Notes from the New Year


The Disneyland Resort rang in the New Year with a week of capacity crowds,
park closures, and a return to the Rose Parade.


On December 27, Disneyland halted sale of one-day tickets around noon,
when the park reached capacity. Cast members estimate that there were
over 80,000 people in the park. Electronic signs flashed a “Disneyland
is full” message to travellers as they approached the resort parking
lots. Visitors who could not buy tickets to Disneyland were encouraged
to visit Disney’s California Adventure park, or spend time in Downtown
Disney until the park resumed ticket sales in the evening. This scenario
was repeated daily until New Year’s Eve, when the crowds subsided.

Perhaps visitors were put off by the reports of overcrowding, which were
unusual enough that they made the local newspaper. Perhaps it was the
fear of a terrorist attack at the park. And perhaps it was the weather—New
Year’s Eve was cold and slightly windy, and a storm was moving in. Whatever
the reason, frequent New Year’s Eve visitors noted that crowds at both
parks felt lighter than in previous years.

Those who did brave the parks found a variety of entertainment options
all around. California Adventure was the home of the “Noon Year’s
Eve” celebration, aimed at families with small kids. After dark,
the park hosted several live bands and disc jockeys. Disneyland had a
live disc jockey in the esplanade in front of “it’s a small world,”
and crowds in the area were featured in a live broadcast at 9:00 p.m.
(celebrating the East Coast midnight moment).

Many people make New Year’s Eve at Disneyland an annual tradition. For
example, a large crowd spent the evening swing dancing to music from the
Eric Ekstrand Ensemble. Ragtime pianist Rod Miller dressed for the evening
in a rhinestone-studded tuxedo, and his fans brought refreshments and
decorations, and spent the evening gathered around the piano. A large,
mixed group of pin traders, NFFC members and readers of several different
Disney Web sites counted down the hours until midnight at the Plaza Pavillion,
where they played card and board games, traded pins and took turns making
snack runs.

Some visitors said that Disneyland’s midnight fireworks were less impressive
than in previous years, but those who spent the evening at DCA got a special
treat. Disney tested new pyrotechnic launchers over Paradise Bay, and
those who saw the show said that the excessive smoke that doomed the LuminAria
show from a prior year was not in evidence this New Year’s Eve. These
new launchers are said to be part of the resort-wide fireworks show planned
for Disneyland’s 50th anniversary.

On New Year’s Day, Disney made a record-setting return to the Tournament
of Roses Parade in Pasadena with its float called “A Sudden Drop
in Pitch.” The float, a replica of the Tower of Terror attraction
currently under construction at DCA, claimed the record as the tallest
float to ever appear in the parade.

Make that a portion of the parade. Instead of completing the parade and
joining the other floats on display in Pasadena, the Disney float peeled
off the parade route early, and began a trip back to the Disneyland Resort,
where the float will be on display at Disney’s California Adventure through
Tuesday, January 20. On Saturdays and Sundays, visitors can watch scheduled
“show moments,” when the float will run through its parade routine,
which includes lightning effects and a sudden drop of the “elevator.”

The float is built on two drive bases, which join at this point. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix, copyright MousePlanet.

This past Sunday, cast members said that the float was experiencing electrical
problems. Although the stunt performers appeared in the elevator, the lightning
effects were not visible and the car did not drop. Around the base of the float,
Disney characters and performers in fright wigs greeted the crowds. Decorators
replaced wilting and dead flowers with fresh roses and daisies.

A tent in the Pacific Wharf Amphitheater featured a video and photographs of
the construction and decoration of the float. Another tent housed artist renderings
of the interiors of the Tower of Terror attraction. Decorators demonstrated floral
techniques, and a craft area was set up for children to make their own paper flowers.

The Disney float has been not been without controversy, with some questioning
whether the theme and name of the float—of a tall “tower”
in peril and too reminiscent of the September 11 terrorist attacks on
the World Trade Center—in poor taste; while others were simply annoyed
that the float was not put on display in Padasena with the other Rose
Parade entries. Other fans dismiss these concerns, and are thrilled that
Disney has returned to the Rose Parade.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Circle D Ranch cast members received a holiday surprise when they reported
for work Christmas morning and discovered that Jekel, a white quarter horse
mare, had given birth. The newborn fillie was named Noel in honor of her natal
day, and cast members tell us she is adorable.

Another year, another dollar


The Monday after New Year’s is the day that Disneyland usually raises the price
of admission. In November, the Disneyland Web site was updated with new prices for
2004. The three-day park hopper was to increase by $10 per adult, and the two-day
hopper to decrease by $1 per person. New 5- and 6-day Park Hopper Bonus tickets
were introduced, and all of these changes were to take effect on January 5th.

It seems there was a change in plans. When Disneyland opened on Monday, ticket
prices were unchanged. The Disneyland Resort Web site has been updated with the
new/old prices, (though the two-day park hopper ticket is still listed for $1
less on the Disney site than at the park ticket booths). The new 6-day Park Hopper
Bonus ticket previously advertised on the Disneyland Web site has vanished, but
the 5-day version remains.

Current prices and packages for 2004 are as follows:

New 5-Day Park Hopper Bonus Ticket

  • Adults: $184
  • Children ages 3 to 9: $149

Each ticket comes with a $10 ESPN Zone Arena Game Card. This ticket is not
available at the Disneyland Resort ticket booths. A $55 discount, ($50 for ages 3-9),
applies to this ticket when you purchase it in advance through the Disneyland Web site (link).

3-day Park Hopper



  • Adults: $129 ($10 increase).

  • Children ages 3 to 9: $99 ($4 increase).

A $5 discount applies to this ticket when you purchase it in advance
through the Disneyland Web site (link).

2-day Park Hopper



  • Adults: $99

  • Children ages 3 to 9: $79


One-day One Park Ticket (Disneyland or Disney’s California
Adventure)



  • Guests 10 and over: $47 (unchanged)

  • Guests 3 to 9: $37 (unchanged)
