Disneyland Park Turns 50
New attractions, a re-imagineered Space Mountain, and Sleeping Beauty castle will help celebrate 50 years of magic at the Disneyland Resort this coming May.
On May 5, 2005, the Disneyland Resort will welcome guests to the "Happiest Homecoming on Earth." Guests will be able to enjoy a battle between the interglactic hero, Buzz Lightyear with the evil Emperor Zurg in a new attraction entitled, "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters."
More than 50 of Disney’s favorite characters will march down the brand new "Walt Disney’s Parade of Dreams." "Remember Dreams Come True," a new firework show will hover over the re-vamped Sleeping Beauty castle.
Disney’s California Adventure Park will continue the celebration with the Block Party Bash, an interactive parade.
The celebration pays tribule to Walt Disney’s dream of Disneyland, a park that celebrates family and entertainment.
All Disney theme parks will join the party around the world including Walt Disney Resort in Florida, Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan and Disneyland Resort Paris in France. The opening of Hong Kong Disneyland will also join as they open a new park expected to be twice the size of Walt Disney World.
