This is what I posted on another thread about the celebration.

I have pictures of the Happiest Celebration at MK today and some pictures of the hang gliders on the grass by the Land.

I got to meet the Imagineer Mark that invented Soarin at Epcot. It was the high point of my day. Soarin is my favorite ride.

For a Disney geek like me today was awesome. The simulcast with the other Disney parks was great. That is what you can see in some of the pictures. Billy from WDW was the MC along with Wayne Brady. Diana DeGarmo(sp) and some other Broadway stars sang. They had a lot of the characters on stage. They had invited guests with Golden Mickey ears and at the end of the song they threw up their hats. They also had lots of CM's come out as the fireworks started.

In CA. they had Robert Iger, Michael Eisner, Art Linkletter. They had a great video presentation from all the parks. It brought a tear to many peoples eyes.

It is a day I won't soon forget. If I didn't get enough pictures I apologize. Today was a day I just wanted to experience the magic.

I love Walt Disney and the vision he had. The parks and CM's were awesome today!!!

This is what we got to see on the big screen at MK. When they talked about the different parks the image of the castle changed on the mirror. There is also a section that rotates with the different locations of the castles.

The simulcast switched entertainment when they sang the final song. I liked the WDW performers better than Christina.

"When You Wish Upon A Star" is my favorite Disney song of all time, and I think she really botched it. She tried to turn it into r&b, which didn't do it justice, imo. What was the last song at WDW?

It was the same song sung by several people. It was a great performance. Very moving.

Christina changed the mood of the song.
