Originally Posted By DigitalDisney FYI, 30th and 35th anniversaries aren't as memorable as 5th and 10th. I'd be willing to bet that both WDW and DL didn't have a special DVD for their 5th anniversary either. A 35 minute DVD of any Disney park (including the dreadful WDS) is really lame. I obviously haven't seen it, but it sounds like a serious ripoff based on the time constraint alone. Where's the coverage of the park's construction, opening, Mira Costa, and a tour of each of the park's lands? I suppose they'll cram it all in the "Tokyo DisneySea Memories" segment. TDS is loaded with theming, has a decent amount of attractions and is loaded with shows and entertainment. No doubt there are single shows that are close to (or at least as long as) the length of this single DVD. A 35 min DVD is simply not fair to the park, and to anyone that had a blast when they went there.

I'd be willing to bet that both WDW and DL didn't have a special DVD for their 5th anniversary either. << Well for one thing... back in 1960 (DL's 5th) and 1976 (WDW's 5th), video or video players, much less DVD formats, were commercially available to the masses as they are now. However, View-masters did a great job of bringing us images of the Bicentennial Parade at both parks in 1976. Also... to say that the 30th and 35th birthdays weren't as memorable, then it only tells me you do not know what you are talking about, for several reason... The 30th was a huge celebration at DL with the park's first all-night and plenty of fanfare for a whole year (I was there unlike you); and who can forget DL's 35th celebration with the biggest parade to date in that park "Party Gras" and the gift giver machine among other anniversary events for a whole year.. (I was there and you were not). To tell ME of all people that the 30th and 35th were not memorable is at the very least laughable! Any old timer at DL will agree with me on this one. As for WDW, they screwed up the 30th with their "100 yrs of walt" overlay, and now they have screwed up the 35th with this crappy Million Dreams campaign. Seems to me the only ones who find WDW's 30th and 35th UNmemorable are the twits running that resort. I am sorry if I am being harsh but do not try to make me wash down erroneous information when my memory and photo albums still serve me well on this issue.

Disneyland was the only park to have big celebrations for those anniversaries. It's funny, after WDW's 25th, they just stopped caring. Instead they made up celebrations.

Especially since they have the "Enjoy TDR", and "Discover" DVD's that do go into detail on the parks' locations.

We're happy to have a visual recollection of the best theme parks in the world while we can't visit them. I've shown other DVDs from the Tokyo Disney Resort to my 5 year old daughter (who watched them intently even though they're in Japanese) and her immediate reaction was, "Papa, when can we go to Japan!" Gotta love that.
