Disneyland: 100 Years of Wonder, Part 1

Earlier this month we spent a full day at Disneyland, from opening to late evening, enjoying the "100 Years of Wonder" celebration.


The centennial decorations include fountains in the castle moat...


...and the Good Fairies holding this banner above the drawbridge of Sleeping Beauty Castle.



Tarzan's Treehouse has been closed for quite a while now, and a "rethinking" of the Treehouse which is closer to the original Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse will open later this year.


In my last Disneyland post I mentioned the park's recent issues with signs. If you click on the photo below to enlarge it and read the sign at the right you can see that the word "site" is spelled "sight" and "permission" is spelled "persmission." The spelling of "archeology" was also changed to "archaeology" on the corrected version.


A new exhibit has opened in the Opera House on Town Square, "Film to Attraction, Attraction to Film." I'll have some exhibit photos in my next Disneyland post.  (Update: Here are the photos!)



At the Opera House entrance one can see the Griffith Park bench where Walt Disney sat when he first dreamed up Disneyland.


A horse from the Griffith Park Carousel.


Disneyland has a new fireworks and light projections show, Wondrous Journeys.


We really enjoyed it! The light projections on the castle are said to have bits of every Disney animated film.


More Disneyland photos coming soon!

I'm really looking forward to seeing photos of the exhibit. That sounds neat. Love their decorations and the blue/silver colors of the flowers in your other post.
