Do you guys think it is to early to make reservations at a Disney Hotel for the 50th? I don't care if all were getting is a new parade and fireworks show. It will steal be history in the making, and I want to be there when it happens. Are any of you out there starting to make plans to go Disneyland's Golden Anniversary?:D

DL*Guy, I'd be surprised if they will even accept a reservation for that far "out" but it might be worth a phone call to see.

Yes, I agree with Mamma Silva. If you do find out anthing, please share it with us. I believe there are a few on the board that wold like to attend the 50th Celebration.

I already had the same plan but hadn't called yet. I dont think they will give rates for the hotels 2 years in advance.

My money is that Disney will come out with some package, just like they have with many of their special events. I'd bet we'll see something unfold come Fall, 2004.

I am sure they won't be able to give rates, BUT you can make reservations for WDW hotels, several years in advance. I know I made mine 2.5 years in advance but didn't get the rates they can out for that year.

How long will the 50th year celebration be? Will there be one special day - the exact day the park opened 50 years ago - or one special week, month, season? Anyone know? We would like to come out again for the 50th also. J-L :)

If Disney follows a 'pattern' the actual celebration will be at least a year if not 18 months long....

The park officially opened to the public on July 17, 1955 so if you want to be there on the actual date.. that's the day it's going to be the most packed....look for me somewhere near the hub ;)

Sounds good! Yes, I would love to fly out there again. We just went last month for the first time and had a blast. Thanks for the info!

Well, this year it's a Thursday, next year (leap year) a Saturday, and...be afraid, be very afraid...the big 50th? A Sunday!!! I'd make reservations as far in advance as possible.

I'll be a CM when the 50th comes around and I can't wait to experiance all the new things. I hope it's as fun being with other CMs and sharing the experiance as I think it will be. Of course...that is if I can stray too far from the Hunted Mansion on my breaks. (Where I hope to work). The new space mountain ride better not disappoint.
