However how did they remove the 5Oth on Splash Mountain? did use a crane or did some perch over the ledge? i would think the orbitor and oberveatron 50th were also a task to remove. Anyone know how they did the removal of the trickier 5oth stuff? Also when or are they going to repaint the Main Street light posts?

Originally Posted By nemopoppins I know it was added for the 50th, but I think they should leave the giant "pixie dust" on the Sorceror's Hat at the DLH. They can take the 50th emblem off, but leave the dust and lights.
Originally Posted By dresswhites do you mean the strobe light effect? i thought that was there even before the 5oth.
Originally Posted By Eiffeltower We were at Disneyland yesterday. All the murals are gone. All the gold ride cars ON the rides are gone. Most of the gold ride cars IN FRONT of the rides (where you can - er, could - pose for a photo) are gone. The lamp post tops along all of Main Street, gone. All 50th merchandise in the Emporium, except gold ears, gone. The 50 mickeys, gone. They have come very very close to completely removing every hint of 50th from the park. It is sad. The castle still has it's special gold additions and, of course, the Main Entrance of the park is still 50th, along with the floral / Mickey display in front of the train station. We thought it was ironic that the area they have NOT removed is the first thing you see when you walk in the gates - even though it provides a false sense of "50th celebration still on." We really thought we could get some final photos of 50th decor since it is still September; however, if anyone has waited to catch the tail end of the 50th celebration - sadly, they are too late now. It was great to enjoy will it was here.

I would think they'll probably get a lot of dissatisfied customers.
