The Tropical Imports shop used to sell you rubber snakes and shrunken and life size human skulls. It was a little macabre, but it fit into Adventureland of yesterday. I bought a life size glow in the dark skull when i was like, 10 (1985ish) man, those were the days.

                                      Mission to Mars film Exhibit in tomorrowland @ Disneyland Anaheim Retired

                                      Monday, April 18th, 2011

                                      The attraction closed at Disneyland on November 2, 1992, having first been removed from most visitor documentation by 1991. One reason behind the closure was that the controversial attraction ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was to open in the building as part of CEO Michael Eisner’s ambitious “Disney Decade”. Along with Alien Encounter, The Timekeeper and “Plectu’s Fantastic Galactic Revue” would have opened in the radical and richly-detailed “Tomorrowland 2055″ concept. However, the “Tomorrowland 2055″ project was cancelled in early 1993 when the Disneyland Paris project suddenly found itself in almost a billion dollars’ debt. Michael Eisner started cutting costs around the company, and was not happy with the estimated cost of the Tomorrowland project, though he had liked the idea. Start of construction on Disneyland’s New Tomorrowland was changed from Fall 1994 to Spring 1997, but Alien Encounter, The Timekeeper, and Plectu’s Fantastic Galactic Revue never opened. The building remained unused until it officially reopened as a restaurant, Redd Rockett’s Pizza Port in Disneyland’s New Tomorrowland on May 22, 1998.

                                            Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

                                            Disneyland Opening Day in color @ Disneyland Main Street Cinema RARE NEW Disneyland Park was opened to the public on July 18, 1955 with only 20 attractions. A special “International Press Preview” event was held on Sunday, July 17, 1955, which was only open to invited guests and the media. The Special Sunday events, including the dedication, were televised nationwide and anchored by three of Walt Disney’s friends from Hollywood: Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings, and Ronald Reagan. ABC broadcast the event live on its network. The event did not go smoothly. The park was overcrowded as the by-invitation-only affair was plagued with counterfeit tickets. Only 11000 people were expected to show up, but a staggering 28154 was the eventual population. Movie stars and other famous figures scheduled to come every two hours showed up all at once. All major roads nearby were empty. The temperature was an unusually high 101 °F (38 °C), and a plumbers’ strike left many of the park’s drinking fountains dry. Disney was given a choice of having working fountains or running toilets and he chose the latter. This generated negative publicity since Pepsi sponsored the park’s opening; disappointed guests believed the inoperable fountains were a cynical way to sell soda. The asphalt that had been poured just that morning was so soft that ladies’ high-heeled shoes sank into it. Vendors ran out of food. A gas leak in Fantasyland caused Adventureland, Frontierland, and Fantasyland to close for the

The ride ends with a flight over Disneyland at Christmas, with a Christmas parade traveling down Main Street, USA, decorations on Sleeping Beauty Castle, and fireworks. Ride design: The vehicle (called a carriage) consists of three rows of seats under a wing-like canopy. After guests have been safely restrained in the vehicle, the canopy descends and a cantilever system lifts the chairs forward and into the air with the guests’ feet dangling free. The vehicle is lifted into a huge IMAX dome movie screen onto which scenes of California are projected. Since the vehicle is moved forward into the dome, the effect is such that guests can only see the images projected on the screen and are given the sensation of flight. To enhance the illusion of flight, subtle vertical movements of the seats are synchronized to the film. According to cast members who operate this attraction, the carriages do not move horizontally. Sensations of horizontally are created via a combination of vertical carriage movement and the turning image on the screen. In addition

                                                Friday, April 8th, 2011

                                                view construction updates, and an inside look at the plans and the attraction model. The attraction will be set underwater. At Disney California Adventure, the building is modeled after a 20th-century aquarium. The Palace of Fine Arts replica from Golden Dreams will remain but redecorated with an Ariel statue on top.[9] A garden and water play area is planned to accompany the ride; it will be located next to the show building. In the Magic Kingdom, the building will be featured in a recreation of Prince Eric’s castle. Guests will walk across a bridge over a pond that resembles a beach with the castle on it. A statue of Ariel doing the famous pose in Part of Your World (reprise) will be featured on the left of the bridge. To the left of the attraction is an entrance labeled “Ariel’s Grotto”, suggesting that the meet-and-greet with Ariel will be moved closer to the attraction. [edit]Ride The attraction will be a dark ride, similar to Peter Pan’s Flight and Snow White’s Scary Adventures, but it will have an Omnimover ride system like the one currently in use at the Haunted Mansion. The ride will transport guests under the sea and will focus on many of the major scenes and musical numbers from the movie.

                                                  It’s a Small World Holiday complete ride through @ Disneyland fantasyland

                                                  Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

                                                  Since 1997, Disneyland has featured “it’s a small world – happy holiday” during the end-of-the-year Christmas and holiday season. The attraction is closed in late-October to receive temporary holiday decorations inside and outside, and reopens in early-November before the start of the busy holiday tourist season. The overlay has proved very popular and at one point during its run needed the use of FASTPASS machines (which have since been removed). The attraction is the same boat voyage through many regions of the world, though the main theme song is not played fully. Instead, the children sing “Jingle Bells” and a bridge of “Deck the Halls” in addition to the main theme. The holiday overlay has since been implemented at Tokyo Disneyland with similar decorations, if not more, than the Disneyland version. From now on the Disney characters and The Spirit of America room (formerly the covered transition room) are joining in the “it’s a small world – happy holiday” at Disneyland. Disneyland Paris’s version used to add subtle decorations around the attraction and changed the music in the North American area to “Deck The Halls”. For the 2009 winter season, Disneyland Paris has added “it’s a small world celebration”, a variation of “it’s a small world – happy holiday” highlighting winter season frolic shared by people worldwide. It includes new costumes, lighting, sounds, decorations and uses the Disneyland (California) version “it’s a small world holiday” music – Jingle Bells

                                                      Pirates of the Caribbean ride 2002 (Complete) @ Disneyland

                                                      Thursday, March 31st, 2011

                                                      Originally envisioned in the late 1950s as a walk-through wax museum featuring pirates from history, the attraction evolved into a boat ride through complex show scenes filled with Audio-Animatronics characters after the 1964 New York World’s Fair, which brought about several advances in Disney’s theme park technologies. Instead, humorous sketches of fictional pirates by Imagineer Marc Davis inspired the animatronic diorama seen throughout the final attraction. Opening on March 18, 1967, Pirates of the Caribbean was Disneyland’s largest Audio-Animatronics project to date and was the last attraction Walt Disney was involved in designing. The portrait of the female pirate above the bar in the Crews Quarters scene is an original work by Davis. The pirate captain in the scene where captured women are auctioned as brides is a test bed for updates and developments to Audio-Animatronics technology; many innovations are tried on him first. As a result, his movements are far more lifelike and expressive than virtually any other Audio-Animatronics figure in all of Disneyland.disneyland disneyland disneyland disney’s california adventure disney’s california adventure adventureland tomorrowland fantasyland toontown magic kingdom animal epcot frontierland vintage retired yesterland old home movies great moments lincoln main street usa cinema star tours space mountain honey i shrunk the audience captain eo peoplemover mission to mars america sings innoventions skyway autopia carousel

It features 400 brightly costumed audio-animatronic dolls in the style of children of the world, frolicking in a spirit of international unity, and singing the ride’s title track, which has a theme of global peace.

The attraction’s whimsical design was done by Mary Blair, who was also an art director on several Disney animated features (including Cinderella and Peter Pan). Like many Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions, scenes and characters were designed by Marc Davis, while his wife, Alice Davis, designed the costumes for the dolls. Many of the dolls were created by Joyce Carlson who is honored with a shop window along the Magic Kingdom’s Main Street USA The sign there reads “Dolls by Miss Joyce, Dollmaker for the World.” The ride was completed in nine months, the shortest amount of time it has ever taken to create a Disneyland attraction. Disneyland’s version was closed from January to November, 2008, to receive a major refurbishment.[3][4][5] The building’s structure was improved, and the attraction’s boats and water flume were replaced. The refurbishment added 29 Disney characters, and the New Guinea Room was transformed into a North America Room, while the New Guinea scene’s figures, props, and set pieces were relocated to the South Seas Room. Sylvania agreed to sponsor the ride for 12 years. Sylvania created a new marque for the ride. The outer façade of the building at Disneyland presents stylized cutout turrets, towers, and minarets vaguely reminiscent of world landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. A major feature is Rachels gigantic, three-dimensional clock with a happy face that swings back and

Our package is supposed to include collectibles(lanyards, luggage tags, pins), preferred seating for Turtle Talk with Crush, a Disney Dream Coin, and Magic Morning into Fantasyland, and Mickey’s ToonTown Morning Madness. i think the package was just called "Disney’s Resort Magic Package" or "Disneyland’s Resorts Magic Package". i was just wondering when and where we would receive these items or if we have to claim them at the Resort. If it makes any difference, we’re staying at the Grand Californian. Thanks for the help!

                                                                No copyright infringement intended. Like several other Disneyland attractions, “It’s a Small World” originated with the 1964 New York World’s Fair (it was Pepsi’s pavilion.) After the fair closed, the ride was transferred to Disneyland and officially opened in 1966. It is argued that the song is the most performed and most widely translated song on earth. The attraction’s whimsical design was done by Mary Blair, who was also an art director on several Disney animated features (including Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella and Peter Pan). Like many Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions, scenes and characters were designed by Marc Davis, while his wife, Alice Davis, designed the costumes for the dolls. As noticed, the face on the animated dolls are all identical (hence, “it’s a small world”). The design of the face was created and delivered by New York (Valley Stream) artist, Gregory S. Marinello. Walt was personally involed with Gregory’s development of the dolls facial design. Disneyland’s version was closed from January to November, 2008, to receive a major refurbishment.[3][4][5] The building’s structure was improved, and the attraction’s boats and water flume were replaced.
