Disney by the Decade

Playing around and discovered a nice little find: The Orange County Register offers up two interactive maps. One is Disneyland at opening in 1955. (Above)

The next is present day Disneyland 2015 before the changes begin in January 2016 to the Rivers of America, Frontierland and Critter Country. 

As you'll see, the park has changed quite a bit, and there's much more to come in the next decade. If you want to play around with the maps and discover more, go here. It's a lot of fun.

Have some great suggestions for fixing Disneyland? Check out my article above. It contains my suggestions and asks for yours.

Another Disney Blunder- NPH Hosts World of Color for the 60th

Just another sign of how arrogant and out of touch Disney management is with the core of their guests. Neil Patrick Harris, the host of the 2015 Oscars- whose ratings dropped to a six year low- has been chosen to be the host for the brand new World of Color Show at California Adventure during Disneyland's 60th Anniversary.

Was he funny as all get out on the extremely well written and popular "How I Met Your Mother". Absolutely. Is he pushing the limits of good taste by his Oscar antics? Yes. Seems lately he is all about the shock value side of entertainment. 

Is NPH a big fan of Disney parks? Sure. But he's the wrong choice for the Disney brand of entertainment. Especially for this banner year. 

Where is Dick Van Dyke when you need him? At least he would bring a bunch of fun and a lot of charm to the proceedings.
