To Disneyland Or Not To Disneyland

About a week ago we got a letter from Disneyland saying that the camera that we bought for $200 a week before we came to the resort was now only worth $80. A few days later we received a check for $300. The envelope was addressed to us but the check inside was made out to another person. We informed Disneyland of this mistake but they seemed unconcerned . A few days later we started getting urgent calls from the Disneyland Resort. They would like us to return the check as soon as possible. We are still arguing with them over the $80. The story continues.. Next month I will tell you what the result in the claim was..

Disneyland History DVD

I was looking at DLDHistory one day and realizing the huge amount of content that we have that no other site has. 

The problem is trying to sort through all of it and put together a nice time line of the History of Disneyland. I also watched most of the Disneyland Historical DVD's available, official and unofficial. None of the DVD's seem to have the complete history of Disneyland including backstage photos and information about deaths and injuries rare video clips etc. 

We are working on creating a full length Disneyland History DVD. The DVD will be a 5-6 hour video covering the full history of Disneyland. Including all attraction openings, parades, deaths, injuries, trivia, backstage photos and lots more. To my knowledge no DVD has ever been created with this type of content. 

We are now offering previews as we put together the DVD. The previews are low resolution working copies. The voice over has not been added yet. We will add background music and a few more edits. We will add more chapters as they are completed. The table of contents of the DVD will be:

  • Chapter I-Title

  • Chapter II-Before Disneyland
    Includes rare video clips from Coney Island and Pacific Ocean Park

  • Chapter III 1955-1959
    Opening Day
    Frontierland
    Tomorrowland
    Adventureland

    Fantasyland
    Main Street USA

  • Chapter IV 1960-1969
    Frontierland
    Tomorrowland
    Adventureland
    Fantasyland
    Main Street USA

  • Chapter V 1970-1979

  • Chapter VI 1980-1989

  • Chapter VII 1990-1999

  • Chapter VIII 2000-2009

  • Chapter IX The Future

  • Chapter X Credits

  • Chapter XI Extras

One very unique feature that will be available on our DVD is a quick way to access additional information on DLDHistory.com about an attraction. The final DVD will be a high definition video. We are predicting that the DVD should be complete mid 2010.
