Dunno about those - but we were on small world today and noticed there were some chess figures in gold that I swear were not there before. I would have got a pic of them - but I am one of the few who listen to the "no flash pictures" thing :eek:

AND as I posted about last week the Mark Twain is getting painted now, the smokestacks are all covered up! whoooo-hooooooo!

they were probably the silver color all the rest of the water fountains are. they are probably just painting those to add the extra little details for the 50th. they look nice though.

it's all in the details! gold everywhere is great, but i think it is more sophistocated if it is sprinkled around the park (like pixie dust). that's just my opinion.

Kinda' funny when you remember that they didn't have operational drinking fountains back when Disneyland opened in '55.

I want it to look classy though so I hope they wont put it everywhere and instead just continue doing the small gold touches.

That's thanks to many years of management who didn't begin to understand the importance of the 50th, or what it took to impress long time park stormers. Current management has done a herculean job at turning things around in a limited time and a very limited budget. Still, it would have been nice to have 2 or 3 totally new E-ticket attractions for this monumentous date. Oh well. . . . .

Directly related to that is one of my favorite Walt stories and quotes.

In a review of Opening Day at Disneyland, a newspaper reporter criticized and accused Walt of deliberately excluding water fountains from his park in order to sell more Coke and Pepsi. Walt responded to the paper by detailing the infamous plumber's strike and how he had to make a decision between having water fountains or toilets in time for Opening Day.

"Folks can always buy a Coke...but they can't pee in the street!"

i SOOOO agree!!! It should have been something like: For the fiftieth (which is only celebrated at DisneyLAND ANAHEIM, as it is THEIR birthday) we will be reopening space mountain, new and improved, everything is repainted, there are two new parades, Buzz lightyear opens, there will be murals across the park AND *** The people mover will reopen and the tahitian grill (name?) will reopen and there will be more street performers all year (like the mime and other cool guys) and there will be....okay, i'll let it go....
