cricket · 06-03-2010, 12:39 PM

This is going to be super fantastic! I wish I could be there for it.

They make these things called airplanes that can bring you places, including California. You can pay money and they give ticket to get on one that goes where you want to go. Then you go to this place called the airport and get on the airplane. Then when the plane lands you are in California and you have some of your friends pick you up and take you to the party!

Ugh, Brad the consummate actor is in a show during that time period. A little facebook birdie told me, though, that he's part of a 37-strong ensemble cast and that no one gets more than a minute of stage time and that he's bored in this particular production.

Maybe if we put on a show at the party and offer him a plum role, he can leave the lame show for a better offer. He can play Paul Pressler in the Disneyland melodrama we will somehow come up with!!
