Even though Disneyland's official 50th anniversary isn't until July 17,
the "Happiest Homecoming on Earth" kicked off on 05/05/05
(that's 50/50/50 backwards). ALL EARS® west coast correspondents Laura
Gilbreath and Lee Zimmerman visited the park to get a first-hand
look at the changes and special events that are part of the 50th anniversary
celebration.
The Disneyland
park itself has been extensively dressed up. There are gold accents and
decorations everywhere, and the number "50" is prominently displayed
(and appropriately themed, of course!) throughout the park.
There's a
new parade, called "Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams", and a new
fireworks show called "Remember… Dreams Come True."
The Main
Street Opera House features a new attraction called "Disneyland –
The First 50 Magical Years" with artwork and scale models on display.
In the theater there's a movie on the construction and history of the
early years of Disneyland.
We'll have
a more detailed report next week, but in the meantime here's a look at
some of our photos:
