At the end, it indicates that DL was open Wed - Sun. Did it used to close Monday and Tuesdays?

It's funny at the end that the Days are listed for when it's open. Now it's open 365 days a year.

Wow! Disneyland's marketing department has come a long way in 20 years!

Yes, during the winter it was only open five days a week then seven days a week during the summer and holidays.

They used CM for testing BTRR when I worked there -- we always liked to receive a call to send some folks over to do some test riding for awhile.

That's funny! And after I was done watching there were suggestions for other old ride commercials, and in the Splash Mountain one the guys hat falls off and I LOL'd because of the noise he made. They sure have improved their advertising since these commercials!
