July 99'
As many of you know Disneyland just had it's 44th Birthday. This year they centered the birthday around the 4 Disneyland Mountains. For $8.97 you could buy a passport and get it stamped at each Mt. To me it didn't look like many people where buying them and it didn't look like many people where getting them stamped. But the most important part (At least I think) is that this is the first birthday since 95 that Disneyland has really made a big deal. Thanks to one of OPD's reader's (Karyn) we have pictures of the passports. Click Here To see them!!
In New Orleans Square Disneyland just opened up two new stores. The stores names are Port D' Orleans and La Mascarade. These stores offer a lot more special items. I think it is great Disneyland redid these two stores. This way it keeps Disneyland looking new and in 5 years they won't have to redo all the stores in New Orleans Square like they had to do with Tomorrowland.
I had a chance to vist the new Plaza Inn and may I say Disneyland did GREAT on this. I think Walt would be very proud and would love to vist and have some chicken or a nice cold Sprite. If you go let me suggest the Chicken and the Carrot Cake. And if you like Salads you will love the Cobb Salad. Once again this adds greatly to the whole Main Street feeling. I love the new Brickes on the side walk and the new Plaza Inn. Once again this is a great move by Disneyland because now they won't have to redo a Ton of stuff on Main Street in 10 years. All I can say is Way to Go Disneyland. (If you go as a group you may want to share a meal. The Carrot Cake can feed 4 people.)
Tarzan's Tree house is a great addition to Adventureland. It really add's to the whole Jungle adventure I think Walt wanted. I was very glad to hear that the attraction will be staying for years to come. The line is usally about 10 mins long and the line to meet Tarzan or Jane or Terk (or sometimes there all together) is at its shortest about 15 mins. Also you can see Tarzan and Jane at the end of Fantasmic on the Mark Twain (they are on the first floor of the Mark Twain.
From The Laughing Place:
Conquer the Four Mountains of Disneyland
(July 12 - July 25)
From July 12 through July 25 Disneyland guests can
purchase a "Mountain Range Passport". This is not a

unique collectible that commemorates the four
mountains of Disneyland Park. The passport can be
purchased for $10 each at the Disneyana Shop,
Emporium, New Century Timepieces, News Stand,
Disney Gallery, Premier Shop or Mickey's Corner.
With the passport simply visit each Disneyland
Mountain - the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Space
Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and Splash
Mountain - a have your passport stamped by a
designated host or hostess at each location. Once
you've been stamped at all four mountains, go to the
redemption center at the Disney Gallery in New

Conquered the Four Mountains of Disneyland"
commemorative birthday cloisonné pin.
As an added bonus on July 12, 13 and 14 only
Annual Passholders will receive a limited-edition

to the other commemorative birthday pin.
Celebrate the Parks' 44th Birthday on the
Disneyland Mountain Ranges (July 17)
Walt Disney Imagineer John Horny has been
commissioned to create a special commemorative
"Conquer the Mountains of Disneyland" painting.
The art will be available as a lithographic

join together to sign it in honor of the celebration.
The limited-edition signed lithograph will be available
beginning July 17, 1999 at the Disney Gallery in

Tarzan is lookin' great:
Well I have heard more and more about the Tree house and so far nobody has said anything bad. There are some great articles if you check out one of my favorite pages.. The Laughin Place They have some great pictures too. And once again I am asking for you help. If you would please send me your info for Current Construction and Changes and your Trip Reports. Send them by clicking
here!!
Other News!!!:
Well as most of us know Plaza Inn has reopend a large amount of Toon Town has been Re-Painted. The all of the boats are returning (Except for the Mike Finn Keel Boats). Here is report from the LA Times about how Disneyland didn't really have any new "big" ride or show this year. " Rather than add major attractions, Disneyland this summer
opted for a general sprucing up, ranging from a $7-million
remodeling of the Plaza Inn restaurant on Main Street to a new
paint job for Monstro, the whale who swallows riders on the
Storybookland ride." I am glad Disneyland has done all of these upgrade things this year!!!
Tarzan is HERE:
Well let me just say im proud of Disney and Disneyland right now. Let me tell you why. Sure Im mad at Disneyland for VQ and other things right now. BUT... This new Tarzan tree house looks great from all of the pictures. And I can't wait to see it this summer!!! And sorry to say it I don't have any pics on OPD right now. But 2 other websites do. You can go here or here both sites are great!!! And all of them have good pics. And for all of you that don't think you should see the movie I think you will like it. I liked it a ton.

The Disneyland name toppled:
That's right, the giant Disneyland marquee is
down! I don't know if they're just altering the wording on it (i.e.- The
Disneyland Resort), or if a new sign (with place for DCA's name) is being
constructed.
Yesterday the whole sign was laying on the ground.
Other rumors say that a new sign might have a high resolution
screen (like many of the Las Vegas casino signs have now). Imagine seeing a
full color, full motion, Fantasmic commercial up there. Now that would be something. But I still will miss the old sign.
Tent's changing:
After a year of promising that 'the Fantasyland theater tent
will be rethemed to fit in with Fantasyland', something is being done. Sure,
it's only a blue tarp adorning the top peaks of the tent, but at least they're
trying something! Please note the picture to the right is not the new look for the tent. That is a Old Picture:)
