2005 - Disneyland is CLOSED to the general public for the entire day due to Cast Members preparing for the kickoff for the Happiest Celebration on Earth! An official opening ceremony was held for "Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years" (featuring an appearance by Steve Martin). That afternoon, a presentation was held by Kelsey Grammar at Disney's California Adventure to give a sneak preview at what the Celebration would be offering to guests worldwide (Grammar even fell off the stage at one point! :blush). That night at Disneyland, a media event was held featuring an enormous gold carpet heading down Main Street USA. Among the attendees were John Lasseter, Tyra Banks, the Sprouse Brothers, John Stamos, Ricky Ullman, Aly & AJ, Julie Andrews, Leonard Maltin, the Goo Goo Dolls, Teri Hatcher, Jim Belushi, Jon Voight, Ray Bradbury, Richard Sherman, Dave Smith, X Atencio, Alice Davis, and of course the characters (including Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy, all in their snazzy 50th Anniversary outfits). Phew! That's quite a list! You can see coverage of the event here.

ALSO in 2005 - Over on the East Coast, Epcot closed early (3pm I believe) and a media event was held to open Soarin'. Patrick Warburton made an appearance.

Ok after a long repair i found out that my laptop was never fixed and so sent i it out again and i only got it a couple of days ago i couldn't believe how long it took and because it took so long, they put a new case and a better dvd drive in my laptop which made my laptop stay for even longer so hopefully my computer works now and i can say Back to History!
