Anaheim, CA, May 4-5 – Gosh, Disneyland, the iconic theme park, is now fifty years old, and they kicked off an eighteen-month celebration this week in high style, splashing gold all over the park as a mark of this momentous anniversary. We’re big fans of the home of Mickey Mouse and friends, and after a couple of days there, we’re sick of the lovable cartoon characters. But there was a seemingly endless supply of celebs, many with ties to Disney, like Christina Aguilera, who sang in Mulan, Julie Andrews, who played Mary Poppins, and Steve Martin, Sean Astin, Garth Brooks, John Stamos and Kelsey Grammer, whose relationships to the mouse house we couldn’t keep track of. One welcome amenity at the press preview day on Wednesday: no lines for our favorite rides.
