People complain that Disneyland is taking over Other Disney Resorts....lets see, isn't it Disneylands 50th, not DLP, or WDW.

[Evil Minion]

I think other resorts should be left out of the celebration.

Thank You!!!!
I don't think they should be left out, they should be Less Extravagant, and give the funds to DLR, we need the new rides, and we need to fix DCA, not give other resorts the new rides.

Totally agree. When Its WDW's anniversary I doubt they will give DLR all new rides and the like..

I respectfully disagree.
I think that their "world-wide celebration" is good business and, although we all hate to admit it, more paying guests at any park is better for APs. I do dislike the fact that Disney doesn't always mention what they are celebrating in their ads.

Totally. We haven't had an E Ticket ride in DL since Indy.
It's time to do something big, Disney Suits...

[DL_CRAZE]

Yeah, I was like what the hell when I heard they were giving all theese new attractions to WDW and TDL. We are the ones who should be getting everything. Its our 50th anniversary, not theirs. When the magic kindom celebrated 25th anniversary, we didnt get anything.

[fkurucz]

TDL is not owned by the WD Co.

[Disneyfanatic]

I say PEOPLE MOVERS!!!!

And NO movie tie ins, look at POTC and HM, the 2 greatest rides in every Disney park, we need a ride like that, also reminds me of a funny experience, when i was going on, a little girl was crying her head off scared and begging to leave, and after the ride, she screams "LETS DO THAT AGAIN!!!!"

[Skipper S]

The problom is the money stays were it is made. and WDW has more parks to make money from therfore they have more money to spend. Yes it is the same companie but they do not share the bugdet.

[Evil Minion]

TDL is not owned by the WD Co.

It is but only a tiny percentage. It's mostly owned by the Oriental Land Co.

Anyone know what the percentages are ?

[Disneyfanatic]

I think this also show what Eisner thinks about Disneyland, its our 50th, and yet other parks get new rides, more budget, more everything. All Hail :bow: Mat Ouimet :bow: (hope i spelled it right), if it weren't for him, we would have buzz, the new tommorow land, all the cool things for the 50th, new subs, new everything!

[Small Panda After All]

This is all just part of a larger trend I've noticed. Everyone thinks that WDW is so much better than DL. I never understood it, having grown up in the area and spending so many of my formative years there. I've always been bitter about the fact that WDW gets everything first and by the time we have the same rides, it's almost old news. I'm so excited about the 50th anniversary and though I like the idea of everyone celebrating DL for once in a *long time* I almost wish that it got something entirely its own.

[Ghostbuster626]

I go to WDW its so lame compared to DL. Sure its a nice resort to visit but the actual rides suck..Half of them are inferior clones of Disneyland classics (IASW, POTC) and the other half pale in comparision (ex: Indiana Jones is far better than "dinosaur")

Anyone know what the percentages are ?

The Oriental Land Company is the sole owner of the Tokyo Disney Resort.

There are subsidiaries responsible for certain aspects of the park's operations, but only a few are not wholely owned subsidiaries. And Disney has no stake in those that are not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISNEYLAND.....not much more said!

As far as I know, the WDC does not own any of TDR, but rather gets a on site management and licencing fee and 5 % on WDC merchandise. This is like 100m bucks for TDL a year, clear. It's in the annual reports.

Disney also requires OLC to make sure the Disney name is not tarnished by this arrangement. Disney does not require itself to do such things, though.

BTW: it's "Cast Member Matt." Please make a note of it.

[Mr. Eggz]

I'm really surprised to hear that anyone from WDW has suggested they "hate" Disneyland. I grew up with WDW and I LOVE Disneyland, as do all of my friends.

Also, I think everyone should keep in mind that WDW is getting more new attactions than DL because WDW is paying for them. DL is short on cash because DCA has been underperforming for the past 4 years. DL has to show a reasonable profit and can't afford to invest in new attactions at the same rate as WDW. It's not about corporate preference, its about economics. Each business unit is run separately (to some extent) and needs to make decisions about how to re-invest their funds.

As I wrote on another board, people should differ their expectations based on the park they're visiting. Expecting the same experience from two very different vacations destinations is not a wise idea.
I just answered some 30 questions from a WDW'er planning a two-week vacation to DLr
