Disneyland 70th speculations and news

[KPeterso]

Mom is most important. I told TX911 maybe I can make for the 75th and I hope they go all out!

I will be planning on 75 (but also 71, 72, 73, and 74 too).

Happy Birthday Disneyland! And thank you Walt for your imagination, vision, and perseverance.

I hope to be there to celebrate in person one day. For everyone there today, I hope you have a blast. And have a little extra fun for those of us at home!

Somewhat sad (FOMO) for not being there, but very happy that they are doing a special day for guests at the park today!!

Lesson learned from the 50th in WDW…

Beautiful day!

Disney+ has some fun 70th content on the Disney portion of the app with ride POVs.

Happy Birthday to my happy place!! I sure wish I could have been there. It's the first anniversary I've missed in many years. Life just had other plans for me this year.

Still trying to decide if I am going to the parks during the 70th. But I am celebrating today at work with music from & inspired by Disney / Disneyland.

Happy Birthday Disneyland! So many great memories at Disneyland with my late parents and all my memories on trips with family and friends!! And my solo trips! Thank you Walt Disney for your park!

Looking forward to the future of Disneyland!

Here's an idea of how many people it takes to keep the park running! I don't know whether this crowd includes the DCA CMs; since that park opens later, many of them probably could have been over at DL for the NYSE event. And I realize that the parks are probably staffed to the max today.

Happy Birthday, Disneyland!! You are 6 months older than I, so I hope to visit you on MY 70th! I've been visiting you since I was a year old, and plan to keep visiting until it's no longer possible.

I was just thinking about how much I've loved Disney all my life. I remember watching Wonderful World Of Disney every week when I was little and always especially loving Pluto and Donald Duck. The first movie I ever saw in a theater was Snow White and I was so scared of the witch LOL. I used to collect those Disney stickers that came in loaves of Wonder Bread and it was so fun to find a character I loved in there. I had some family friends who went to World in the 70s and they gave me one of those giant pencils that were all the rage back then and a brochure. It seemed so magical! It became my dream to go to Disneyland.

I never went to World but when I moved to CA I finally made it to Disneyland. It was more magical than I could have imagined. That first day I knew nothing about the parks and as I walked down Main Street I had to sit down on the curb because I was just overwhelmed with emotion. I couldn't believe I was actually there! By the second visit I learned of the existence of Annual Passports and saved up around $99 to get a Socal pass.

When I lived in LA I went once or twice a week for years. I sure miss those days!

Happy Birthday to Disneyland, and thank you Walt for your vision and imagination!

PS. It's really fun having Disboards to share my Disneyland obsession with. I used to go on another board for years and only came here to read posts. When the parks shut down in 2020 I joined because I wanted to talk about Disneyland but I also thought you guys might have insider information about when it would reopen lol. Thanks for all the planning help over the years!

Agreed, I love DISboards! Appreciate all of you. I need an outlet to blab about Disneyland with other people, otherwise I may drive the other people in my life crazy

Was a great morning. Josh D’Amaro & Bob Iger spoke, opening ceremony with train arrival & monorail stopped on rail out front. Gates opened & cast members from all departments lined Main Street end to end.

It was awesome walking down main street with al the CM's clapping.

Ok., just witnessed Walt Disney-A Magical Life. Looks so amazingly better with natural eyesight than any online look. He looked good and presentation well worth it.

So awesome that they had all those characters on the train! Then the band started playing the music to Fantasmic and I lost it, LOL
How cool that you were there in person!

Happy birthday Disneyland! I was just there last week and already miss it! Even though I'm at WDW now, I had to take a break and go to the resort to take in/join the celebration online.

Thank you, Walt Disney, for dreaming big, ignoring the nay-sayers, and creating something so wonderful.
