Im not sure if this is the right place to put this, but does anyone have a picture or link to a picture of what the castle looked like the last times it was decorated. I mean the 1st Birthday and the 5th when it went all "topsy Turvey"?

Here's the 1st Anniversary:

I hope this helps!  I think the birthday cake looks quite good because they covered the whole castle (forget the ugly colours for a moment, lol), whilst the Festival of Fools makeover isn't too good because so much of the castle was left bare.

Moved the topic to Disneyland Park btw. :wink:

I love these "packed" castle pics What about the 10th Anniversary, wasn't there any special cover for the castle?

Do we know anything about the special of the 15th Anniversary, or will it "only" be what we've got in the other thread (Characters hanging on the castle)? (Sorry for my bad English, I'm watching GERMANY--PORTUGAL on tv )

Edit: GOOOOAAAAAAL

For the 10th Anniversary, they just had a special number "10" scroll on the front of the castle, which was placed there on 12th April 2002 and was removed the next day.  They also had a birthday cake stage on Central Plaza for all the press events, but that didn't stay there long either, once the day was over.  They wanted all the focus to be on the newly-opened WDS, you see. :wink:

Here are a couple of official photos:





As for the 15th, it's likely we won't get any more than what you see in those Key Visuals (which is IMO very nice and tasteful), but please keep all discussion about that in the relevant topic.  :wink:

Well, they failed in my opinion. There are still so many people who don't undersyand the "Resort = 2 seperate parks"-concept. Many still don't even know that the Studios even exsist. Bad marketing in my opinion. But thats a discussion for another time.

Ah okay, thank you ! Really doesn't look that expressive and amazing as the others do... but you've already said it, they wanted to concentrate on the WDS' opening...

Thanks guys, knew I could count on you for the pics!!  

Have to say, the 15th plans look a lot more classy
