wonderful

An early morning pep-rally, no more exciting (and maybe less) than a high school might offer in preparation for a football game...
That's what's on the slate for Disneyland's 48th.
The current trend has been to "hold your breath and wait for the really exciting stuff coming for the 50th."
Okay, if that's the case, why should a Guest pay the full ticket price now? Why not offer discount tickets until 2005?
It seems ludicrous, but it just seems that Guests are really getting the short end of the stick for the next two years:
--Please watch a three year old parade
--Please do not mind the half dozen shuttered attractions-- something new is coming soon
--Please plan to stay a whole week, though there's really only enough to do in two days
--Please forgive us for getting rid of Magic Mornings, closing half of our restaurants, and offering bland merchandise... we have to "save up" for the 50th you know
--Please do not expect that "world class Guest service" as we have stopped offering a competitive wage and have fired most of our creative staff... but we promise to fix all that in two years...
Just makes you wonder: can DL become Magic Mountain for two years and then, miraculously, become DL again at 50?
I hope so.
In any case, "Happy 48th Birthday Disneyland!"-- I would've bought you a present, but I'm gonna wait till you're 50.
