Let's take a trip to the blast from the past.

The concept art for the 50th castle:


How it turned out for the 50th:


The five crowns or "tiaras" and what they mean

Tiara Five: The 50th Anniversary of Disneyland is represented by fireworks and Tinker Bell. Ext 2005

I remember all of the excitement of the 50th. Seeing those concept art photos for the first time. Seeing the decor for the 50th. Being there on 5-5-05 for the kick-off. It was such a magical time!!! It felt sort of sad after it ended. The first time I was there after the crowns were removed and the 50th decor gone, it felt sort of bare!

I would post this up two years ago if I knew about that site and I didn't know if this was posted back then.

Re: The Tiaras Of the 50th Anniversary Sleeping Beauty Castle

Too bad some one bought them, cut them up and was selling the pieces on ebay. I'll have to find a link and see if they are still posted.
