Is there any special ceremony planned that will be going on July 17th, to commemorate the actual opening day of Disney Land other than the fireworks shows that are currently ongoing ?

I don't know, but I plan on going!

That will be a cool day to go. I would expect record crowds to be there.

I may go around that time ha just for the crowds and have fun!

I'll check my disney calander to see if something special is marked

I hope so! I'll be there! 8)

There's the rededication ceremony at 10, I think? Eisner is supposed to be hosting it, and I believe Art Linkletter and friends will be there. Check the mouseplanet boards for more info.

on my calandar it just says its important but thats it

See you all there.

I am looking at going as well. I looked on mouseplanet for events on the 17th but havent seen anything except the exclusive purchasing event stuff.

I will be going to Disneyland the 15th, 16th, and 17th. So Yeah! I will be there!

I will be at Disneyland to 7am to close, I know someone that works at Disneyland and she is going to give me some great passes, oh and she is going to make me go in the parade 8/ hehe I wonder how that will go lol.

I won't be comming down.. I may kick myself later, but it doesn't seem like enough is going on to make it worth the mob hell

Here's what a friend linked me to from Mouse Planet.

1. DCA will open at 2:00 am 7/17 for the purpose of holding guests waiting to get into Disneyland. - valid 7/17 DL admission will be required to enter DCA and ticket booths will be open. When guests queue up they will get their commemorative ears and whatever other gifts will be given out on the 17th. The commemorative ears are not the regular ones currently sold in the park, and they can not be embroidered. Limited refreshments will be available for sale inside DCA - Smoozies, Award Wieners (limited menu), ODV. Restrooms will be open. NO entertainment. It's a line, not a party. When guests enter the park they will receive a wristband. If they leave for whatever reason, they will lose that wristband. If they return, they will have to rejoin the line wherever it currently is at that time.

2. The Timon lot will be open, with tram service, for those who wish to camp out in DCA the morning of 7/17. The Mickey & Friends parking lot will open at 6:00 a.m.

3. DCA will stop admitting people around 6 a.m. Guests who arrive after that will queue outside of the security checkpoints at either end of the Esplanade.

4. Disneyland will open at 7:00 a.m. for an "unpublished opening." The DCA crowd will be escorted into Disneyland at that time. The security checkpints will re-open once the DCA crowd is inside Disneyland, bag check's will resume and people will be allowed to go right into Disneyland. It is estimated that it may take as long as an hour to get all of the DCA crowd into Disneyland, so the 8:00 announced opening time might be accurate for those who do not camp inside DCA.

5. They probably will not do the softer, staggered closes we're familiar with as attendance increases. There is a maximum capacity number, which has not been disclosed, and the park will close when that number is reached. When the gates close, it will be a hard close - NOBODY gets, regardless of their story.

here's the entire article: http://www.mouseplanet.com/parkupdates/ ... 050711.htm

Good luck

Why thank you*blushes*. For some reason I only noticed when the color of the mickeys changed.

I really want to be there on the 17th now. Gimme those Mickey ears!
