I do remember back on 9/11/01 seeing the news crawl displaying DISNEYLAND EVACUATED [edit: It actually never opened that day, so the crawl must have said something else] along the bottom of CNN and feeling really sad. What the heck is going on with the world when Disneyland has to shut down?! I know it was a minor blip in the midst of everything happening that morning, but it really struck me - and back then I wasn't even a huge Disneyland nerd.

I don't recall hearing that Disneyland was third on the list to be hit. Although it wouldn't surprise me. Everyone around the country was frantic that day..I lived in L.A. and the whole city was shut down...it was so scary.

That story and those pictures are surreal. And I liked that Disney brought characters to Hotel rooms where guests and children were stuck, to entertain the kids. Poor kids probably didn't understand why they couldn't go into the parks.
