Disneyland Vacation Deals, Packages, Budget Planning

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.
