Disneyland To Celebrate Milestone With "Happiest Homecoming on Earth"

Beginning May 5, 2005 the 18-month long “The Happiest Celebration on Earth” will
pay tribute to Walt Disney's original dream of Disneyland, the park that
launched an entirely different genre of family entertainment that now spans the
globe, attracting 100 million visitors on three continents every year—and still
growing.

At Disneyland, “The Happiest Celebration on Earth” becomes “The Happiest
Homecoming on Earth,” a unique opportunity for new and returning guests to be
part of an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime milestone event and the Park's
biggest party ever. It's also a chance for the generations of guests who have
been touched by the magic of Disneyland to return and relive and share their
fondest memories of past visits with family and friends.

In addition to announcing the plans for “The Happiest Homecoming on Earth,”
Disney officials also introduced the Honorary Ambassador of the Disneyland 50th
anniversary celebration, legendary Broadway and film star Julie Andrews. “I’m
delighted to be associated with this momentous occasion,” said Andrews. “One
memory I’ll cherish forever is the thrill of seeing Disneyland for the first
time with Walt Disney himself. I have been here many times since with my
children but nothing will ever top that moment. Disneyland was Walt’s gift to
people the world over and I look forward to celebrating this unique national
treasure with everyone who has ever been touched by its magic.

“The Happiest Homecoming on Earth” celebration will take different forms
throughout the Disneyland Resort:

Disneyland Park

Sleeping Beauty Castle will be transformed into a breathtaking focal-point for
“The Happiest Homecoming on Earth” gowned in swaths of richly colored finery,
royal banners, bejeweled with precious stones, decorated in gold and topped by
five regal turret “crowns,” this world famous Disney icon will glow with Disney
enchantment as never before when it debuts on May 5, 2005.

“Walt Disney’s Parade of Dreams” – When it premieres on May 5, 2005, audiences
will be overwhelmed by the musical grandeur and visual spectacle of this all-new
parade, featuring one of the largest casts of Disney Characters and performers
ever assembled.

Remember . . . Dreams Come True” – An all-new fireworks spectacular, the most
elaborate in the history of Disneyland, will premiere May 5, 2005 and will be
highlighted by an incredible musical score, dramatic close proximity
pyrotechnics, lighting effects and a whole new generation of never-before-seen
fireworks.

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters” – In this all-new Tomorrowland attraction opening
in 2005 guests will pilot their very own Star Cruiser through a comical
interactive space mission where they will twist, turn and fire personal laser
cannons for points that will help to protect outer space from the forces of the
evil Emperor Zurg!

Space Mountain” – This Disneyland favorite re-opens in 2005 as a
re-”Imagineered” 21st century thrill attraction, featuring an all-new queue and
Space Port, redesigned rockets, an all-new exhilarating on-board audio
soundtrack and “out of this world” new effects, plus a few new surprises.

Disneyland—The First 50 Years” – Opening on May 5, 2005 this remarkable new
exhibit will showcase 50 years of Disneyland memories through never-before-seen
artwork, models and designs. A highlight of the attraction will be an all-new
film featuring recently discovered film footage, most of which has not been seen
in over 45 years, highlighting the amazing evolution of Disneyland from concept
to reality.
Disney's California Adventure

“Block Party Bash” – Beginning May 5, 2005 guests will suddenly find themselves
surrounded by the rollicking music, excitement and fun of one of five instant
celebrations starring Mickey, Minnie, the Muppets, the crew from “Monsters,
Inc.” Lilo and Stitch, and Flik and Princess Atta from “A Bug's Life.” Featuring
cool surf tunes, pulsating 70s disco, 50s rock and roll and 80s retro, each
unique party will be a celebratory free-for-all with wacky entertainment,
irresistible music and over-the-top surprises!

Beloved by families around the world, Disneyland has welcomed over 500 million
guests since its introduction. Guests hail from all 50 states and virtually
every country on the globe. The Disneyland guest roster over the past five
decades includes a host of dignitaries and celebrities—from seven US Presidents,
countless heads of state, major athletes and stars of film, television, stage
and music.

Art Linkletter, renowned TV personality and host of the live Disneyland opening
day TV broadcast on July 17, 1955, joined in the announcement today and recalled
his first impression of Disneyland. “Walt brought me down here to Anaheim when
Disneyland was under construction and it was nothing but dirt roads and orange
groves, the Santa Ana Freeway wasn't even completed," said Linkletter. “I didn’t
want to spoil Walts enthusiasm but I thought Geez! Who's gonna come down here?
Shows you how much I know!”

Disneyland is synonymous with Disney quality, creativity and magic and its
incredible success through the years has led to the creation of Walt Disney
World Resort in Florida (the number one vacation destination in the world),
Tokyo Disney Resort (Tokyo Disneyland is the most attended Disney theme park in
the world), Disneyland Resort Paris (Disneyland Paris is the most popular
tourist attraction in Europe) and soon Hong Kong.

As always Disney can change anything at anytime. We
thought this was some cool info.

Enjoy
