Today, during Disneyland’s 59th Birthday Celebration, it was announced plans for the Disneyland 60th Birthday!
Not too much was said about what they are planing in the park as part of the Disneyland 60th Birthday, other than the celebration starts in the Spring of 2015, but they are asking people to send in photos, and have a chance to win a trip to Disneyland for the celebration.
I was not really planning a trip to Disneyland next year, but now I am re-thinking my plans 🙂 We were at the 50th celebration, we have the golden mickey hats! So we HAVE to be there for the 60th, right?!?! HA! We will see if it happens, but seriously considering a trip for the celebration now! Now to get my husband, and finances on board to make this a reality.
When they had the 50th celebration, we submitted photos for the big murals that were made out of all the pictures that people submitted. We had several pictures that were in a few different murals, and we took pictures of them on that trip to Disneyland. I might have to dig through my computer and find those pictures and post them!
What do you think? Does the Disneyland 60th Birthday celebration entice you to head to Disneyland next year?
Here is what they said about the celebration:
“Today, in addition to celebrating the 59th birthday of the Disneyland Resort, we gave guests and fans a sneak peek at our upcoming Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration, which begins spring 2015. It’s an incredible time at the Disneyland Resort as we prepare for next year’s Diamond Celebration,” said Michael Colglazier, president, Disneyland Resort. “We’re excited to honor our rich history, to celebrate the incredible magic that fills our resort today, and to create unforgettable memories with our guests for many years to come.”
As part of this morning’s festivities, we’re inviting the generations of families and friends who have visited to share their favorite memories through the photos they have taken at the resort. We’ll share some of the photos here on the Disney Parks Blog, and one lucky guest will have a chance to win a trip to the start of the 60th anniversary celebration in spring 2015. Starting today, fans in the United States and District of Columbia are invited to submit photos that represent their memories from the Disneyland Decades – 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000 to the present. Using hashtag #Disneyland60Contest, guests may share the photos via Twitter or Instagram. Let us know the decade in which the photo was taken in the description or tweet.
