Page 1 of 5

Welcome to the first Disneyland Update of the year 2000. 1999 went out with a bang. If you haven't already, be sure to read our coverage of New Year's Eve 1999 at Disneyland. As you probably know, Disneyland celebrates its 45th anniversary this year. The slogan is "45 Years of Magic" and decorations and merchandise are already appearing around the park. Across the way construction is continuing on Disney's California Adventure (DCA) and the Downtown Disney shopping area. Meanwhile, other construction is continuing in the park including Main Street paving and the new Chevron sponsored Autopia. It's a very busy time for Disneyland starting off what promises to be a busy year. All culminating in what will be one of the biggest moments in the history of the Disneyland Resort, the opening of Disney's California Adventure early next year.

Note: There is a January 10th Special Edition of the Disneyland Update now available. It is the result of a presentation by Disneyland's Vice-President of Merchandise Tom DeCaro.
