Welcome to the disneygeek.com
Flashback section. Here we take a look back at past events or attractions
at the parks. If you have a request or a flashback to share, drop
us a line.
Halloweentime @ the Disneyland Resort
In this update I have three sections. DCA and Disneyland from 2006 and then a look around the 2007 version.
This is our first look
inside the park for the Annual Passholdere preview day.
Here is our original update (we put up much shorter
updates...)
DCA Pre-opening
11/3/00 - Here is are DCA update from 11/3/00, just
3 months till our first look into the park during one
of its AP Preview Days and a little over 3 months before
its February 8th official opening.
11/17/00 - Getting closer to opening, finishing touches
are starting to be applied to Downtown Disney in preparation
for its opening in a little over a month.
11/24/00 - Downtown Disney is really taking shape with only weeks till opening.
12/16/00 - My final update from 2000 looks at the nearly finished park and you can see some CMs testing out some attractions in the park, with opening less than a month away.
We had a request for a park visit around 11/2/01 and amazingly enough I was at the park that day. In this update we take a look at the rollout of the 2001 Holiday decorations at both parks as well as preparations for the following week's premiere of Luminaria at DCA. Also note this is DCA's first Christmas.
We had a request for a look around Disneyland sometime during the week of May 18-24, 2006 and I happened to be there on the 19th so here is the update from that trip.
March (2004, 2005, & 2006)
We had a request to see how the parks looked in March so I pulled a couple updates from each of the past three years.
How the park looked
in December.. less than two months till opening day.
Including the Hotels, the Tree Lighting on Main Street,
Small World Holiday and more.
Christmas Day at the
Disneyland Resort, a first for me.. this update looks
at both parks including my first ride through Monsters
Inc during the Preview as well as a look at the daily
Re-dedication event.
