Re: DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget
It does look windy out there. Do you know about what time the fireworks go off? Is it around 9 or 9:30? I'm guessing I will have to wait for a weekend, the three hour time difference would make me a fairly crabby person the next day...hmmmm, Disneyland fireworks, or a pleasant person the next day...decisions, decisions!MmeLeota wrote:I actually have the Mattercam up right now and I'm hoping to remember to check it for the fireworks...I like looking at it every now and then...it was windy there today

The holiday fireworks went off at around 8:45ish or so from when my mother went to see them last week. I think 9:25 is the basic time for the fireworks.

Re: DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget
Boy, I was looking at the photos of the DCA entrance/exit/Sunshine Plaza today ~ that looks like a real mess! I hope they have a few more turnstiles open by summer or that is going to be one heck of a bottleneck!

Re: DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget
I just saw this post on Micechat http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/in-the ... parks.html and saw that they are working on removing the letters in front of DCA. The entrance has six turnstiles on the far left side and the exit is on the far right.

In this case, the left side of the photo is the exit. The right side is the entrance.

Adios, letters!

Re: DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget
I wonder what they are going to do with the letters? I would think they would be highly prized for a collector!

Re: DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget
Just looking through the latest MiceChat and it looks like the entrance and plaza are going to look very similar to Hollywood Studios at WDW! Maybe that is why it will be named Buena Vista Street?!

Re: DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget
They might try and sell them, didn't John Stamos buy the old Disneyland sign letters? I don't think they are part of the new entry, but they may try and reuse them somewhere.Amy wrote:I wonder what they are going to do with the letters? I would think they would be highly prized for a collector!

Yup, they are making the entrance like Hollywood Studios's. I don't know why but I think they feel it has an appearance for something in the past to fit the theme.Amy wrote:Just looking through the latest MiceChat and it looks like the entrance and plaza are going to look very similar to Hollywood Studios at WDW!

I still believe that when it is all said and done that this park will be renamed something like "Disneyland's Hollywood Studios" and DCA will be a thing of the past.
