Much like the 20th don't expect anything on the scale of the 15th. That said I'd rather OLC concentrate on doing a small roster of entertainment than have to endure temporary/seasonal shows like Gift of Dreams and Remember again. The parade is pretty spectacular though and has a very clever concept. Can't wait to reveal it all later in the year!

The 20th totally underwhelmed me except for the parade. I wasn't surprised they had to resort to big giveaways to get people through the doors. It just didn't have the feeling of the 15th. TDS' 5th also did little for me except for Mythica (but I'm bias on that front). It all felt like too many little things (all those largely awful regional shows in each land) and two terrible concepts in Big Band Beat and Over the Waves. It lacked any big impact until Tower came along.

In addition to what you mentioned already, I'm looking forward to the decorations, merchandise, shows and entertainment, special meals, promitional giveaways, and on and on. Also, depending on when you last visited, you might not have seen the new Dreamlights, POC, ToT, Sindbad make-over, etc.
Originally Posted By Malin I did Tower of Terror last year and will be back next month to checkout Dreamlights,Pirates and Sinbad. The menu's,merchadise,decorations etc will be fun to look at and try and possibly even buy but you get that sort of stuff all year round for the various events and that. The only thing thats got me the least bit excited is the new parade which I may just sit out and wait until after the Anniversary when the Monsters inc opens.

Besides, all of your hysterias aside, I am willing to bet my sweet rounded buns you will be there bright and early on April 15th, 2008. Who are you kidding?

Must admit that the 20th logo and the stuff that went with it has been my favourite to date anywhere. I really liked the design. I must admit I can't remember if we actually won the lottery watch or if we were given it. I know a very good friend gave me the Tinker Bell 20th silver watch (maybe that was the one that was part of the sweepstakes). I definitely won the pin set at least once. My favourite was the bronze Mickey that we bought though. Such a beautiful pose and a pretty low LE if I recall. And yes...I will be there April 15. There isn't much in doubt about that.

(and that "carnivale" music is SO catchy, and a fun parade, and the castle show...ahh, the memories!! GREAT stuff!) They should just do that one over and over (every 5 years). p.s. I'm surprised you liked the 20th anniversary parade, Lee. I kinda thought it sucked, personally.

They out did themselves for the 15th with it's grandeur and variety based on the four seasons. It was simply grand.

Originally Posted By Mr X Ain't that the truth. Flying is a real pain too...luckily those lavatory smoke detectors are a snap to dismantle, just bring in a deoderant can to cover up the smokey smell and you're all set (obviously, getting the alcohol on board is not a worry).

Do you really want to put up with all that? Take this as good advise... NEVER make such jokes on a public forum. They are not funny and will not be tolerated by those in control of your situation.

Originally Posted By Mr X **and you will have the most arduous time everytime you book a flight.. meaning, security inspection in the private rooms at Security, close scrutiny everytime you go thru Immigration and Customs Do you really want to put up with all that?** You mean, like what passengers already go through on a daily basis in Nazi America? And they don't even get to enjoy a cigarette for their trouble! **and even better, being banned from most airlines when you fly.** Can I still fly Aeroflot? I've read they are very lax about their smoking rules, maybe this whole crackpot scheme could turn out win/win after all.
