Let's put it this way, even my kids comment on how hokey some of them can be. And that's saying something. On a side note, I have the cutest, smartest, funniest, funnest to be around kids in the world.

Originally Posted By TP2000 I would have loved to have seen the 1960's star on top of the Matterhorn! I've only seen photos of it, and heard stories about it.

But I think it's time to bring it back, with LED tech.

Of course, with the addition of the towers to the Disneyland Hotel, the nearby area got some tall buildings (and the landscaping surrounding the park has grown considerably), but I understand that it was truly a sight to behold. It wasn't too long ago that it was easy to see from a distance on I-5; now you pretty much need to know it's there to see it in the sprawl
